NAD S200 vs. McCormack DNA125
The wise money is also the unanimous pick here. Get the McCormack. Get the upgrades, too. I did the Platinum upgrades on my DNA-225 and it is one of the finest amps I've heard, at any price. 
Who was Peg?
...and a separate name for your retail operation, eh, 'stang?Qdrone sez: "Former President Ronald Reagan called her "The best man in England" Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher."You must have watched the 1979 in music show that was on the television... 
Record Cleaning Fluids: RRL vs. L'Art du Son
Not unlike most of what Fremer says, IMHO, he doesn't know of what he speaks regarding record cleaning fluids. The RRL fluids DO disperse into the grooves, they just don't stay there. The idea is that they enter to the grooves, do their business, ... 
Weak point in this analog system ?
No problem. Most often, I don't even understand myself! :-) 
Bob Crump passes away over holiday.
JUST saw this and am shocked. Bob was a truly good guy. He will be missed by MANY.I will relate a story that I hope will be of interest to more than just me. Several years ago, when I had gotten back into two-channel audio, I was visiting a shop i... 
Weak point in this analog system ?
Sorry for thinking your system was unfairly and harshly criticized. Bye to you, too. 
Record Cleaning Fluids: RRL vs. L'Art du Son
I've heard of folks getting more, but I average about 200 LP's per 32 oz. bottle using RRL fluids on a VPI 16.5. If you figure that rate, it comes out to about two bits per record if using BOTH the Deep Cleaner and Super Vinyl Wash on every LP. I ... 
Weak point in this analog system ?
Guess it's hard to be either regarded or to enjoy music when your system has a trash cartridge and equalizer components. Plus, since you probably don't agree (and shouldn't), I guess we can assume that your inexperienced, don't care about music, a... 
About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
An Irish Blessing that puts me in mind of what Pat might be thinking right now:Death is nothing at all.It does not count.I have only slipped away into the next room.Everything remains as it was.The old life that we lived so fondly together is unto... 
Can a scratched record...
Scratch "repair" and alternatives have pretty much been covered here but I;ll ask the obvious. What is the LP title? Maybe some here can help with replacement. Copying the LP to CD is easy, though and, as has been said the "click" can be digitally... 
About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
I am struck by something rather poignant. I very seldom post on this site anymore and it is largely due to this thread. The undaunted spirit of my fellow Irishman, Pat, has helped me to place the more important things of life in their proper persp... 
ZYX Universe - Unipivot or Dual Gimbal arm
This may just reiterate what Doug, and perhaps others, have said, but I am not certain that Wally's Azimuth tool is all that necessary. I shared in that tool for a time and on each of four different arms which I had previously set by eye ball - al... 
I fell victim to a scam
Why did you not leave negative feedback for that seller?PayPal will not help if you actually receive goods. If the seller misrepresented or if something is broken they are of no help. HOWEVER, if you receive nothing, they WILL help (at least in my... 
So are W63rd Blue Notes like rookie cards?
There's nothing quite as satisfying as playing one for these mint original beauties. OTOH, you pay dearly for the pleasure. I think the "rookie card" analogy is a fairly good one, being the owner of many of both.Fully support Albert's notion of su... 
What happened to AIVS?
Yeah, I heard something about Michael Fremer doing something like this - in which case “notable” would not really mean “accurate” or “reliable”. Do you know more? You seem to hint at knowing results.
