Original Audible Illusions Modulus question
Thanks for the input guys. It sounds way better inverting the speaker leads. I really don't have a problem with replacing the tubes as often as has been indicated. I view it as normal maintenance like changing the oil in my car. I pulled the top a... 
Sytrofoam peanuts and EVIL and worthless
Another cool use for Gruv Glide. Just a bit on your hands and you can let those little buggers go. Hell, spray it all over the mess and they aren't charged no more! 
analog newbie question/vinyl weight
Elizabeth,A dealer friend gave me a "Hershey Kiss" piece of vinyl years ago. I don't really have any way to confirm this now but he told me it was a genuine piece of MFSL vinyl as they purchased it, ready for the stamping process. It does look exa... 
Does your favorite band suck? Scientific proof
I've just always used my superior psychic abilities. 
Linn Karik Question
The current crop of Linn CDP's weigh from 3.3 to 4.9 kg. Having been around the Karik and previously owning a Genki I would figure the 3.3 kg to be very close. That calculates to 7.26 pounds. Hope this helps. 
Dangers of Dryness
Fatparrot,Yeah, I sing the praises of high desert classic cars too. My '67 Nova was bead blasted inside and out an no trace of rust was found. I have the same complaints as you regarding vinyl playback but have a solution. I treat my LP's with Gru... 
Dangers of Dryness
Fatparrot,You are on the fortunate side of all the environmental choices. I was likely the poster you are referring to. Having lived with high humidity previously and now residing in the high desert of Idaho I can attest to the benfits of low humi... 
blue collar workers
Interesting question. My perspective is that blue collar is a frame of mind rather than a type of job. Consider this a compliment to most audiophiles: it doesn't seem to matter one whit. Love of music is a big equalizer.That being said, my life ha... 
what cover versions are better than the original
Santana did "Black Magic Woman" much better than Fleetwood Mac. 
My favorite local FM Station is using HD Radio ?
Fatparrot,I agree with every word you wrote about the dismal condition of radio today. There is a way to have extremely high quality local programming. It's called community radio and it's available to any locale. Here is a great example of the st... 
SDS suitability for 50-Hz motor Linn LP12
I don't have any particular experience with the Lingo other than through other systems. The AC backwash you speak of is NOT something I could hear in these systems that were considerably more revealing than my own. I'm not saying this doesn't happ... 
NEED HELP with older LP Jacket odor...
Ozone treatment will work. These box air filter systems may be rentable in some areas. You may also try an automobile detail shop as they sometimes own them for removing smoke odors from cars. You will need to have some space between the albums or... 
Is there a problem with setting VTF this way?
Knock me over with a feather again. I figured the arm to be a balance beam using the blue tack on the counterweight. If I'm reading Alberts post correctly then there is a 1/10 gram discrepency. 
Bob Dylan: What do you folks thing about this?
My local paper reported yesterday that Victoria's Secret has a Dylan CD, remixed with additional lyrics, etc. for sale unique to their stores. 
Classic rock album covers
Theduke,There were two versions of the Mom's Apple Pie cover. The first was without the black suits looking in the window. They were added after some hassle with authorities. The addition of a tear running down the woman's cheek was also added at ...
