Turntable Leveling, Again
If the readings are non-level in the center and level on the edges is there any possibility that the piece of wood is slightly warped?

CDP question?
I just recently acquired a Cary 303/200 for around that price used and I love it. It gives just enough detail and is moderately warm and quite musical. Plus it is truly feature laden, with user selectable upsampling, HDCD, RCA and XLR audio output... 
Personal amp evolution
Well I forgot to update my response since I've evolved some more. Went from an Air Tight ATM1 to a pair of Cary 300B Signature monoblocs and I love 'em!

What other obsessions do you have?
Wine, fine cognac and armagnac. Baseball and college basketball. 
Congratulations to Marco

What's your favorite lyric from a song?

Very cool story, thanks Slap! 
What did your first "real" system consist of?
Wellmy first system wasn't until about 1998, I was 28, and consisted of a Rega Planet cd player, a Bryston B-60 integrated amp, and Definitive Technology floorstanding speakers, I forget the model but they were not bi-polar. Shortly after putting ...
