Learn about the Well Tempered Turntable
I couldn't bring these up Anthony, anyone else have trouble. Thanks for posting though. 
The Band: S/T and/or Music from the Big Pink
Thanks- Just listened to my Big Pink. It's a Capital dark Purple/burgundy label.Serial SKAO 2955. It sounds better than I had remembered, but my stereo has changed a bit too. The LP has a heavier feel, I bet it's an earlier pressing but of course ... 
Pro-ject Xtension 10 vs. VPI Prime vs. Amadeus
I think $3,800 with tonearm is a reasonably priced rig. It's tough with analog. I have heard opinions on VPI Classic vs. Amadeus, and one dealer who had experience with VPI, Nottingham, and WTL. Its hard to draw a conclusion, because there's so ma... 
Pro-ject Xtension 10 vs. VPI Prime vs. Amadeus
Do you feel you have played enough with Damping (golf ball) cup, and VTA. Not trying to second guess, but it does makea difference, as you are likely aware of. 
Recommend Shielded Phono IC for WT Simplex
I'm not the most technical person, but not sure if the Simplex would be to blame. If you're picking up hum, and it's an issue of the phono cable not having enough shielding, wouldn't there be a hum issue with other tables. Are you using an unshiel... 
Which phono preamps among these three?
"I one time listened to Plinius M16P preamp with phono. That phono was exceptionally good. Much better than the phono card that came with BAT VK30. So, I would not mind going for a full function preamp with phono if the phono section is at least a...

Is selling your line stage, and going with a full function preamp an option?

Darstar1, where did you pick up The Dead- Cornell LP set? 
Views on Acoustic Signature Tables
05-31-15: Wattsperchannel"Thanks Photon. One concern I have is that it just doesn't seam like many people in the USA own the higher level Acoustic Signature models. I am wondering if that is due to limited USA distribution or something else. The r... 
Well Tempered V's VPI Super Scout Master Sign
I had an Amadeus, as well as a GTA. I decided to sell my second system, and sold my Amadeus. The GTA remains in my my main system. I won't waste time commenting on the experiences of others, so I will focus on my own. I have changed just 1 belt in... 
Brinkman Spyder review- anyone hear it?
Lewm- Yes, nothing changed except the Spyder inserted in place of the Bardo. 
Brinkmann vs TW Acustic
I listened to the Brinkmann recently. I've started thinking about the Raven, so I thought why not revive this thread. I would consider the Raven GT, which I believe is priced in the same ballpark as a Spyder. This was certainly a long thread, but ... 
Brinkman Spyder review- anyone hear it?
I heard subtle spatial cues with the Spyder, that I did not with the Bardo. Hiho- that's fair to say, yes. That' how I heard it anyway. 
Go buy Paul Simon's "1 trick pony"
Definitely a great sounding LP. Was quite a nice surprise, after picking it up used last year. 
Brinkman Spyder review- anyone hear it?
The Bardo is a nice table, just not my cup o' tea.
