I gently pull towards me on the ME after my cart slowly lowers onto it. Once between every record LP side is sufficent.

OMG!! Were all going to die!! 
Warped records please advise
I remember when that was a problem for me. Not a problem anymore with my VPI HRX turntable with the periphery ring. This very heavy piece of milled aluminum flattens the mosts stubbornly warped records. There are less expensive turntables that als... 
Mr. Clean - Erase`
I have been using the Magic Eraser to clean my Lyra Titan for about three months now. I have ceased looking for a replacement cartridge. My Titan is about three years old and has approx 1300-1500 hours. Still sounds great, I am thinking I can get ... 
Best CHEAP long under-carpet speaker cable
Kennyt, I think you are first required to perform this test. Fill the bath tub with water. Take your shoes and socks off. Stand in water filled tub. Now place one of the speaker cable ends in your mouth. Next firmly grasp the other cable in your m...

I would like to try something for the ceiling. Anyone know of any easy methods for application? Don't want to break my back you know. 
Does a good sounding surge protector exist?
I am using the APC to bridge the gap with power fluctuations. Mainly brownouts that occur during peak usage, generally in the mid to late afternoon during hot summer months. It is working well thus far, as it is very hot and humid in Metro Detroit...

Does a good sounding surge protector exist?
I own a APC S20 with battery back up. I don't notice any limiting of dynamics. I actually love the unit. I think it smokes the Hydra 8 that did indeed limit dynamics in my system.

Is the moscode 600 a great amplifier?
I was auditioning a pair of speakers and heard the Moscode head to head with the Van Alstine hybrid amp. The Van Alstine smoked it.

Beware of the Gemini. 
is VPI's new "Super Platter" a worthwhile upgrade?
The price is a bit cost prohibitive, I'll give you that. When you measure that against the performance improvement, you will soon forget about the cost.I was fortunate enough to find one steeply discounted, here on Audiogon 
is VPI's new "Super Platter" a worthwhile upgrade?
I kid you not, the new Super Platter is a smash success. I have heard so many people criticize Harry for the cost of the upgrade. I for one am grateful that he came up with the new platter. It smokes the original. Many highend companies improve th...
