Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told!
Yes, I would consider doing it but not until I have Studer or Otari reel to reel. With my current Nakamichi 682zx cassette deck - no. It's a great cassette deck and I use only Maxell Vertex tape but it is still a cassette deck, it cannot compete w... 
Which to upgrade first: Turntable or Phono Preamp
You guys stop pushing this Herron/PS Audio/whatever you got on every occasion. Your credibility suffer. There are many phono stages under $3k, especially if used is acceptable but even if only new. You don't even know the rest of the man's system ... 
Which to upgrade first: Turntable or Phono Preamp
If your plans are to upgrade everything soon enough, just do it step by step one at a time, then I would start with the table. If you want to do only one upgrade then phono stage. 
Power regenerator vs conditioner
Ralph, I see, thank you. PS Audio has a good trade-in approach. I can get $1.5K for my Premier if I buy $5k regenerator, so it would be $3.5k for me.

I want Stromtank and I want it now. I mean right now ! 
Technics moving all turntable production to Malaysia
We must not "resign ourselves to globalization", especially when it takes unhealthy forms. This is not realism but defeatist position.It's impossible to avoid made in China products completely unless you buy nothing or only vintage stuff. 
ARE WILSON AUDIO WATT PUPPY 8 FOR 6 GRAND A GOOD DEAL?
Why do you hesitate ?Agree with you on Magico and horns.Speakers that can't rock, or in my case can't jazzrock, are not speakers, as you said. 
Power regenerator vs conditioner
Now those German things look serious and they use safe chemistry for batteries. $30K ? That's almost nothing, some of us buy cartridges for $15k, cables for $25K and records for $600 or more.Additional way to manage the current is to buy equipment... 
Jazz for aficionados
Orpheus10, thank you. All three excellent, the first one is very unusual.

Not necessarily. I could get couple of those records, put them on tape and then sell them. Unless, of course, I didn't send them back for refund. I wouldn't do it. So resale value does matter to me. 
Jazz for aficionados
Would someone post something that I might actually like, please ?Some weird Scandinavian jazz or Brazilian extravaganza perhaps ?Or maybe Mongolian funk or jazzrock ? Something, you know. 
Power regenerator vs conditioner
For $18k custom batteries that would power the entire system would be preferable. Anyone takes this kind of order ? But there are no perfect solutions, batteries would give some noise too and dynamics might be compromised a little. I mean great cu...

Japanese might be losing their way and become like anybody else. Now that's bad, if I am right, regardless of whether or not you like who they are, as you perceive it. I wouldn't want made in the US Rolex either.  
Power regenerator vs conditioner
I use PS Audio older Power Plant Premier. I have Purist power cord from the wall to it and better Purist from the regenerator to power amp. Still, sound quality varies dramatically depending on how bad the incoming current is. If I plug the amp di... 
Most rooms don’t need acoustical treatment.
geof3, you are right, I reread the original statement.
