Would you refer this to all interested parties?
UMF sez: "Their sales are down because their music sucks, not because it is too easy to down load."Thank you! Good night everybody! 
Norah Jones on Bluenote??
I read the initial post in this thread and a veritable host of thoughts came to me. Then I read the entire thread and discovered that Rives had stolen all of my "thunder". Thanks for saving me some time, Rives! :-) 
Classic Records / Procol Harum
I bought this one, too, and I agree on AWSP, it is very well laid down.OTOH, I have found the Classic issues, on the whole, to be inconsistent. About 1 in 3 I've bought have been plagued with very bad surface noise (after cleaning prior to first p... 
Back into vinyl - part 1
Wasn't that table known as a Transcriptor at that time? 
Teres is Done
I think the yell associated with John Dean came from Nixon (or maybe Haldeman and Erlichman). On the other hand, Howard Dean's may have been as equally desparate. 
Do I 'Hafta' clean a brand new audiophile LP?
No, ya don't HAFTA, but if ya don't, ya SHOULDAUse the Record Reseach Deep Cleaner, best I've seen to remove that crap.

Get the Mc upgraded. Second the soft-recovery diodes, too. 
Did I damage my cartridge?
In the immortal words of John Lennon, #9,#9,#9,#9,#9, #9,#9,#9,#9,#9..... 
Good automatic TT's
I'd probably just get an old Sony, Pioneer, or some such auto table from the 70's for cheap and put on a decent Shure or AT cart. If you got a buzz on to the extent that the hands are a shakin', you probably won't hear the difference in relative s... 
Need help picking budget Turntable
HH4, sorry if this is a highjack.I have the graphite Boston Audio mat (actually called a Mat 1). It is my belief that different mats will perform much differently depending on the platter compostion. On my Spacedeck, I did not like a felt mat or a... 
Need a step up transformer and DC power supply
I've not heard the Jensen transformer alone. The best I've heard personally are the Bent Audio 103's which use Stevens and Billington trannies and the K & K Audio using Lundahl for a bit cheaper.Kudos on the Herron. It is a very nice phono sta... 
Decca cartridge experiences
This is very interesting, the talk of Decca pickups. something you don't hear much of on this site. My father used to be into analog years ago and always swore by Decca, London, and if memory serves, Stanton. I was too young to pay much attention ... 
Origin Live Illustrious Tonearm
Patrick is right on the beam. However, this does assume that you are mounting it on a table that uses the washer and nut. If you are using a table that features an armboard that employs a collar which tightens around the arm pillar (in place of th... 
A prospective Teres owner with questions
Doug, you are welcome here anytime. YOU'RE cold? Given TOm's description of his abode, I suspect he is busy devising a heating coil for his platter, lest a nice thick layer of frost form! :-0I am mostly in jest with respect to the above. I have he... 
A prospective Teres owner with questions
Doug, with VERY good reason you love your Teres rig, and I wish that I had it myself. However, some folks consider my Spacedeck to be on the dark side of neutral with respect to tables and I can get all the detail you mention with my Spacedeck/Ill...
