| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! In progress. So far, so good.In this shootout (is that what it is called?), we quickly discarded one Italian and one U.S.A. copy as they were obviously inferior. German near mint appearing and White Hot Stamper are in rotation. | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! mahgister,It is all silly, but around here we make an elephant out of the fly. We often lose compass and forget that matters discussed here are not life-or-death. In my view, it should be simple and unimportant fun, not anything more than that. So... | |

"Don't forget to thoroughly clean the copies you already have, to put them on a level playing field."Houston, we have a problem.Not much in a way of cleaning machines/equipment.

| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! There was/is a business card (at least it looks and feels like that) and it says A+++, A+++. Does that qualify as a tagger?Grooves look impressive. I can see the depth of the lows and edginess of the highs. However, that is only with a magnifying ... | |
| Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told! For starters, it is not a poster.I assumed it was a price tag. Like millercarbon's record that still had price tag from Sam Goody. | |

| Here is all my gear. What's the best combo? I would keep Dual 709, NAD 3020, add some speakers from late 1970s, and use that system only for music recorded then. Assuming the cartridge is Shure and same vintage. | |
| Straight out of the box doesn't work. As unfortunate as it may be, it is not the end of the world or you.Similar things have been known to happen. I am not sure is it only with tube equipment."Well Bryant at the factory packed my Blackhawk out with defective tubes and when I fired it ... | |
