I put oranges on the grocery list. Thanks for the reminder. 
Linn Sondek Hype
Normansizemore, I'm sorry you had such troubles with your Linn. Mine has the Origin Live DC motor/power supply upgrade which only cost just over $600. This is as far as I need to go to get great unmuddled sound. My arm is just the Basik LV X with ...

Detlof, I'm well on my way! Most of the time I blame my short-comings on the possibilties of Alzheimers creeping in, ignorance, or just plain stupidity. Multiple choice! 
Peanuts from hell
Be careful when vacuuming styrofoam, as this creates static electricity, which can wreak havoc with sensitive electronics. Been there, done that.

"Perhaps you younger folks don't know any better." Perhaps some older folks are getting senile. HAHAHA!!! I'm 52! 
what do you know"
Baroque lover, instead of needling folks here, why not start a new thread on the topic of the plecebo effect, and see where it goes. You will probably get alot more interested parties who have the same view post to your thread, who do not even kno...
