| DIY Flexi First attempt. Geez, Dave, I've got my table on an 1 1/2" thick maple shelves flexy rack and it sounds 'crazy good':_)I do have to be careful walking up to it, tho. I'd prefer to have it on my former set-up on a Target Pro wall shelf but can't where I now live.I... | |

| How often do you folks vacuum clean your albums? Me too. The MF is a felt pad, not a brush. Before and after looks with the flashlight show about 80% of the light-reflecting specs gone after a 'felting'.Funny thing, tho', almost nothing accumulates on the stylus. Where does all that schmutz go? | |
| How often do you folks vacuum clean your albums? I clean with a 1 hp shop-vac, a slot in the crevice tool surrounded by paint pad. First RRL super deep and then super wash for a rinse. Dry enough to play after a few revolutions. Into a new plastic lined paper sleeve.Does a great job, lots quiete... | |
| How often do you folks vacuum clean your albums? Let me see if I've got this right: you spend $600 on a record cleaner and have to clean the records in the sink before using it? | |

| Leveling your turntable, your approach? David, you are one dedicated tablesmith. I don't like round levels; use one of those 4" line levels for framing. Place it along the path 'tween spindle and stylus. Level there is all that matters, I've seen too many platters that are level there b... | |
| S.M.E. 10 owners Imagine you have it level but what about lateral balance adjustment?Did you buy it used? The other thing it might be, altho' I'm familiar only with the cueing of 3000 series, is a worn support. On older SME arms the support wears/gets slippery. Cl... | |

| Cat owner wants speakers More feline behaviorism.In addition to all the above, cats are opportunists. They will scratch at whatever is available when the mood strikes them as well as their favorites. That's why speakers get scratched despite trainig.My solution is placing... | |
| Best Cartridges for the Money You've Experienced Raul, thanks for the reply. I missed that mention. Not familiar with the Tribute. I ask because the last ten years I've only used MCs: Talisman Virtuoso, DV 10x5, 47 McBee and now Benz Ace Low. The McBee was killer but a review sample now gone. Ha... | |
| Best Cartridges for the Money You've Experienced Curious as to why Raul doesn't seem to have tried any Grados? | |
