What area or country do you live in ?
They all sound like nice places but they’re not New Orleans! NOLA here. 
No right channel in new cartridge
When this occurred with my Blackbird cartridge my thought when at the dealer was that if it wasn’t covered by the warranty I was going to cut my losses. At the time I was told that if Sumiko wouldn’t cover it that what they’ve seen in the past is ... 
No right channel in new cartridge
@tochsii I bought a new Sumiko Blackbird from my dealer this past summer. A HO one, if that matters. They mounted it on a new tt I had also purchased. I had it for 2 months then one night the right channel went out. It was playing, I was home alon... 
What’s wrong with Diana Krall?
Can’t imagine why it’s always the same people posting all the time.  
Marvin Gaye "What's Goin' On" MFSL UDOS 45rpm
Bill Evans and Santana you can find on eBay but they are expensive.  
Marvin Gaye "What's Goin' On" MFSL UDOS 45rpm
@slaw I have both of those one step pressings and neither one is one sided. Also The Bill Evans album, Sunday at the The Village Vanguard. Also not singled sided. I don’t have Santana’s  Abraxas. They sell out very quickly. But none that I’m aware... 
Greatest debut album
I can’t argue with The Doors, (though I listened to them all through HS and debated whether Jim was really dead) or Led Zeppelin I ( that can never be a wrong answer), same with The Band The Big Pink ( recently purchased the 45 RPM version). But j... 
Marvin Gaye "What's Goin' On" MFSL UDOS 45rpm
I have a number of the MOFI Ultradisc One Step Pressings by MFSL, none of them are one sided. I do have Something Else-Canonnball Adderly and a John Coltrane album that are 45 rpm and one one sided but the one step pressings are not one sided. I p...

The Grateful Dead. What a long strange trip it’s been. 
Insider or Outsider? To be or not to be,...?
$100 isn’t going to break me but I am tired of being nickeled and dimed to death with everything now a days. Cable TV, satellite tv, internet, hula, Netflix, AT&T, pandora, Tidal, MLB, NFL, NHL, Adobe Creative Cloud, PS4, XBox, Amazon Prime, C... 
When to replace preamp tubes?
Yes, elevick and gs5556, that’s why I posed the question. They rarely blow and if I’m hearing noise that I can isolate to an individual tube, I’ll replace it. But tubes do degrade. Over time the degradation isn’t obvious. I wanted to hear what oth... 
How do you store and catalog your vinyl?
I catalog my music, vinyl, cds, sacd, DVD’s on an Excel spreadsheet on my laptop and then download it to my phone. That way I have it with me when I’m buying new vinyl. Prior to doing that I was repurchasing albums I already owned. I list them alp... 
Vinyl Cleaning
This is the best record cleaner I’ve used. Trouble is I don’t know where to get it. I came across it at work (hospital), decided to give it a try on vinyl. AFLs FCC2 Enhanced Formula, fiber optic connector cleaner and preparation fluid. Optical qu... 
Vinyl cleaning thoughts on FCC2
So it works and it works well. It does not leave any residue. On their website it states that but I wanted to see and hear for myself. If anything it works too well. On a few albums after placing it on a cloth or brush and going over the album wit...
