thanks for that other tip, im reinstalling now. ill have to see which way will work

okay ill have to try that out, i thought of that after i uninstalled it yesterday haha... time to reinstall again!

there's no drivers on Esi's website for windows 7, so i thought that vista 32 bit might be the only other option. I might have to wait until the full release comes out in a year

Hey all, I'm trying out windows 7 RC, and i can't get my juli@ to work, the vista 32bit drivers arent installing... anyone have any ideas?

thanks for the insight guys! I'm hoping to pay <50$ for led zepp I; do you think thats a fair price?

Hi all, It's been a while since i posted on here, as i've been busy... Quick question, what's everyone's oppinions on Classic records' Quiex SVP series 200g vinyl? Is it true that they are mastered from the original tapes, or is this just some bs? Has anyone heard them (I'm considereing...

i just recently bought an mmf 2.1 and im very pleased so far.. thats my 2 cents

have you thought about lenovo thinkpads? there currently on sale until mid December i believe

it seems as though i do have some inherent noise from either my preamp or integrated amp, as with the cart off the record, i get quite audible noise when i put the volume to halfway on my reciever... Is this just a filtering problem in the amp itself, or would a line conditioner help at all...

thanks for all the replies guys... i moved my preamp away from the turntable as much as i could, as i figured there might be some emf or something that could have been affecting the cart pickup. i'm still going to be tweaking my tonearm, as i am still debating messing with the vta on it....
