Store LPs outside of Jacket??
One of the main reasons LP jackets show wear is beacuse people CRAM them on to the shelves. I always try to show "V" of about 2-3 inches in middle of the shelf group. I've also had albums for many years without using outer slevves which show virtu... 
Best Budget interconnect cables for cd to preamp
Vampire wire CCCII. 1 meter of continuous cast copper cables runs about $57.00. Call Sound Connections. I may even have a spare set for a bit less, email me if you want. 
Songs about ecology
How about the Ecology Song by Stephen Stiils? 
ZYX cartridges
Doug Deacon also has much experience with ZYX carts. I hope he chimes in. He and Mehran both helped me when I bought my R100H. 
Leon Russell
I'm a huge Leon fan. Some of his best work was with Delaney & Bonnie, give a listen to "Motel Shot". Otherwise, "Carney" & "Leon Live" rate my favorites. 
Steve Winwood Nine Lives lp
Easily one of the best 4-5 I bought this year. 
A/V power conditioner under $200
I use both an APC H15 and a Brickwall PWR2AUD. The APC is in my HT system and the Brickwall is in my analog system. Both work effectively in their applications. Tvad is correct regarding the Brickwall, although I notice a slightly clearer sound th... 
John Mellencamp "Life,Death,Love....."
Just ordered it from J&R. 
Sansui 2050
There's always the Shure M97XE at about $80. And yes, depending on other system factors, your table may indeed work best with a better cart. My cart cost about double my TT. Sometimes it works out that way. However, there are many less expensive c... 
power conditioners for digital
My highest recommendation goes to the PS Audio UPC 200. It effectively made my vintage analog system sound COMPLETLY digital. Can't ask for much more than that. 
Best Glue for LP cover seams?
I second the glue stick. I have to buy a pack every year for my children as part of their school supplies. I've been using one for years and it works well 95% of the time (a few times needed a second application). 
Unipivot vs Linear Tracking
I even prefer my more modest linear tracking setup (LT-30 w/ zyx cart) than the Linn LP-12 I used before it. Setup is far easier and get a much more enjoyable sound. It's all there, detail, bass, sound staging, imaging and very intmate vocals. I c... 
Where to buy vinyl?
I just bought 7 LPs from J&R World and Amazon has both new and used vinyl now. These two are both less expensive than those listed by Rushton (although the selections are MUCH greater through the above three places). Hopefully more competition... 
lps sound bad
Sometimes...it's simply the performance and the music. 
The best hifi magazine?
I'm also on the HiFi+ bus. HiFi News is on my list, mostly because of KK, but I also like the conciseness of the reviews. It's good to see this posted here instead of AA where the arrogant JA & JM would have already come to the defense of the ...
