Burnin out his fuse up here alone (which can obviously be taken in, ahem, a variety of ways), while the "longest ever known" might reflect delusions of grandeur. :-) 
Selling McCormack Upgraded Gear
Very profound indeed, and in my opinion, right on the mark in a growing majority of instances, Neal. 
Review: McCormack DNA-225 Platinum Edition Upgrades Amplifier
Rja, I am truly humbled that anything I might have to say would lead others to make an actual buying decision. However, I believe that you have made an excellent choice and hope that you will enjoy your amp for many years to come. I will have keen... 
USPS shipping prices ?
I, too, have NEVER had a problem shipping USPS. Ever - but I have heard horror stories from others about ALL shippers. With respect to cost, though, it varies. I almost always find USPS Priority Mail cheaper - except when comparing to UPS or FedEx... 
Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?
I recently had my McCormack DNA-225 upgraded to Platinum Edition status by Steve McCormack (SMcAudio.com). Amplification is now one aspect of my system that will remain unchanged for quite some time - literally years. While of small consequence in... 
Anyone a Classics 78 Expert Who Can Help Me?
Buxter66, thanks. For some reason, I was drawn to these sets which were on a very dusty shelf. Like I say, the music is great and the sonics very nice, indeed. I was shocked, to be honest. Again, classic are not really my bag but they are fine lis...

Review: McCormack DNA-225 Platinum Edition Upgrades Amplifier
Rja, I had the Classe CA-300 and the original DNA-225 at the same time. While I found the low end control of the Classe very good, indeed, I found its presentation of the soundstage less "3-D" and with less air than the McCormack and the top end m... 
What is a fair price for a used Spacedeck ?
I think so, and without any doubt. But, YOU need to know for yourself. See if you can listen to a few first. You say one person says this, another says that. Where does that leave you? Decidign who to believe? I know it's hard but your not going t... 
What is a fair price for a used Spacedeck ?
I cannot tell you about fair pricing. That is up to you.I owned Spacedecks with both platters and I found the taller platter version pretty much as your person described. Still very good, but less lively and musical. Contrary to what some might ot... 
"will ship at buyer's risk and expense"
It is true, it is the seller's responsibility to file damage claims but the buyer has to cooperate with information and maybe pictures. I once bought a piece that that was supposedly damaged in shipment and the seller said, "These things happen, b... 
What is a fair price for a used Spacedeck ?
Get the shorter platter. Trust me. 
Nagaoka CL-152 Record Cleaner?
Doug, I'm shocked that you'd raise your thumb to something that "left a film"! :-O Think I'd rather use a Discwasher or LAST brush with a little RRL fluid or even distilled water as a precursor to RCM'ing before using something like that.One thing...
