Talk Me off the Ledge - A cry for help
I have it, no sibilance at all. If the rest of your LP's sound "right" and you've tried the suggestions given, it could be that particular copy. The new re-release is actually quite good, second only in my mind to the Japanese Pro version or a pri... 
What LP shows what analog can do?
There are many, many, many. Too many to list. Here's one that might get overlooked, though. WAR, "Why Can't we be Friends". 
Best arm for a Nottingham Spacedeck?
This thread is a wee bit dated, but I had the opportunity to audition a Basis Vector on the Spacedeck this week and thought I'd relay my impressions. Flat out excellent. Super dynamic, incredibily taught, involving bass, but still articulate in th... 
Decca London Cartridge?
I heard one of these many years ago and recall being very impressed. I understand that one can get them re-tipped by Garrot (sic) Brothers. 
get vinyl rig or audio aero capital
For $1200, I am supposing that you mean the Interspace. If you can get the Hyperspace for $1200, RUN, do not walk, and get your money order sent!!!! Better yet, tell ME your source and I will run! :-) 
suggestions for turntable set up around $6,000.
I do not know any of the principals mentioned, but I do know that the Schroders are GREAT arms and worth a listen for possible inclusion in any discriminating system. 
Mat Material...............
Richard, I responded to you personally with respect to the Mystic Mat.Boston Audio makes a mat that is cut from a solid cylinder of graphite and ground/polished/sealed to extremely close tolerances. I wish I had a couple extra hundred to throw aro... 
Mat Material...............
Richard, I have heard that Avid table only once so I cannot give great detail without blowing smoke (though that doesn't stop quite a number on this board). I am not partial to the sprung subchassis tables, in general, at that price point. I will ... 
RB 900 tweaking
Tom, I understood that you were speaking about Rega-based arms regarding the microphonic lift. My question is whether you, or others, find this an issue with other arms, or if it is a peculiarity to Rega arms. 
RB 900 tweaking
Tom, your mention of the finger lift being microphonic is interesting. Do you find this to be the case, in general, or specific to the Rega arms? 
how to eliminate air-born RF
This is a real shot in the dark, but check to see if you have a thermostacially-controlled vent fan in the gable end of your house. When I moved into a house once I did not know one existed. I keep hearing a damn humm, but only in one room, and on... 
Best Live Recordings:Performance and recording
Tvad, I'd am fairly certain that the Livestock LP is circa 1977. 
Best Live Recordings:Performance and recording
Oh, there have been some truly great ones mentioned. Just a few more:Commander Cody - "Live from Armadillo Headquarters"J. Giels Band - "Live - Full House"Neil Diamond - "Hot August Night" (only ND worth owning)Marlena Shaw - "Tokyo Live"Stan Getz... 
Maxwell Smart and Miles Davis?
I'm listening to that track right now......, and loving it! Gee, I hope you didn't take that "You're out of your mind" crack personally. :-) 
Is vinyl dead ?
Wes, I wholly agree that your "good enough for the mass market" theory will likely dictate sales levels. And, to some, the $$ "is where it counts" is also valid. I would, instead, be in the camp of quality over quantity. You may be very well corre...
