Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told!
unreceivedogma,I was actually poking on how old the technologies are, just like the writer of that article was ("...it’s still interesting to witness a hundred year-old technology come back from near extinction.")As for the statistics, it shows up... 
Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment.
"My room settings are now so good that all my 7 headphones are not on the level of the room on any count..."Time to buy better headphones? 
SoundSmith cartridges how good?
I have the lowest-priced (Otello) and would buy it again.I assume that more expensive ones would be incrementally better so, if in the market for it, I would not hesitate to pick any in my price range and, hopefully, call it  a day. I have no expe... 
Experience With Linear Tracking Turntables
I own Mitsubishi LT-30. All 15 kg of it.Having said that, belt became goo and, maybe, it will be replaced at some point. If I can clean the mess it left there.As far as simplicity goes, it is not simple. Not just a motor, belt (or no belt), platte... 
Best stands so baby doesn't knock speaker over
You will never childproof anything. Your best reasonable bet is not to have standmounts for a couple of years. It is mostly because children knock them over when running or something like that. 
Amplifier brand/designer with the most unique and consistent “house sound?”
SONY. Not only amplifiers over decades, but other items, too. Very strange. To me, at least. 
The Lifespan of an LP?
I have a CD that was.....recalled (yes, you read it correctly). Years later, it still plays just fine.

"If anything, this cements my adherence to CDs..."You are so oldfashioned and inefficient.CDs are so 20th century.(records are so 19th) 
Does Anyone Use a Portable CD Player as Their Source?
SONY D-421SP.I used it for some time via Line Out a couple of years ago. It served the purpose, but results were nothing to write home about.Another issue is egonomics. Small buttons, no remote (virtually never), hanging at the end of connecting c... 
Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told!
It is all possible, but would you really consider doing it that way? 
Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told!
"...to put a laser hologram on the vinyl so subsequent buyers know it is genuine then resale values will grow..."As an idea it seems good, but...Once you order from Better Records you have some reassurance/faith that the record is likely good. Onc... 
Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told!
millercarbon,Just take the compliment in stride and with some humor instead of constantly being aggressive as a defense. You wrote another very decent and reasonable post on another thread today. I started responding to it and then thought you wou... 
Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told!
I am getting sad. Nobody wants to compare my White Hot Stamper to their own. Someone must be familiar with it. It sold 2 000 000 copies in the U.S.A. alone. 
Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment.
"my rooms have furniture and clutter."Why do you assume that my room is cluttered?(It is not) 
What is the most analytical sounding amplifier that you have heard?
I am not disputing that at all, I have never heard it.I am puzzled that the reason for it was quoted as "Mark Levinson" and yet, there seems to be no Mark Levinson in sight. I even linked to the liner notes of that album. What happened?"Okay. So o...
