Harvey Mandel Question
Did you know this fellow "auditioned" for the Stones around the time "Black and Blue" was released? May even have made the final cut if not for a guy named "Woody". 
battling the pops and clicks
I have been listening to vinyl for 40 years now. The imperfections u describe are real. Your cleaning regimen is anal-nothing more needs to be done. I dare say you're going too far! Records simply sound better than Cds. That's the beginning, and e... 
Sweet Neo-Con
I have followed the Stones since I'm 6. I'm gonna be 46. I gave up on them as has-beens around my college years thinking "Tattoo You" was their last fine effort. I just heard the advance on their new single, "Rough Justice". I was wrong.

What is the Meadowlark house sound?
Responses suggest Meadowlark went under. What gives? I've heard nothing.Always liked Kestrals. 
Is it me? Comments on the Rega Mira integrated.
I think the Rega Brio is the best kept secret in hifi. The phono stage alone, which is a built-in card, is worth the price of the piece. 
Skylan Stands & Speaker Art - Hidden Secrets?
I agree the Skylan stand is good, but the manufacturer was not at all amenable to creating a custom top-plate that was smaller to fit my speaker. My experience was that if u want the 2 column design, u are stuck w/ a fairly large top-plate of 7X8 ... 
Cables for Meadowlark Audio Kestral 2 speakers....
Your speakers (which I own) are easy to drive and easy to like. I've used Signal, Nordost, homemade, Naim. All work/sound great. 
Signal Cable or Transparent ?
Signal really good. Buy-you get satisfaction guarantee, I believe. 
Any experiences with Margules tube amps/preamps
I have experience. I like the sound. I do not like the quality control. Just my opinion. 
Best bookshelf speaker reccomendations?
Spendor 3/5 or 3/1 P. Beautiful music, not hi-fi. You'll have trouble listening to anything else, unless you need hyper detail in which case the Spendor is not for you. 
Efficient speakers for my 2A3's........
Omega TS-1 (the upgraded version). Tell Louis, Glenn sent ya. You'll love working with Louis. Solid guy, beautiful product. 
Most underated albums......
Any early Lindisfarne or Alan Hull record. Brilliant song-writing, brilliant playing. How about Odyssey and Oracle by the Zombies? 
Linn LP12 Black Felt Mat How do you keep it on ?
I've owned three (3) lp-12's over the last 20 years. I can count on one hand the number of times the felt mat stuck to the record. Also, I agree with the guy that likes the felt mat better. It is. One in every crowd!
