VPI HW-17 - Questions and Expectations
I agree with the insight that Mr. Deacon has shared above. Doug has always been an excellent source of knowledge and experience on vinyl in many forums. A few years ago I purchased a used VPI 16.5 that came with three vacuum wands and three brushe... 
Regional Climate Effect On Speakers
Actually.....yes. You may turn the temp up to 82 or so, but you leave it running to control humidity. Don't want any mold growing which is a general health issue down here. 
Next upgrade?
OL makes one and there are other ones that turn up produced in the past. For the OL versioncheck here. 
Next upgrade?
I also have the OL Aurora Mk2 and used to have a OL Silver (Mk1) on it for a few years. At that time I was using a Sumiko Blackbird cartridge since I only have the MM input on my VAC Standard LE. I found this to be an excellent combination. I subs... 
I think I need an audio repeater - need simplicity
There is a wireless rf receiver you acquire from Logitech in addition to the harmony remote. The actual receiver sends ir signals so if it can be placed in line with the equipment no wires are needed. If not there are wires that plug into the rece...

Rack/shelf for albums - suggestions please
Expidit is a great way to go. Use a little wood glue on both ends of the shelf wood pegs when you assemble the shelf unit and the collapse you see on some Internet pictures will not happen. 
2nd system
The 3020 is a great piece (had one from 1989 to 2002). It can be a little soft in the region you describe but usually more laid back than bloated. One issue now could be it's age (if it has not been recently serviced) and the need to update some c... 
Cartridges that work best on an OL Encounter MK3C?
I have been using an Encounter Mk3c on my OL turntable for the past year. During this time I have used different cartridges on the arm and it performed well with each one (all were of appropriate mass and compliance). I have moved up to and presen...

I have the OL Encounter Mk3c that was an upgrade in my system from an original OL Silver. I am presently using it on an OL table with a Benz Ebony cartridge. When I upgraded from the Silver to the Encounter I was using my Sumiko Blackbird and the ... 
Tube Burn-in Process: Psvane
Expect the full burn in to be at least 100 hours. It is a true odyssey of good to bad to good during that time. 
Help Finding Balanced Tube Preamp with HT Bypass..
Some if not all the VAC pre amps that have the HT bypass will pass the signal while not powered on. 
Turntable Basics in St Paul
