Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told!
Probably wish this one had gone ignored, but it did not. This is the Tea for the Tillerman that is according to bdp24, "beyond any question superior to any and all other pressings":https://ontherecord.co/2018/04/29/this-is-your-idea-of-analog-2/I’... 
Clean AC power
Heh. Good one. What I'm talkin' bout. Perfectly simple thing anyone can undertake with a little common sense. Instead of, "You can do it, just pay attention and be careful" we get a 500 word horror story.   Reminds me of when I was a kid learning ... 
How to isolate turntable from footstep shake or vibration
antigrunge2, Pretty sure you agree with me completely: Listen and learn. The point I was making is not that any old thing will make a fine arm board. The point is anyone can try these things very simply and quickly - listen and learn - as long as ... 
Vintage vs New
True vintage wine will kill anything new but you have to go way back to prior to 1965 and buy the impossibly expensive French wine of that era and when you do you will not want to drink anything else. FIFY. 
two problems with turntable
The lead idea was logical seeing as how it happened. Think of the odds, the phono stage goes out right when the cartridge pin is changed. Switching the leads the signal did not follow the lead so it can't be that. Has to be either the phono stage ... 
Clean AC power
vgizzi- Who would have thought that cleaning a circuit breaker’s contacts would be so dangerous? Should I move my family to a hotel until the problem can be fixed? A little background and perspective on the zeitgeist here. Couple years ago when I ... 
New edition of Harley's guide on the way
$45 is cheap. A bargain. A stone bargain.   Think of it, just to read that book cover to cover is many hours of solid reading. Just reading. Not even studying. A lot of what's in there deserves serious study. His chapter on listening, how he expla... 
It was working before I took it apart
You checked all the wire clearances which is the most likely cause. Besides not touching anything are you sure about torque? VPI uses wire torque to get anti-skate, so there is the possibility of wire twisting being part of the problem.    Have yo... 
I’m also worried about how much of the harmonics in the music is LOST by the amp?
The sort of fine detail you are talking about is lost everywhere. From the panel through the power supplies, from the platter to the phono stage, from the amp through the crossovers and internal wires and speaker cabinet and drivers. Every tiny li...

Actually all I'm saying is you're stealing the guys trademark, calling your records hot stampers. They're not.  
Better Records White Hot Stampers: Now the Story Can Be Told!
No offense, but you're conflating a trademarked and graded product "Hot Stamper" with records you have that sound good. I have been down this road, and all I can say, if you really do have copies that good you would be selling like Tom, because th... 
Subwoofer connection conundrum
Not getting the attitude. I am not the one pretended to be talking about unpronounceable technology. Class D, yeah that is indeed a mouthful. Thanks for clearing that up. 
Speakers as the principle component/other components are servants
What do you mean, "one day"? 
Single vs. Dual Subs
"Seems" and "is" are two very different things, for sure when it comes to subs. Duke makes his Swarm with plugs enabling you to convert one or more ported subs to sealed. After studying the matter and talking with Duke mine were made with two port...

The book is in its seventh edition. Books that don't sell do not get to seven editions. Ever.
