I finally get it!
You can always widen the hole a little so you can move the arm in the right direction then tighten it down. 
Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive
thuchan, that is a hypothesis that nobody has ever proven, it just seems nice intellectually. The greatest turntable of all time was belt drive with one motor. Everyone who owns a turntable needs to see this brilliant video.  https://www.youtube.... 
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?

Seasoning your sound with powercords
b_limo I am speechless.

Raul, don't believe me. I'm just a peasant. Do google the human cochlea,organ of corti and the physiology of human hearing. Neurons and all of our sensors are neither off or on. They are always somewhere in between. Off is dead. There is less acti... 
Your thoughts on upgrading Feickert protractor
Just use trammel points. Dead accurate, dirt cheap. You can draw big circles with them also for when you want to play twister. 
Magico M9 The new 'norm' in speakers
Andy, I think you are undercutting it by at least $500K. IMHO there is no loudspeaker worth $750,000 and certainly no system worth 1.5 mil. Maybe I'm just not rich enough. I can understand $250,000 for a system which is about what my ultimate drea... 
Will this amp trick work for increasing bass performance?
This is a nice problem to have. Get the XA60.8 on top and a pair of JC1+ amps on the bottom. If they are anything like the old JC1 they will have a damping factor in the thousands and plenty of power Fabulous bass. Better than any Pass amp I have ... 
Pairing a sub with A/D/S L1290s
I had a pair of early Velodynes. `I thought the accelerometer on the cone was a cool idea. In 10 years the surrounds rotted. I use one of them as an end table. Au_lait, I would not plan on doing anything until you can do two subwoofers. One never ... 
Recommendations for electronic crossover.
God idea. At best having to bridge an amp is poor planning. I think the best posts her on the subject of biamping  are by mijostyn and avanti1960. If you are making your own speakers and want to approach the problem of a 2 or 3 way system that way...

Raul, where did you get a binary concept of human hearing? Inside the cochlea is an arrangement of ciliated cells that are set up very much like piano strings. When sound comes along at their intended frequency they release impulses that fire off ... 
Time for a (reasonably priced) phono preamp...
I'll put my vote in for the Parasound. They always make a high value product. 
How to divide up your budget in building a 2-Channel HiFi system
Mv, I think it depends on the way you plan on approaching this endeavor. Some people want to buy a system and get it over with. But, I think most of us plan on approaching this in an evolutionary fashion building a system over time as finances all...
