Loricraft PRC, multiple-step cleaning and static
are you doing L'Art du Son first and then the Enzyme cleaner? if so, try the Enzyme cleaner first and L'Art du Son second. are you using new staic resistant sleeves after your cleanings? I have used the Walker system (with 2 rinses) on the same ma... 
Tom Evans Speakers
I auditioned a pair for a few weeks last year, comparing them to a pair of 13k Meadowlark Blue Herron 2's. They are outstanding speakers and like all of Tom's work, very intelligent and balanced. They held their own with the Meadowlarks with a rel... 
The difinitive recording of AJA
Audiofeil- have you ever played and compared one of Tom Port's hot stampers, or you just that all-knowing?Mapman- 400 x 10 minutes to clean each copy, say 15 minutes of play time for each per copy to compare times maybe a 1000 spins total to narro... 
Gruv Glide
if they have a shelf life, how do they react with the vinyl as the chemical properties of the gg decays? 
Gruv Glide

Tubes Through Solid State
Dan ed, I have all Tom Evans electronics. SS phono stage and pre and tube monoblock amps. He, as a high end designer and manufacture certainly favors mixing the two. And I certainly appreciates his work. 
RCM recommendations
The Loricraft is a fine machine. and they are quiet. 
The difinitive recording of AJA
Dramapsycho, my pleasure. Tom Port, the owner of Better Records, is very knowledgeable and opinionated. He is also controversial. There is a lot to read there. The records can be very expensive, and many here would never spend hundreds of dollars ... 
The sound of glasswear
my set up has a ss pre and a tube amp. i think the ss lends itself to more accuracy and less distortion when placed closer to the source. 
The difinitive recording of AJA
if you can afford it, go to tom ports site http://www.dccblowout.com/he sold me an amazing copy of aja (as well as all of the dan's portfolio). there is no comparison. he has also found great copies of supertramp.get on there and read his discript... 
What CDP gets really close to vinyl?
I would argue that you just don’t have the quality of software with cd's (or sacd’s) in comparison to (original) vinyl. No machine can make great sound out of questionable source material. 
stepped attenuators
my tom evans vibe pre-amp has one and i love the precision, and the confidence of signal at low volumes. like your burson, the only other switch on the unit is the source selector. Tom even put the power switch several feet away on the power supply. 
Loudspeakers - how best to prolong their lifetime?
i keep my Meadowlark Blue herron 2's covered with blankets when not in use to keep the light off of them and curious hands at bay as well. 
Room correction altering soundstage
is it possible that the processor has reversed the phase?
