How a turntable is like a gym membership
The purpose of confession is to maintain the sin. Of course, it's good.I like compilations too, that's what I have Nakamichi deck for. And I try to use the very best tapes. In fact, when I make a copy from digital source, it sounds a little better... 
LAST Record Preservative - Application Techniques
I don't really have a reluctance to use proven things, that's why I asked you specifically about Last. But I would be suspicious of 'new and improved better than anything else' cleaning solutions.Ebm, what do you hope to accomplish? First, when we... 
Best speaker in the US $ 30-45.000,00 range
He is not asking how to spend his money.Well, I was close - you may need to increase it to $55k. 
LAST Record Preservative - Application Techniques
Hi.I see. I of course want to have clean records but even more important for me is safety to the vinyl. There are records that would be very difficult and expensive to replace. I would prefer to use only distilled water, but that's not good enough.

Karma 16, do you use Last products for cleaning records too? 
how do you determine anti-skate settings?
Just set everything by ear with some reservations for VTF; you don't want to be too far outside the specified range. What seems to be the problem?

Opinions please re: the MM cartridges on Mus. Hall
Aside from your point, it would be interesting to hear your impressions if you put Dyna on Music Hall and Goldring on VPI. Some people put Goldrings, like 1042, on quite expensive arms/tables; and some just don't accept MCs at all. Personally, I d... 
Help me pick a phono preamp
Denon 160 is $200 new cartridge? And you want to get a $2000($1000 used) phono stage? Sim LP 5.3 would be great but what a waist. 
Help me pick a phono preamp
There are so many choices for under 1k used. But I think, and you said it, that the first step is to decide whether to go all tube or not, or it depends. You will hear different opinions. I myself do not deal with tubes in phono preamps at this pr... 
Help me pick a phono preamp
Do you also consider replacing the cartridge and adding a record mat, something like Boston Audio Mat 1 or Achromat? 
How long do you wait for a check to clear
Almost each time I hear something bad regarding various issues, it is Chase. 
How long do you wait for a check to clear
I heard that 12 business days is recommended, not 7 or 10, but 12. 
why do some turntables have multiple tonearms?
It is actually a great idea to have two different arms/cartridges for different music. Or three. Though expensive, it is in fact much cheaper than amassing thousands of records that you never or almost never listen because you have no time to. Unl...
