VTF gauge
mc hit it on the head. Any Gauge will do you just make a stand for it that puts it at the level of the record. Just place the stand at the platter's edge with the gauge on top. I would use a small block of wood planed down to thickness. If you do ... 
Looking for a good speaker for my metal shop.
treblebob, I use an old pair of Mirage tower speakers in my shop. As long as you keep the grill cloths on they will be fine. Do not bother with any fancy veneers. Just a good utilitarian speaker that can go reasonably loud. Old Advents would be pe... 
Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars
I find the situation odd and this may be my own preference but IMHO (sorry to disappoint you steakster) it is unlikely that any Wilson loudspeaker can come close to matching the tall Sound Labs speakers for detail, transient response and phasing. ... 
Lets talk dedicated lines
I got you beat mc. I have my own isolation transformer on the street. The electric company forced me to have that wart on my front lawn because they were worried my workshop would dim everyone else's lights. However the reverse is also true, I am ... 
Wiring question : amp-sub-speakers
They are just capacitors. They will roll of the bass at 6 dB/oct. You would hook them up in series with your main speakers. The value depends on the impedance of your speaker at the cross over point. You can find charts on the net which will give ...

Old vs. new
Taz is right. buying LPs is a hit or miss proposition and it always has been. I have some incredible reissues and some pretty crappy ones but if I like the music I'll listen to the crappy ones anyway. There are many other good points here. Many of... 
JVC Glass Turntable Platter
Elliot, just remember that at the inside of the disc you want to set the antiskate so that the arm drifts ever so slowly towards the spindle. I prefer the test record approach but this is close enough for most people.The glass anti skate mat is a ... 
Ok guys
stani? When you put on hearing protectors does your head rumble and your tongue vibrate?Lewm, tell me your system is in a clean room. That would be a $250,000 upgrade. Records that have dust ground into them do not sound so hot.A dust cover has to... 
Ok guys
Mc, silly you clean the brush off between plays. Once in a blue moon I'll clean the brush with alcohol. It won't smear anything and it will keep any incidental dust away from the stylus. The sweep arm is only 20 bucks. Spend some money and experim... 
Ok guys
Lewm, I also own an SME and it benefits also as does the Linn LP 12All suspended turntables. I suspect the Air Force 1, 2 and 3 will also benefit. My opinion is based on suspended turntables. They are the only type of table I have ever own except ... 
Ok guys
Mc,  https://www.sleevecityusa.com/Antistatic-Record-Cleaning-Arm-p/tac-01.htm. If you get one let me know there are a few tricks to setting it up right. Guys, as I said before the SOTA sounds better with its dust cover on and down as does the SM... 
Need advice
Nakamichi only. Frankly I think you are out of your mind. The only reason I ever had a Cassette deck was to record tapes for the car otherwise other program sources sound much better either vinyl or digital. By Music! 
What other Hobbies or Interests Do You Have?
Jay, go out and get yourself a Honda CB1100 and stop worrying about it. You'll be fine. Get to the gym.The Turbo S is faster than anyone needs in a street car. The PDK transmission is sort of bland in street use. The C4S is more fun on the street.... 
Ok guys
Not using a dust cover is a sure way to destroy your records but it is great for the record cleaning industry. I never clean my records. Don't have to.As for sound that depends on the turntable and the dust cover. This may be the reason there are ...
