Artist you now like that you discovered through your streaming service
What is a streaming service? Sounds like a branch of urology. 
Ok guys
And you know what? I am man enough to admit Mike you are absolutely correct. I use the zerostat and so I know- it at best neutralizes charges while you're squeezing the handle. And I do mean "at best". There's times I've had a speck of dust on the... 
Playing Vinyl in a Cold Room
The mass of the elastomer is very low. It will revert to room temp very quickly. Alex just put ear muffs on it:) Made me go and check. OP bought a nude. How inconsiderate. Oh well, it'll warm up all the faster. My Koetsu has a nice big brick of ... 
Why the woofer moves badly when playing certain LPs
Mike I'm sure is right about the lathe and stuff. Yet more evidence to throw on the pile of reasons why with records you're better off buying old than new. Mine, for the record (heh) move hardly at all. But they do indeed move "a certain amount".

If you're going that way: below. Heat rises. 
Megadeth New Compilation
Yes well give yourself a big pat on the back. At least you noticed. Most of the poor schlubs around here haven't noticed Santana compresses the hell out of his, and he's been doing it a while now. 
Playing Vinyl in a Cold Room
Any idea how to solve this issue? Should I try to change my tonearm settings - to lower VTA or higher VTF? What you're hearing is a natural consequence of cartridge construction. The cantilever pivots on a donut shaped ring of elastomer. Like all... 
Why the woofer moves badly when playing certain LPs
Welcome starbusters to the whacky world of analog playback, where everyone has a theory and the laws of the universe believe it or not actually allow all the seemingly conflicting theories to be right. Is it right to leave the dust cover on? No. E... 
Synergistic Research GCT's?
Sorry, read your post again, thought you had ECT. Definitely get ECT. They work on everything (read my review) and each one has about the same magnitude effect as HFT or PHT. In other words just one is noticeable, a full set impressive. Don't wast... 
Synergistic Research GCT's?
I'm running multiple sets of PHT, ECT and a full room/speaker treatment of the HFTs. I've tried these things everywhere and even x-rayed and studied how they're built. About the only thing I don't know is what it is they put inside. Its different ... 
Finally bought a new Turntable!
Yes, that is my term for freebie patch cords....Basic Interconnects (is that so bad) Yes. The horror. Patch cords are bad. And to quote the great philosopher Huey Lewis, "Cool is the rule, but sometimes bad is bad." With patch cords, bad is bad. H... 
Speakers that reveal bad recordings? Not for me.
My second wife was hotter looking than my first but sex wasn’t as good. Not sure what this has to do with anything but it seems somehow related. Its all in the mind. As I said to my wife the other night, "What? You’re having trouble thinking of s... 
Synergistic Research Cable Risers?
I’m sure there is a big difference. But that’s comparing risers to floor. Ozzy is comparing risers to risers. Cable Elevators are already really good. Also, and I know this is gonna cause even more eye-rolling, but moving cables around does indeed... 
Finally bought a new Turntable!
Just basic interconnects at the moment.Perhaps with my system, no matter what TT I get, they will all sound similar. With "just basic interconnects" then yes, they will all sound similar. Please don't tell me "just basic interconnects" is your te...

Can you say, "Lowest Common Denominator"?  I knew that you could.
