Koetsu Rosewood - Best/safest way to clean stylus
The other thing I like about the Woody Allen metaphor is he's the uber anti-audiophile. All his movies are in mono. Sound quality it seems is the one thing he does not worry about. 
Replacing Maxon motor in a Teres Verus
Cool. Interesting to know how the new pod goes.

I was worried about my stylus, thought it could just be dirty but what if its something much worse? So I went to see my doctor. Doctor told me I have a slight hearing loss in my uber-hypochondria.Oh no wait, that was Hannah and Her Sisters. Neverm... 
Ugh....dropped the stylus on the platter
Look closely at your arm lift. Many are adjustable, both for vertical height as well as horizontally, where they start lifting and where they allow the arm to go lower into the arm rest. What you want to do is adjust the lift so it will lower onto...

Phone pre needed. Information overloaded
What you want is the EAR 834P. One just sold on Audiomart for $850. Mellow high end, good bass, and one of the top contenders for quite some time now. Look how fast that one sold! Two days! Good luck!

Hum when phono stage is turned ON. Popping, crackling after playing record for few mins
Try plugging the phono stage into the same outlet as the receiver. Better yet plug into the receiver if it has outlets. Grounding the table may or may not help. Tracking down hum is a process.Static, right. Grounding doesn't really help. Humidity ...

Here, hear! But let's not forget that malted barley can also be roasted, sparged, fermented and bottled into a tasty carbonated ale! No distillation necessary!

Ribeye, asparagus, green beans, chopped salad with dried cherries and blue cheese. Should I open the cheap (but 92 points tasty!) Spanish Red, Chianti Classico, or the Kirkland or Dunham Cabernet? I know the Dunham will probably be the best, but i... 
Installation of new AC lines......best way to ground to avoid loops and noise
Right jea48. That's why I said it may or may not be better.Right jsautter except unfortunately you have to slog through 43 pages to get to page 44 where finally they show what I clearly explained in far fewer words: plugging connected components i...
