Does changing the platter on a TT alter the cartridge's alignment if the platter is thinner? I'm replacing the MDF platter on my Rega P2 with a glass one.

EDIT: I guess because the MDF platter has a recess, and the glass does not, I imagine that they are the same effect height. Does this sound right?

One sometimes-touted reason to own a turntable is to listen to the ever-shrinking universe of albums that have never been released digitally. Yet, I do not think I have ever run into one. Of course, any record can be ripped and put on a CD nowadays, but that, of course, is not what I'm talking about.

So, my question to you, fellow vinyl-enthusiasts: What albums do you own or know of that have never been released (officially) on a digital format?

Hi
I have the Krell KAV 400xi integrated amp and AKGK701 head phones. I was wondering if there is a way to use the amp to listen to music through the headphones.

Please inform.

Thanks
Babu

1) Would it be a good idea to make the mid/high absorbers at first reflection points as 4" thick plain OC703 panels as it would increase the low frequency absorption. Or for the fact that these panels are in the walls (as opposed to corners) they will not be effective as bass traps.
2) Could someone also explain me why the lower frequency sounds gather up at corners?

Spotted this ad- "1591 Watt Stereo"

So I stopped by Kinokuniya (a Japanese equivalent of Barnes & Noble) near the NYPL, to kill some time. Went to the magazine rack and saw what is perhaps the most gorgeous looking stereo mag anywhere. It's a quarterly, so it's THICK. But as can be expected from a Japanese aesthetic, the magazine looked impressive, with lots of great pics. Some of the most droolworthy audio-porn I've ever seen in my life.

Hi

Ive mentioned a few times on the forum that this is probably my favourite single peice of music. From it being the first LP I ever bought ( ELP verison ) to the peice of music that led me into classical music.

Well i was in London last weekend on a business trip and just happened to notice the proms were taking place at the Royal Albert Hall, well it then turned out that Pictures was on the card for that night !!!!

Hi,

A few weeks ago I was feeling stressed and generally in need of cheering up. Well i spent a few hours on ebay and visiting a local store beverly records. The point of this exercise was to purchase vinyl for my recent revival, however this vinyl was not purchsed with any view to the musical quality it was strictly purchased on emotion and memories of teenage days playing records on a cheap old record player.

I'm coming from an engineering/production realm but actually know little about the brands of receivers and speakers for home entertainment.

I live in an apartment so space is kind of an issue. I'm thinking bookshelf speakers or slimmer standing. Basically this set up will be used from everything. Movies, music listening from vinyl and cds, games, etc. Price is flexible but definitely on the budget side. I'm thinking around $400 for the reciever and $600-$800 for speakers. I have a TT, cd player, dvd player etc. and I'll need to get cabling, but I can figure that out.
