why can't I make a digital recording of a DVD?
Hudsonhawk, you were right- I had it set to dolby digital and when changed it to PCM, was able to make the digital recording. Awesome! Thanks for the tip.

Thanks everyone! I guess I'll try an analog copy first and see how it sounds. Like Rwwear, the purpose of the copy is to listen to it on CD in my car- it's a concert video. What's so frustrating is that the owner's manual of the CDR says that unde...

Any good vinyl shops in Orlando?
jaybo, good recommendation on rock and roll heaven! A bit pricey, but a HUGE selection and the condition was impressive. Unfortunately my wife and her friend were along (they wanted to go to the mall- and this little detour was only mildly tolerat... 
Am waiting for a well tempered classic turntable
you'll love it. down the road you may want to think about having the arm rewired direct to the interconnects, removing the terminal block. Nice upgrade. Agree with hifiharv to definitely take your time with the setup. Would recommend a test record...

Spanish Guitar music
Carlos Montoya- Recital. One of my favorites. Very rhythmic, raw, passionate, and virtuoso guitar! Another good one on CD (although not spanish- lebanese I think) is Strunz and Farah- Americas. 
Problem with NAD 533
Does it have a ground wire that might be missing or not connected? 
Please help me I am in trouble with my new table..
don't worry about it. I did the same thing on my well tempered classic and was freaking out also. I stripped the wire, dipped it in flux and soldered the new clip on. no big deal. took all of 2 minutes. If you decide to do it yourself, buy a decen... 
What are the best sounding outdoor speakers?
I'm normally not a big fan of BOSE speakers, but my wife's folks bought me some BOSE 251 speakers for a gift about a year ago, and they sound awesome! These are much better than the boston's and altec lansing's that I have heard in comparison. One...

Here's a link to another post that mentions the same problem. http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1101531954&read&keyw&zzwell+temperedI have a WT classic and don't have the issue. I used a WT protractor for cart alignment... 
where can I get an analog to digital transfer
I would start with simply making a CD recording from the LP. I use a Yamaha CDR 0651 standalone CD burner attached to my amplifier. Using a dynavector DV20x cartridge (high output) I get exceptional recording quality from a clean LP. If there are ... 
Setting up the cartridge--Tips/techniques
invest in a digital scale to set the tracking force so there's no guesswork. VTF is critical to sound and preserving your stylus and records. VTA can be set and tweaked by ear. 
Well Tempered Labs out of business?
I've also not had any luck at getting through to Stanalog with either e-mails or phone calls. I did order some WT items a few months ago (belt, protractor, etc.) from their website which was very quick and responsive. The items arrived within days... 
Exteme Phono Turntable Mat
I have the extreme phone standard mat and am looking to compare it/replace it with the herbies mat. I've enjoyed the sound of the extreme mat for the most part, but have not enjoyed the residue it's left on some of my records. (I figured out quick...
