Not just "a" record clamp, "the" record clamp.

Hola,

I have a favorite product that I am willing to call definitive for its category.

This...

I've had it 22 or so years.

I rank it ahead of the SOTA Reflex Clamp because it weighs less and does the same thing. It's also easier to adjust the amount of downpressure.

Of course I forgot to take a pic of my favorite record mat!

Anyway, if you ever come across one of the Maplenoll clamps, grab it. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Beginner Needs Advice

I've been looking into getting a stereo system with a TT. I have about $700 I can spend. I was thinking of getting a cheap used TT, around $100 or so. Maybe getting a Technics SL-1200 or a Rega Planar off of ebay. I originally thought of getting a new Rega P1 but decided to put more money into the amp and speakers. Any ideas?

The rest of the money I want to put into an receiver and the speakers. I was thinking of a 2.1 system if anyone has any suggestions.

Thanks!

My PC music server

My setup was strongly guided by the TAS article (Dec 07) many of you have probably seen. So, the laundry list will look familiar. I did this setup as a cheap proof-of-concept to see if I liked using a music server at all. Hence the PCI card instead of a DAC and generic cabling.

PC:
Nothing special but overkill for music. 2.4Ghz P4 chip running XP sp2.
Ultra-quiet fans: $30-40 for two.

Storage:
Internal 500GB Seagate Barracuda drive. $100 new on ebay.
External 500GB Maxtor One Touch. $100 retail on sale.
