I need to get a new turntable. I'd like to stay a good bit under $1000

Anybody able to compare these? Thoughts?

Pro-Ject X-pression 2
Music Hall MMF-5
Thorens TD190
Rega P3
Goldring GR-1.2

thanks

I notice most specification for Input Sensitivity/Impedence is usually LINE 220mV/47kohms. I have also seen 220mV/22kohms. What is the difference? Which is better or not?

Hello,

Can anyone tell me of any magazine reviews they know of which had the EAD Theatervision P cd/dvd player in them, I was told this was an award winner some while back, but have no idea which magazine ?

Blah, blah blah, and another thing, you are just a big @#$%%#@%@#%#. Your speakers S***, you don't know nutin'...Blah blah, blah, what do you know, of course the screw holding the outlet cover plate affects the sound, what are your DEAF? Anybody with ears can hear the difference between a white cover screw and a ivory colored one. You must not have a very revealing system, you must have your speaker wires on a carpet, or you don't have an open mind.

For the most part loved the July issue.
But!!!!
The reference to the K-S cables as being "among the quietest I've used". Do other cables really add noise?
I bet an open cable would be very quiet.
And in the Conrad Johnson review do you mean that teflon capacitors don't meet their specs when new but change their value after use? If so by how much do they change? Is it within their tolerence? If not why are they using such crap?

Great issue. How to rebuild a Quad, room correction and Keith Howards Down Deep article. Technical data. Love it.
But could Keith explain the definition of "phase distortion"? Is he refering to simply phase shift vs frequency? Not to infer that phase shift is not important. I understand phase shift caused by a electrical circuit such as a crossover, but I am having trouble grasping the concept of phase distortion caused by a speakers inherent bass rolloff.
Especially if the speaker is flat down to the lower frequencies of hearing.

I like reading about good old Quads coming back after insane efforts by whacko enthusiasts, and new Quads being made even better, and perhaps a bit less costly, in China.

I like listen to audio junk. Old, new, prototype, unknown origin, it is all fun.

And Richard V is an interesting king in the speaker mfg kingdom, he keeps bldg good stuff

July is a good issue. Mine arrived today, 6/16, seems plenty early.

Never hear anything about him anymore.
While we're at it: whatever happened to Corey Greenburg[spelling?]

I've been looking for a 5.1 system and stumbled upon this
Based on the $800-$1,000 price range I see on the internet, Overstock's price of $269 looks pretty good. I can't find any good info about the company or the product though. Has anyone heard of either CML or Puro? Are their products any good?

First Post!

Thanks for your help.
