Suspended vs. non suspended turntable
Posts like these are the very reason I read this forum. Excellent job, Dgarretson! 
Finding ultra-pure water locally...
Crem1, I went to pep boys and the battery water was $2.99 a gallon, not $4. Am I getting the right water? I should email you directly as I got the prefection steamer and am getting some spitting. Obviously, I'm very impressed by the results. 
New to vinyl again
Hey Dave, fair enough, I stand corrected. 
How often do you folks vacuum clean your albums?
Kitch, have you tried not using the carbon fiber brush? It's kind of like using a broom without a dust pan. Or play a few seconds of the record then swipe the record with the brush and replay to see the difference. It would really be best to do th...

How about this question... has anyone who bought an RCM after hand washing regretted their decision? All I hear is guys who didn't voting against something they've never tried. I would think not trying something instead of trying something is a se... 
Cartridge for VPI Scoutmaster Sig
A lot of it has to do with what speakers you are using. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Do you guys adjust vta on 180g records? I play mostly 120's so I adjust vta for the vast majority of my lp's 
Nitty Gritty Mini Pro 2 vs the competition
I have a VPI 16.5 and I use an extra cork mat to "lay" on top of the "dirty" mat so the cleaned side is always on a clean mat. An extra mat is $12. I also own a nitty gritty and I think the VPI does a bit better job. Works like a charm. 
Vinyl newbie - have a few questions
The speakers you have are a bit laid back in the midrange and are clean on the top but a hair bright. 
Best location setup of turntable
How do you guys feel about the mounting of a 'table on different surfaces depending on if it is suspended or not? 
Who LOVES their under $ 1000 table combination ?
Amandarae, you'll have to admit one has to be quite a DIY guy with knowledge and experience to proceed with your recommendation. 
Am I getting it all?
I agree with all, try an active preamp. All the passives I've heard sound like there is something missing from the music. 
Vinyl Virgin seeks additional advice
Hey Stringreen, the anti-skate on VPI 'tables is quite correct the way it is, very few are. On my kit it is easy to discern 1/8g differences in anti-skate, and the differences are important. On my kit, I helped dial in a friends deck and it was mi... 
educate me
Another GREAT post from dougdeacon! 
Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?
Does anyone have any experience with the highly distilled water from Whole Foods as a final rinse? I seem to remember a post about it but can't seem to find it.
