What time do you wear?
I have the 3714 01 also. Steel case, white dial, gold numbers and hands. Its my favourite watch. 
VPI 16.5 Problem
My unit has a grinding noise as it rotates, quite irritating, is this normal and if not does anyone know how to fix it? 
What time do you wear?
yes, the Zenith Chronomaster is nice and low key, not as "over the top" as their other models, eg Defy Extreme. I think you need to look like Arnold Schwarznegger to wear that one! 
cartridge to use with linn & shindo
I third the EMT/ A23 SUT combo. The JSD5 works very well with my Shindo pre. 
Blue Note reissues
Actusreus: I agree completely, I've noticed the buzzing sound on quite a few Bluenote cheapo reissues as well, but no problems on the older copies that I have. I guess the free CDs are only available to the Canadian market, but the lousy quality L... 
Blue Note reissues
Actusreus, I think I'm the only one that agrees with you in this thread. I notice the distortion mainly in the cheap re-issues that sell for about $13 here in Canada. The ones with the free CD are also terrible, not only is there an imprint of the... 
Shindo Monbrison balance issue?
Fudgeo you don't mention what type of amp you have? I have a Shindo amp as well and my dealer told me to have the amp's volume at the 12 O'clock position. As a result I have no issues with my Shindo Auriege's volume control. 
Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II
That article was such a tease! I can't wait to read the final results. If the new, full out Nantais can beat the Forsell and make Arthur say its the best he's ever heard, that's quite something as he's a hypercritical and fussy reviewer. 
What time do you wear?
I picked up a fun watch as an impulse the other day, a Tissot Trekker with an orange face. Its pretty cool and gets most guys who are into gadgets oooohhhing when they play with it. It has 6 functions including barometric pressure, thermometer, al... 
New favorite VINYL Album?
Fightingwords: I second the Do Make Say Think. They just played (what is rumoured to be their last concert for a long time) here in their hometown, Toronto last week. I'm kinda kicking myself for missing it. They are definitely one of my favourite... 
Why do mint-looking LPs sometimes play poorly?
Jaybo, can you please clarify what you mean by "poor storage conditions"? 
Any Zorn fans?
Wow, that Yamataka Eye is some crazy stuff. 
New favorite VINYL Album?
Sufjan Stevens - The BQE. 
moerch armboard spec
Yes, that's correct. Good luck finding a 2o mm drill bit. I lucked out because my buddy lent me his. He happened to buy a Moerch arm a few months before me and spent a few days going to various tool suppliers before he found one that was suitable. 
Morch Moerch UP4 or DP6
To close the loop, I just picked up a DP6. Hope to have it installed by next week.
