Dump Your 401K, Invest in records
My son asked me just a couple of days ago, why I don't sell some of my records, (I have a huge collection, although not as big as the one in the article).I told him that I was planning on leaving them to him and that would be his retirement fund.H... 
Dynavector 505 to replace modded Incognito RB300.
While the Incognito Rega RB300 is an excellent arm, it's not in the same league as the DV505. IMHO a major upgrade. 
Magnepan 1.7 Tweeter issue ...
Yeah...check the fuse and/or the jumper to make sure it is tight. You might even need to unscrew and pull off the back plate to be sure the wire is still connected inside. They use just a simple push-on connection that might have vibrated loose. 
cartridge plays the radio
AFAIK, the Anticable interconnects aren't shielded. That's probably what is causing the problem. Try switching to any type of shielded cable to see.From the website: "double shielded option is available for use with turntables or extra RFI/EMI pro... 
Looking for a new band?
I agree about Feedbands. I am also a member and so far the (3) LPs that I have received are quite good.

Speaker advice redux?
Harbeth, if you really have the budget. 
Listening chair suggestions
Ekornes or if you have money an Eames. 
mirage speaker connections
Take a razor blade or thin flat screwdriver and pop out the black plugs. The EU made speaker makers block those holes because consumers were putting the AC power cords into those holes. Really, I'm not making this up. Google "EU bans banana plugs". 
Lyra Delos and Soundsmith
Jonathan...I had sent you several e-mails but have never heard back from you? I'm hoping that maybe you will see this.I have a Delos that has about 200-250 hours on it and the suspension has collapsed. What can I do about this? It is tracking at 1... 
Olive customer service
Al...thanks again sir! I have found much help on the AVS forum (they have an 84 page topic on the Olive units), but still don't have a solution that I feel comfortable doing.Unfortunately, Olive uses the Linux operating system and I am inept on th... 
Olive customer service
Al...thanks as usual for your response. Yes, I have the latest software (4.3.2) and the latest firmware (3.0).I bought my 04HD about a year and a half ago and bought at the same time a brand new LaCie (Porsche Design) 2TB external drive to back it... 
Olive customer service
I have a myriad of small, little weird problems, (and a MAJOR one, in that I can't do a back up) with my 04HD and Olive support has blown me off apparently. I have sent numerous e-mails and haven't received a reply back in over a month.Olive servi... 
Quality of Analogue Productions pressings
I guess I must be luckier than you. I have probably 50-60 Analogue Production LPs and out of those, 12 or so have been done at QRP. The copies I have are excellent. I do NOT have any of the Norah Jones reissues from QRP, (I have so many from every...
