weird soundstage with pianos
Seems they do this with drums, too. Bass brum, tom-toms from one speaker, high-hat from the other, snare somewhere in the middle. I'm with Tom, this is annoying.... 
Best Sounding LPs
Jean, if you like "Raincoat" try "Shot Through the Heart". IMHO, a better album if just SLIGHTLY less "audiophile" than Raincoat. Or, "The Hunter"! :-) A couple more well recorded female artist LP's are "Between the Lines" (original CBS recording)... 
You CAN Go Home Again
LOL, Bigjoe. He is going to perform here locally this summer. Interestingly (or not), he is one of my 16 yo son's favorites.I recall him on Letterman maybe 10 years ago when he did a 15 minute or so version of "Let's Stay Together" - working the a... 
Best Sounding LPs
I have a number of the CD-4 records and, while some are good, most of the SQ records beat them by comparison - at least the ones I have. The grooves on the CD-4 records were very thin and some cartridges do not do well with them.Some stated correc... 
cleaning vinyl. which cleaning fluid to use.
I thought Torumat was no longer produced. Or, maybe that is why your bottle is empty. (?)

What LPs do you use for VTA adjustment
As you yourself attest, Raul, you are a newcomer to this forum. As such, I think you are being a bit too sensitive and critical of Doug's responses. After you are here for a spell, I think you will come to appreciate that statement. He, like many ...

I'd start compiling notes because I will wager that someone will claim that their ShopVac is every bit as good as the Loricraft.Has Paul appreciated the Loricraft vs. the ShopVac visa vis the price differential? HA! :-) 
What LPs do you use for VTA adjustment
You mean the drug that makes you a new man, except for the problem that now the new man wants his, too? Oy...

A Loricraft? You bastard! :-)Let me ask you this. Do you then "finish" with the RRL Super Vinyl Wash after using the aerosols on the "soily" ones? 
What LPs do you use for VTA adjustment
One thing nice about my Graham 2.2 is that it has a graduated scale from which to take reference points and allow fine tuning while retaining the ability to get back to square one...with a vernier scale on the adjusting knob which allows fine-tuni... 
cleaning vinyl. which cleaning fluid to use.
IMHO, and after many comparisons, Record Research Deep Cleaner and Super Vinyl Wash are the best, and not by a short margin. I recall Albert Porter, some time ago, offering to send RR fluids to those who would like to try it out for themselves. I ... 
Cathedral Ceiling the Culprit in New Music Room?
All of the glass on the doors is covered with drapery, but I suppose the sound can penetrate them somewhat easily. I have thought of buying an "accordion-type" of divider which I can pull shut to eliminate the passageway. Not much I can do about t... 
Looking for new TV under $2K
I just bought a Mits 65413 for $1,800. For the money, VERY hard to beat. 
Graham and Shelter matching - and other arms/carts
Oh, I'd love to afford a ZYX for my 2.2 so that I could give you my impressions! :-)
