Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again
SA5.1 is v nice sounding. 
Had an epiphany, what would happen when all of you die?
And audiophiles will have inputs installed directly into the auditory cortex and so I n a way there will be no “audio”Philes.

Music won’t go away. Ways to enjoy it will be different. Maybe the connoisseurs will have different obsessions. Tubes will rule after a nuclear apocalypse. 
The best TT system for under 30K
For what little it's worth, my advice to the OP has nothing to do with analog vs digital.  For whatever source, the best way to figure out what you want from your audio system and how to get there is to take time enough to evaluate what you have a... 
Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed!
Larry, I am empathetic with you regarding your wobble.  The G series have been on sale now for about 4-5 years, in their various versions.  If Yogiboy's reference to Youtube is to your turntable, then we have two reports of this same problem occur... 
Ever wanted to know, what your phono cartridge sounds like dead flat??
Without either accepting or doubting your premise, I thought the premise of the OP's post has to do with RIAA. Period. 
The best TT system for under 30K
Uwiikz, Your system is “evolving” at a rate only seen in science fiction movies. In those movies, the mutation rate is also high, resulting in some sort of monster that then has to be dealt with by the good guys. I agree with Raul and several othe... 
Morch DP-8 arm on a Helix Two turntable
Thanks for the clarification, Dover.

Too much anti-skate can be just as damaging as too little antiskate. And because the skating force is varying across the surface of an LP at any given moment, finding a setting for anti skate that is just about right, like the temperature of the p... 
Rebuilder of Drnon Dp59L’s
The most expert person I know of is JP Jones of Fidelis Analog, on the internet.  JP specializes in Technics SP10 Mk2 and Mk3 but has worked on several others of the best vintage DD turntables.  If it were me, and if I had a defective DP59L, I wou... 
Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed!
Mijo, Sorry to pick on you.  But your (belt-drive, suspended) bias was showing. Do you suppose that stuff like this never happens with your favored brand? Probably it does not, I would guess, because they sell way fewer turntables compared to Tech... 
Technics 1200 MK2 vs Technics SL-1210GR
What jbrrp1 wrote is telling. A new Cosmos costs many times more than a new GR. 
Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed!
The Crutchfield representative you spoke to is merely making excuses for his company as opposed to Technics. Yes, this is probably a factory defect that escaped quality control, but no, it has to be extremely uncommon. The Technics  1200 G series ... 
Koetsu Rosewood Sig or other Koetsu on medium mass arms
I'm sorry, oh great one, but I still don't know who Mark Baker is, in the sense that I should need to care about his opinion.  Much of what you say he says is much like what I wrote about the uncertainties of the calculation for any private end us... 
Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed!
That turntable is damaged, probably in shipment.  You should have zero visible platter wobble in any new turntable, let alone a quality product like that.
