Static buildup issue?
I posted tonight. Problem solved. It was a cellphone back up radio connected to home alarm system. Located too close to the audio system.  
New vinyl quality....
Great post bdp24. Now I know what to look for in the shrink-wrap and MUST HAVE THE STICKER! Speaking of, tonight opened up a newly received Sly & The Family Stone, There's a Riot Going On. A 2007 reissue by Sundazed Music/Sony BMG. It is INCRE... 
New vinyl quality....
Fully agree. I recently purchased a Clearaudio vacuum cleaner and even some of those poor abused 1980's records sound incredibly good after a cleaning. Such a shame they can't get the overall quality of new vinyl to be better. But occasionally I d... 
New vinyl quality....
Wow. You are so right. It's a disgrace. Typical of the music industry. Just as soon as they get back on their feet selling more vinyl than ever the biggest player will kill it through greed and not caring. Will they ever learn???  
New vinyl quality....
Yep. Manufactured and Distributed by Universal Music Enterprises. Same thing?  
Possible turntable upgrade....
Thank you captain_winters. I am not familiar with Spiral Groove. Will check it out. However, I am trying to get away from that understated look. Since turning 50 I am starting to think of wood boxes in a less positive light! I want a turntable tha...

Thanks for the feedback Kinross  
Possible turntable upgrade....
Thanks millercarbon. For me, it is an emotional decision far more than a logical decision. My first system was the Linn (Basik/K9) with NAD amps, which in those days (in London) were the amp to have if you couldn't afford the Naims or the Quads, a...

Thank you Luxmancl38. You know exactly where I'm coming from. Sounds as though there will be no looking back. audioquest4life, your setup sounds impressive. Yes, in my post I specifically mentioned Transrotor. This is of great interest. One of the... 
Possible turntable upgrade....
Fair question Stingreen. It's not what I don't like, it's more about the fact that I have changed my entire system and wish to be open to seeing if a change would be the way to go. I really haven't even listened to it yet with the new preamp and s... 
Possible turntable upgrade....
Thank you guys. I'm getting the sense that there is a clear direction to go here. I'll look into all the recommendations. Mijostyn: Cartridge upgrade will be the final step. Not even considering options until later. Millercarbon: thanks for the re... 
Possible turntable upgrade....
Interesting. Thank you.  
Great guitar 'breaks" (as opposed to solos).
I gotta go with Ronnie Wood, The Faces, "Had me a real good time." The entire tune is a Ronnie Wood break!! From the 1st note til the last.... A great guitar line.  
Technology in speakers....
Thanks for your feedback james63.My post was more genuine interest in people's opinions. I've always been of the opinion that great products, well designed always stand the test of time. I actually really liked the Sonus Olympica 3's, to my surpri... 
Technology in speakers....
Thanks all. I'm picking up, in summary, that a 10k speaker today could likely best a significantly more expensive 10 year old design. However, a great speaker is a great speaker. It's still very much all about finding the qualities that each indiv...
