Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II
Oh, one last thing because I would be seriously remiss if not giving Jlin kudos for digging through his archives for all the old tips that might have been summarily flushed otherwise. Surely many will benefit from your effort. 
Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II
While I appreciate the sentiment, Win, I am not seeking particular credit for myself, or my son (who has actually contributed substantially without anyone's knowledge). He, and I, really could not care less and it is fruitless to debate with those... 
Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II
Funny, when my son and I reported on making a 70lb+ plinth within the first several pages of the old thread, you rather poo-pooed the need for additional weight, Jean. Seems to me that "overkill" was th eword used. Then. reading that thread, it wo... 
How to use Record Research Lab cartridge cleaner?
I agree with Steve and, in a typically anal fashion, go a step further. I use two bottles of #9. With the first I apply some #9 directly to the stylus tip using the soft brush and then apply a drop to a LAST stylus brush and give the back to front... 
Power Conditioner for your amplifier?
We seem to ne paralleing each other lately Antonio. My DNA-225 Platinumsounds best stright into a 20A dedicated via a Shunyata Taipan. Tried a few conditioners, too, to worse effect. They're fine for the front end stuff, but not the amp.

Mccormack DNA125 or Belles 150A Hot Rod
Pardon the pun, but Belles and McCormack are starting to sound like a broken record.IMHO, you have VASTLY overblown the situation with respect to how often the McCormack and Belles amps are mentioned in this forum but, granted, these names (especi... 
Mccormack DNA125 or Belles 150A Hot Rod
Before I bought my DNA-225 some time back I auditioned a DNA-125 and the Belles. In short, very short, I'd pick the McCormack. Zaikes description of the 125 is pretty much the same as mine, absent the slightly rolled-off treble which I did not not... 
My digital front end outdoes my analog.....
It takes so much more investment to get great Analog then it does to get a great digital, ....That may very well be your opinion, but it is not a fact. 
vandersteen 5a question
Sidssp, mine, too. Maybe we have "old" ones. (?)I asked this question when I bought mine and was assured any difference would be so negligible as to not matter. Based on the performance of mine, I'd tend to agree. I have zero problems with top end... 
My digital front end outdoes my analog.....
Thoughts?You are happy - good for you.One less vinyl buyer - good for me.Well, it's profound to me... ;-) 
setting the azimuth
Yes, in arms with no azimuth adjustment, shims are one of the only ways, and this scares people off from even trying. And, it is too bad because azimuth adjustment is imperative for a completely "true" setup. This is one reason, among others, that... 
Anyone into GOMEZ?
Adams?? YES!! :-) 
setting the azimuth
eyes to closely approximate - ears to fine tuneIf all carts were assembled perfectly "square" it would be a relatively easy matter, but thaty ain't ;-( 
Morph the Cat deheaded
Tvad, I was not insinuating in any way that you had an agenda.
