    Not my misguided opinion. He has said on numerous occasions that the Chinese turntables are only good for landfill.

    New Turntable suggestions please!

    I think it's because he doesn't make them in bulk and people around the world ship their turntables to him to modify. I have met him and he is a fantastic person and has always got time to chat. I bought my turntable second hand from eBay I got in touch with him and asked if he would give it a...

    On my LP120XUSB my arm was decending way too quickly onto the record but it was an easy fix with silicone oil after that it goes down perfectly thanks to good old youtube.

    I believe that the LP-8 is in another league. I can see from your signiture that you have RigB'd your cartridges that has also improved the sound of my AT turntable not many people know on this forum about the RigB and would be quick to dismiss them.
