Record Store Day...
Moonguy...who told you that? I have actually seen this title and it's real and has been shipped out to dealers. Not sure how many, but it's out there. 
Why does the VPI motor thump
There is a small capacitor in the motor assembly. Either yours has burned out or isn't there or isn't large enough.Contact Mat at VPI and he'll send you the one you need.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?htech&1221786906 
Record Store Day...
"How'd you make out? "Since it isn't until Saturday (4/19/14), I don't know yet :-)I am going to a few stores in Denver just like the past 10 years. I made out really well last year, so hopefully this year will be kind to me also... 
Dynavector 20xH - Boring Presentation?
"I'm using a 4mm spacer under the tonearm, so VTA seems to be close to 98.5 degrees, so no issues there.This seems really high to me? SRA/VTA should be around 91-92 degrees for most cartridges. I would make sure that your measurements are correct....

T400 or t800
Sorry, I stand corrected... 
T400 or t800
Could you be a little more generic? Since a T400 & T800 could be almost any model from almost any manufacturer.I'm assuming you mean a Threshold T400/T800 amplifier? Same amp, more power. It would really depend if the speaker you're driving ne... 
What preamp should i buy
An Audio Research LS26 would be in your price range. For a little more money you could get a Audio Research Ref3. Either of these are excellent preamps.There are a lot of options in your price range, so I'm sure others will chime in. 
What is wrong with my Parasound HCA-1000?
Check the fuses. I've owned several amps that once the fuses blew, it still produced sound kinda like you are describing. Worth a look. 
SME 309 Headshell Postition
Robert, I'm sorry but the owner's manual is VERY specific on how to do this. Read numbered pictures 115, 116, 117, and 118. This tells you EXACTLY how to do it. Not sure why you're having trouble? 
"Looking Into You" A Tribute To Jackson Browne
Bwos...thanks for the info on the group Venice. I've never heard of them before. "For a Dancer", on this tribute album, is one of favorite. They do a wonderful job. I'll have to see what I can find from them. 
"Looking Into You" A Tribute To Jackson Browne
Peter,"Duets" was supposed to here today, but Amazon screwed up the pre order. Should be here tomorrow. I'll let you know how it is. 
Cartridge for Luxman P-102 linear turntable
That table uses a "p"-mount cartridge, so your options are going to be a little limited.Maybe try a Grado Green or an Audio Technica AT-311EP or a Shure M92E or an Ortofon OMP-10.IMHO, I would probably go with the Grado.

Contact Russ Knotts at:http://www.justrealmusic.com/He's a great guy and really knows electrostatic loudspeakers. He makes his own models.The rebuild/renew should run between $400-$600 or so. Just call him and discuss it.
