Music on Vinyl Commentary
If you like New Grass, try to find a copy of David Grisman's Hot Dawg. Great music and outstanding musicianship. I've always felt that Grisman is where Fleck wants to be. 
Walker Audio Prelude LP Cleaning Solution
Here's a link to a very good dissertation on enzymes. Sorry, I don't do hyperlinks. :)http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1124989009&read&keyw&zzaudio=intelligent

Fair enough. If Lloyd's solutions work as good as the AI and are as affordable then this could be an excellent alternative.

Perhaps it is a bad choice of words, but I was under the impression that enzymes were not living things and as such had no life cycle. I'm not challenging the effectiveness of this cleaner but perhaps questioning the claim on the effective time sp... 
Looking for turntable for under $1000
Watch for a used Basis 1400. They usually come with a Rega 300 or better. Same motor that is used on the Basis Debut and has a single set screw for VTA adjustment. Way better than the tables you mention. Of course this is assuming you will conside... 
Where do I make the long run IC or speaker cable?
I have to ask how long is long? I've used both configurations with great results. What matters most is the cables used. 
Record weights, mats & dust covers?
Rick, I've recently come full circle on the use of a weight. I've used clamps in the past and was mostly happy with the results. The nice thing about a clamp is that you can control how much pressure is exerted on the vinyl and thus the amount of ... 
Turntables from 1-10: Personality 8.5 Beauty 12
If it's eye candy you want to talk here and nothing else it has to be a Teres, IMO. Very hard to beat the beauty of wood. However, I also get a great deal of visual satisfaction looking at my Gavia. I like the contrast of the black anodized alumin... 
Brinkman Balance Comparisons
Congratulations, Rick! I'm sure you'll be very happy with your new analog setup. 
What is bias a tube amp ? Is it difficult?
The Rogue M-150's I'm using hold bias very well. As others have mentioned biasing is really easy and not something that needs to be done very often. As I understand it, having a way to bias the tubes in the system can save you money in not necessa... 
Basis Vector vs...
HaHa! I tried the syringe thing but my hands got tired from pulling against the viscosity of the silicon oil. I found a way to sort of scoop up little wads at a time.If you get a Model 3 please post your impressions on the differences. 
Basis Vector vs...
Yes, Nutella, I remember that table. Very good setup for the money. There is without a doubt a very special synergy with the Vector and Basis tables. If it were me, I'd sell the table with the Vector since both are the older models. You should be ... 
Basis Vector vs...
Walkelin, I'm speaking of the oil in the bath of the Vector. The Basis manual just says something like "fill to the bottom of the small bearing" and that's it. Much like Graham's description of the dampening fluid level in the 2.2. If you remove f... 
Basis Vector vs...
I'm also a fan of the Vector tonearms, although I'm not using one now. From what I've heard about the Vector 3, I would have to agree with Tubes108. I think the cabling alone would be worth the upgrade over the model 1. Since you have a Teres I th... 
What does a vinyl record groove look like?
Truly a wonderful picture! Is there any way to get just as good of an orthogonal picture so we can see an example of importance of SRA?
