Full range stand mounted speakers
There is no such thing as a full range stand mount loudspeaker. They all need subwoofers for the best performance and our cat is scared to death of them.  Don't sell your Golden Ears. You can train the cats to stay away from them. You place these... 
LP Thickness/Taper
Every record is different depending on the flatness of the shellac master. What does it mean? Absolutely nothing. The geometry of the groove depends entirely on the orientation of the cutting head. It stays perfectly vertical regardless of the thi... 
mint best tractor gone?
@wrm57  Until you get a tangential tracker that is.   @rauliruegas  Don't worry, I here the difference but I think it is psychological:-) We are looking into using boron for the wand!  
mint best tractor gone?
@lewm  Take That! @rauliruegas  Good for Mint! Ask for Lofgren B! Does it sound better?  Most of us, it not all of us could not reliably tell the deference. But, Lofgren B has provably lower distortion over most of the record. What we hear is t...

Oppo UHP 205 Universal Player
@drlou77  I always have this itch to get the latest and greatest.  The Reavon is midway between the UDP 800 and 900 in terms of audio performance. Reavon and Magnetar are essentially the same company.  I have to have a universal player as I have ...
