Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners
frogman,Completely agree with your point about rotating the tonearm assembly. Since Brad’s table and arm was already setup when he bought it and knowing that he had removed the joint as part of his cleaning process, I thought it prudent to recomme... 
When Money Is No Object -- You Buy Bose?
About 15 years ago, I attended an executive seminar on a "new way" to seamlessly integrate marketing/branding with product development in a long-term enterprise strategy. The facilitator used the Bose team’s previously completed "strategically-int... 
Missing shipment
My 15 year-old neighborhood has still not been assigned a "regular" mail carrier by our local Postmaster. I never know what will happen on any given day. When they are good, they are really good. When they are bad, their lack of process discipline...

Consider yourself lucky to have that alignment gauge, Brad. I never had one and had to get creative to set the trajectory. Re: the queuing problem, did you get the joint pushed back on the spindle far enough?Dave

anyone ever moddify a PROCEED AVP?
I had that Proceed years ago and it is indeed a very good 2-channel analog preamp. Second to none is quite a stretch.Dave 
Tekton Double Impacts
I’m betting on a new DAC next from Exogal. Should be something as the current one is pretty darn good.Dave

That’s great Brad! When you get it re-assembled, make sure the stylus is tracking directly straight down the imaginary centerline aligned with the platter’s bearing spindle (not to the left or right of the centerline or even slightly diagonal) and... 
Your advice to speakers designers
I thought that Doug's post had the ring of truth; much like the ring that cracked the Liberty Bell must have sounded.Dave 
Oppo UDP - 205
Nice comeback milpai. :) The reviewer lost me toward the end when he was discussing how his Meridian processor did not have Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD decoding. Best Buy stuff has had that for, what, 10 years now? No wonder he was blown away...Dave
