Does it really get any better than the Raven AC ??
Emailists,It sounds like your table should be set up pretty well now!I'm curious, though. What was not optimum in your set up that needed tweaking? What parameters were changed and by how much? What differences did you hear after the changes?Thanks! 
Zerostat 3 - Does it really work?
Moisten the back part of your hand and aim the gun at it from an inch away. You should feel a cool stream of air as you slowly pull and release the trigger. 
What's up with the 'Piano' gloss????
I'm putting a piano black finish on a wood compenent case right now (I have primer dust on myself as I type). Cde is absolutely right. I'm not even spraying color yet. I've been sanding and priming for days. The smoother you get the finish the mor...

I think it's important, Jj, but we do already have vacuum platters, reflex clamps, ring clamps, and concave platters to help with warps.

It's generally accepted that a constant, steady platter speed will produce the most accurate reproduction. Above, Chris stated that a high mass platter will produce speed variances of low magnitude and long duration, and that light platters will p... 
How to remove a 'press fit' steel ball bearing?
Nghiep beat me to it. If Kwillisjr came back and said that the ball was worn, I was going to recommend resurfacing it in a similar manner. I just used 600 up to 2000 grit sandpaper to polish the end of my Delphi's motor armature/bearing to an kill... 
How to remove a 'press fit' steel ball bearing?
Elizabeth understands the situation, the others don't. This is not a bearing assembly where there are a number of steel balls in a race. This is a single steel ball pressed into a shaft.Usually, the thrust bearing is made from a softer material, s...

Ghosthouse,If accessibility and cost weren't a factor, what would you use? 
Record cleaner
This thread and many others that I have read indicate that distilled water is not what should be used.

Dgarretson,Dougdeacon is completely right about the profile of the motor pulley being slightly bulged in the center. While my Delphi uses a belt, the convex profile of the pulley keeps the belt perfectly centered. It never touches the flanges abov... 
Are there any quality Phish recordings?
I have hundreds of Phish recordings and like different ones for different reasons. I tend to like the audience recordings best because they sound more like the concerts did than anything. I find that the soundboard recordings sound very little lik... 
Want to Start vinyl
Don't listen to the haters!I consistently go to record shops and come out with a pile of records. With one or two rare LPs in the mix the cost still averages out to about $10.00 per LP. That's cheaper than CD. If you go to thrift stores the averag...
