Use a suitcase Crosley and tell me how much you love the Debut - so salty! I understand the limitations of the table and the compromises especially within the price point but really, calling it a cheap piece of stuff multiple times is uncalled for especially when I've stated multiple times mine was a gift - sort of insulting. The Rega still has me hooked - when enough time passes with the Pro-Ject I will hunt out another Planar 2. God I love those glass platters and the slim, wooden plinth.

9900 was the best one - still the only phone my mother will touch. Have 1 stocked and waiting for when she kills her current one

Both are great options, I had my eye on the older Rega Planar 2 before I received the Debut. I've been looking at Music Hall's integrated amps but I'm still awhile from upgrading

Oh come off it, it's not that bad. Mine's been perfect so far. Infinitely better than a Crosley and certainly better than a cheap, USB Sony or Audio Technica. Personally I'd buy a Rega before anything else - my Pro-Ject was a gift Mike immediately shat on when I posted it in the audiophile thread

Brampton is definitely home of the GTAs worst drivers - I commute in and out of Brampton for work and my insurance went up when I had to tell them that

My winter favorite, have since updated the band to leather.

How are you finding the chain hop with the medium cage XT? Looks good!

I started my own thread in the 1998 section but your replies have been great - sorry to clog the thread about something On Topic The car passed emissions within the past two months so an SAS pump should be clear. PCV should be interesting as from what I know with regular driving, good oil and decent gas the PCV should be fine, the PCV on our 2000 NA hit 325,000 kms ( 201, 946 miles ) on it's original system. Thanks for clarifying on the lines / location - at the end of the day it is a $3000, 17 year old car and I expect to replace parts here and there but I'd rather not walk into a rescue case.

Thanks! The vacuum / charge hoses and oil leaks are what concern me - is there anything typical of the year / mileage? The car in question is around 200,000 kms (or 124, 274 miles).

Ahhhhh I see it now. For some reason (either error operator or a glitch) I could only see the 'questions' section. I had a '97 850 but it was a manual and an NA, and I'm looking at a '98 GLT A/T - no experience with turbo anything so I'm out of my realm of experience and knowledge and would rather not get burned in buying a car.

Went go post in the 1998 and prior subforum and it seems things have changed with the last big update - for people that know, and sorry for this seemingly stupid question, where can I ask general questions? I'm looking into 1998 V70 GLTs and was looking for all info under the sun...maintenance, experience, what to look for, etc.

​It is a Debut Carbon. I haven't heard the hum in my speakers but from the motor it self before I drop the needle, but I'll listen for it. I currently live in a condo and the table lives on a solid steel media center with rubber wheels that is weighted down by all my other equipment; I've walked past it a few times and I haven't made it skip and I haven't adjusted the tracking force since I set it up. That and I can't hear any noise from the anti-skate. Either I've got shitty ears or the combination of the media center and the condo's concrete build have helped... I wanted to build up a Rega Planar 2 but this was a birthday gift. I honestly really enjoy it so far, but I've heard the acrylic platter and placing nylon washers between the motor body and the table body help quell some quirks.

Set this up over the weekend

Picked up this little guy the other day - quite pleased how it handles my PC USB input and optical from the DVD player

What, no Cardas, MIT, Tara Labs?

Power is something I'd often overlooked until I went to a relative's house and helped him with an upgrade to a newer, higher quality wall-plug (duplex) and a second-hand Nordost power cable. Cleaner, more efficient power really filled in the bottom end, I was shocked! It's quite easy to either get caught up in the law of diminishing returns or to blindly fork over money with no results I ran what was probably hacked up extension cords for most of my university days

I've heard really good stuff about the Belden for both intercooler's and speaker wire, was going to order some but then got a bit lazy No harm, no foul. I certainly did not spend hundreds and I'm happy with my purchase. Can't tell if sarcasm, but it seems to me speaker wire / ICs / power cables to audio people seem to be what oil is to car people - a never ending, nowhere debate lol

What is everyone using for speaker cable / interconnects? Curious after the reaction to my latest purchase

Did some work on the XC bike last night.

After Steaming Nostril 2014

I don't road bike, but for CX and MTB I have an oddball pedal...Speedplay Frogs.

Kitten-killing picture of my xc bike getting a rear winter tire Tire switch over - Conti Race King to a Conti Survival Pro

One from the ice storm in the GTA

More of a Polaris/Yamaha guy myself, the dealership chose the sled and did the install. Can't complain though.

Photoshoot for work... We manufacture all of the LED lighting on the sled.
