Mt10425.... The lamp is for use at home to verify I have done a thorough job of cleaning them and the solution off. I don,t buy too many used records from dealers. I buy them from several people I have known and trusted for decades who live in Can...

WHAT ! You mean you did not own a pair of Nagaoka Lp mitts to firmly stick those Lp,s in your hands ! And you call yourself fastidious. Shame on you Tvad. 
Are scratch LPs part of the game ?
I agree with you Tvad to a degree about being fastidious with most aspects of one's life and how they coralate. But you have to also realise for some that balance does not exist. I have a neighbor who does not maintain his property as well as most... 
Are scratch LPs part of the game ?
"Scratches are not inevitable if you develop a sound routine and practice it rigorously. Boring, but effective."Thats it in a nutshell. Accidents do happen but almost always when I don,t pay attention to what I,m doing and the routine that works. ... 
Are scratch LPs part of the game ?
Sunlight does show up flaws and dirt extremely well, hence the saying "in the light of day". However, a cheap floor lamp with a 100 to 150 watt Phillips Natural Light bulb does just as good a job and isn,t restricted to the day shift. I don,t bele...

Are scratch LPs part of the game ?
Thanks for your response Davt , I was wondering how it could be accepted as part of the game. I,m with you , I have 40 year old plus LP,s that are almost flawless under bright light. I clean mine right out of the sleeve new or used (and put them i... 
Whats the most you paid?
150 dollars plus 28 shipping (!) a few years back for a sealed first U K pressing of Pink Floyd dark side of the moon with the blue prism. I thought I was nuts after buying it but when I see what they go for now ... I guess I was (accidently) wise... 
Can you ever have too powerful amp for speakers?
I agree with Stanwal. Never enough clean watts when accompanied with High Current and quality built. Control of speaker and far less chance of distortion. Cheers 
Why did I get married?
That,s a problem that,s easily licked. Try licking the problem from 7 till 8.... then sit back and enjoy the music! Cheers. 
Speakers and glue......
Its not the glue it,s actually the wood expanding. If it was fastened with mechanical fasteners or even glued with polyurethane it would just crack and split at the joint or at the fastener. Dehumidify or aluminium cased speakers ? Cheers 
Aluminum wiring
Remove it! Do Not mix copper and aluminum. Even pigtailing is dangerous. The two different metals will corrode one another, arc then burn your house down. If you can afford to do so, remove it! Copper would certainly sound better with the peace of... 
Your First Vinyl Album.
Still have the first six albums I bought at the same time I bought my first turntable. Led Zeppelin I, Pink Floyd Piper at the Gates of Dawn, Moody Blues Days of Future passed, The Rolling Stones Beggars Banquet, Bob Dylan Blonde on Blonde, and Th... 
Recommend me a new PHONO stage.
A used Graham Slee Reflex Era Gold for just a tad over your 500. Awesome phono stage that many sell before they are fully burned in. They take a good 500 hours of constant power to get really going and should be left powered on always. There are o...
