I know that the 32, 42 and 42.5 preamps are what you refer to as half size. The .5 designation meant that the preamp allowed the use of a Hicap power supply. Without this designation you either relied on the amps power supply or Snaps power supply... 
In over my head.
The Linn Classic movie system may be the easy answer. The problem is that you need either a very generous and knowledgeable person to explain the modules and options so you can buy used or a dealer. Buying new from a dealer will probably far excee... 
Restoring vinyl ?
Like trying to unspread a rumor and unscrambling and egg. Not likely.I did read a members post about placing a 1/2" thick piece of glass on a record to eventually remove a slight warp. That might work but I don't know.There was a thread recently a... 
Purchasing used lps on Audiogon
I've only had wonderful experiences buying vinyl from the audiogon community. One member in particular (jimbo3, I think) even sent me my order before I got the check in the mail AND all the vinyl was like new. I've also traded vinyl with Twl and w... 
Any AudiogoNers Winston Cup fans?
Slipknot,I live close to Davey Hamilton's home track. It's actually only about 10 miles from my house. Many of my friends are circle track participants and they have been great help with my NHRA car. I don't follow NASCAR because there just isn't ...

Changing the spped on an Linn Lp12
Sorry, I wrote before I thought this through. The 45 rpm pulley slips over the existing pulley. Please don't try to pull the 33 rpm pulley off! 
Home brew vinyl & stylus cleaning fluids?
The striking paper on a book of matches works well for cleaning a stylus. 
Is 2 channel dead?
It's dead. Honest. Send me all your gear. 
Changing the spped on an Linn Lp12
If you don't have a Lingo you will need to pull the pulley off the motor and replace it with the other pulley. 
My question is about bi or triamping.

Giving up on Power Race, and going SET?
Tom,The pushrods aren't really the problem at rpm. It's the spring pressure that makes them flex. In this type of motor (and mine as well) we use a rev kit which is just too cool. You use a lighter spring on the valve and beneath the cylinder head... 
Giving up on Power Race, and going SET?
Tom,I have an acquaintence that runs a 69 Camaro Z28 that runs in one of the NHRA Stock classes. He pulls 12,500 rpm shift points. If you consider the favorable stroke/rod angle with a small displacement small block as compared to the huge stroke ... 
MC demagnetizer, how many use one, any concerns?
Albert, Do you realize that I need to buy one of these things now? I trust you. I'd hate to think that I've been missing a lot through the years. Which one does the job for the least outlay? 
Giving up on Power Race, and going SET?
Albert, Too cool! Let's see, a 9,000 rpm small block chevy in a 1650 lb. car. Hmmm, assuming it could keep the tires planted on the pavement, I would guess about a 10 second flat quarter mile at around 135 mph and top speed? Big time fast....180+?...
