Turntable Leveling, Again
Try using a "bulls-eye" level. This has a clear dome showing the level for the entire 360 degree range instantaneously , and will make leveling a shelf (or a turntable) MUCH easier! 
My favorite local FM Station is using HD Radio ?
Squawk! Fatparrot is out of the loop! SQUAWK! Herman, thanks for the heads-up. After reading about "HD-Radio", it appears to be a marketing ploy to lull gullible consumers into purchasing "the next digital frontier". SUCKERS!THERE IS NO QUANTUM LE... 
My favorite local FM Station is using HD Radio ?
Is this a joke???? Maybe I'm out of the loop, but I've never heard of "HI-Def" BROADCAST FM, just the new (and supposedly, sonically inferior) satellite digital radio systems, X-FM and Sirus, I believe. Sounds like your station is pulling a market... 
Hi-Def DVD Players
Unclejeff, glad to know that my "effort" was appreciated! Actually, copy & paste made this post almost no effort at all! I like watching the new audio/video technology emerging, and observing reasons that competing or innovative technology fai... 
Phase Inversion
There is an interesting book called "The Wood Effect" (sorry, but I've forgotten the author). This is a rather detailed book that cites many studies and tech papers (with lots of footnotes) regarding 180 degree phase inversion. According to this b...

I would certainly consider analog tape for recording an analog (vinyl) source! 
enough watts to drive these speakers? Help?
Bombaywalla, I understand where you got the 6 dB figure (voltage), which can throw confusion into the mix, depending on whether we are talking about voltage, or power readings. But I thought that actual acoustic sound waves (spl) were a measure of... 
What am I looking for with strobe disc?
A hit of acid? 
enough watts to drive these speakers? Help?
Bombaywalla, wouldn't moving back from 1 meter to 2 meters result in a 3 dB loss, not a 6 dB loss? 
Shipping a CD player? Where is the Transit Screw?
Porschecab, NO S**T! I cross threaded a spark plug on a Honda 350 myself!!! Was on a road trip in Key West way back in '73, and decided to pull & clean the plugs...AT DUSK. I couldn't really see, and when one started in tight, I just kept cran...

Best tube preamp with phono stage and mono switch?
Just curious, why the need for a mono switch? 
Shipping a CD player? Where is the Transit Screw?
STOP!!! Do not start tightening or loosening any allens UNTIL you make sure that these, are indeed, the transport screws. Keep calling Wadia, or a local Wadia dealer. Sometimes, the information about transport screws is printed on a sheet of paper...
