Turntable Tonearm Lift Issue
It sounds as if you have the anti-skating set high enough that it is causing the arm to slide on the arm lift as it is lowered. On many turntables, setting the anti-skating as specified in the manual is too much. 
Anti-Skate dial-How to set it? + a bonus question
A cartridge's ability to track correctly depends on a number of things, however the range of acceptable VTF is very small. To set the VTF at "what seems like a light force" is madness. There may be legitimate reason to change VTF to suit a particu... 
Genuine Basement tapes
Locating a copy of the 5-CD set may be difficult. It's a bootleg. 
Optical to digital coax converter
This may be a stupid question, but do you have a digital input on your audio gear? It sounds as if you have a digital optical to digital coax converter, so you would still need to plug into a digital input. 
Can I Degauss my vinyl ?
How is it that vinyl can become "magnetized"?. Static electricity can be a problem, but I fail to see how a record becomes magnetized. Sounds like voodoo to me!! 
Jelco 750D and Denon Cartridge Compatability?
I am using the DL-160 on the 750D with the stock headshell with damping. I think it sounds great, but now I'm getting a little paranoid about it. Maybe I should be using a lighter headshell. I did use a lighter headshell with the V15VXMR. 
First home theater. HELP
I am using the Yamaha RX-V657. I upgraded from a cheap Sherwood 5.1 to get the DTS and the auto-level adjustment. I think they both sounded OK. The Yamaha sounds better, but then I'm not super critical about home theater sound. I was surprised to ... 
Does anyone know what song this is?
Gotta be Miles, but don't have a clue on the title. 
First home theater. HELP
D'ohhh!I hadn't even considered the possibility of a preamp without a manual volume pot on the unit itself. If there is no way to return to a specific volume level on the Meitner, that would indeed complicate matters. On the other hand, depending ... 
First home theater. HELP
"That would be the ideal arrangement (using pre-out signals from the receiver), EXCEPT for the problem of not being able to easily return to a specific volume setting on the Meitner." - AlI have not found this to be a problem. As I said, I simply ... 
First home theater. HELP
Hi Frogman. I have integrated my two channel system with a modest surround system by using a 5.1 receiver with preamp outputs. I hooked the left/right front preamp outs from the receiver into a line level input on my 2-channel preamp. When setting... 
incorporate 2 channel amp into multichannel system
Yep, Edorr is correct. My bad for attempting a quickie response. The 12:00 setting has worked for me with my Yamaha receiver and the three different active preamps I have used in my 2-channel setup. The Creek is a much different animal. Not only d... 
incorporate 2 channel amp into multichannel system
I'm not familiar with how an HT Bypass works, but you can do what you want by getting a home theater receiver with preamp outputs. Then hook the preamp outs for the L&R mains on the receiver into a line input on the Creek. Hook your center and... 
GroOove Lube. Does it work?
I would stay away from ANY product that may leave a residue on the record. 
Best Live Album Ever...
A lot of good ones mentioned. I'll add Poco's Deliverin'.
