| "Can You Lift Yours?" My Bottlehead DH/SET 2A3 mono blocks weigh approx. 12 pounds each. However, accessing them (bottom shelf of a rack located in a hallway linen closet) is not an easy task for me. My pilot SA-232 clocks in @ around 20 pounds as did my old Mac 30 m... | |
| Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters Ruins the Song ‘Money’! Love threads like this as they expose cretins posting under different monikers than they do at other sites. DeKay | |

| Cloth vs paper surround Forgot to mention that I purchased the "dope" used locally from a shop on Ventura BLVD in North Hollywood. The guy I dealt with reminded me of a creepy character from a John Connolly/Charlie Parker novel (assume that they are no longer in busines... | |
| $300-$500 Cartridge for Thorens TD-1601 Turntable The MP-200 (based upon reviews and your list). I use Grado Prestige Silver with my vintage Thorens TD125II/SME combo (love it), but the Nagaoka would not involve remounting a cartridge body when replacing the stylus. I prefer a harmonically rich... | |

| Making a CD from a cassette I live in West Hollywood (Los Angeles) and there are gobs of local Pro T/F services. Should be the same for NYC. 2 hours of VHS T/F here is approx. $40 and cassette T/F runs around $20 (per unit). If you know someone local in the film/music ind... | |
| Making a CD from a cassette For a one-off I would use a well reviewed pro service. Your query reminded me that I have VHS tapes (8MM film T/F'd to VHS 30+ years ago) that need to be T/F'd to DVD and memory stick. DeKay | |

| Cloth vs paper surround What specific speaker/driver? From my experience with vintage drivers (late 50's to mid 70's) paper surrounds survive and cloth surrounds get stiffer with age - changing the sound. This said, I've never replaced the surrounds though I did try tr... | |

| Scary white substance on Polyethylene Sleeves Maybe a thin outside/exterior dusting of ??? to control sticking during the manufacturing process (like cellulite added to pre-shredded cheese and mold release used when pressing records)? Perhaps a reaction between your wallpapers and the Poly... |
