When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better?
Thanks Greg!  I agree.  Keep them coming.   
Where do I set loading on my Manley Chinook?
After much trial and error, I'm back to 50pf and 47kohms.  Sounds the best.  Manley could do a better job with manual.

Yes.  I needed to use the exact size mini flathead screwdriver--2mm--to make the adjustment.  I have mine set very low, almost near it's lowest torque setting. I can see that it takes the record just a bit more time to get up to speed with this lo...

What a table!  It's nice to be in love again.   
New Technics SL 1200 GAE
 I was able to get the switch over to manual, and set the torque fairly low, hopefully about 20% or 1/5 of its maximum.  The sound certainly has more air yet  I am still listening and fiddling.

I'm pretty handy but was surprised To find out that I had to use the exact size mini screwdriver as specified by the manual, 2 mm

@billstevenson and @audiofun I, too, own this marevlous piece of engineering.  It sounds wonderful in addition to being way better built than many tables out there, especially in its price range.  It's a rock. Here's my question--When I went to ad...

Where do I set loading on my Manley Chinook?
Okay, I made a change. I kept no. 1/Cart Cap at 50pFI moved no. 2/Resistor to 159 ohms, because the Dynavector site says the 20XH DC Resistance is "150 ohms". It sounds more lush, yet I've been confused before.  Does this seem right?

I would love to here that too, lancelock.  I thought those were only available overseas or are difficult to nab.  The only real problem with this piece is I could buy a bunch of carts and have them set up perfectly in separate headshells and just ... 
Audiogon Site Pop-Ups
I am having the same issue!  It is awful. I don't watch or surf the site on my iphone because of it. Such a shame.  
Anyone own or heard of PrimaLuna?
I own the Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP. I love it. Here are my Pros and Cons.Pros: Excellent build quality matches sound quality--it’s built like a tank. Autobiasing circuits make entering and staying in the tube world much easier, and better sou... 
Bookshelf Speaker Recommendations
Kef ls50s?  They'd like the power from the Parasound. I have a pair pair resting on an inexpensive wood disc from Herbie's that elevates the front just a touch (like 15 degrees), and that sits on top of a glass topped media center in a similarly s...

Help with MC Cartridge Recommendation to Swap from Ortofon 2M Black MM
I bought a used Dynavector 20xh Soundsmith retip here on Audiogon for $360.  But, I haven't been able to use it as my Roksan Radius mk1 table is out of commission. I bought a used Origin Live Aurora mk1 for $750, yet it's not here yet.  I'll follo...
