There is no approval time for this thread, but I could been less rude for sure.

Cylinderking_1 - Um, duh. 
Best device for adjusting cartridge overhang.
I really like the Wallytractor and have kept it after I sold my TT rig. When I get another TT, it will be really nice to have. They are easier and more precise than anything else I have used. I think the price just went up ($150?), which is pretty...

Its called feedback. If everything is playing okay, surely you are in the clear. Except for maybe your ears :), any damage is going to be acute. 
Hi end audio who cares
"Why do you have water hoses running into your electronics?" I almost choked to death with my Buffalo Wings in my mouth!That is about the funniest thing I've read on this site. 
Rega P3 Not Level
Assuming the feet are flush to the table, I am not surprised. Even more expensive TTs need some adjustment when they are placed on level shelves. Happy New Year, Agent Double-O 193.

Next upgrade for vinyl rookie
How big of difference would swapping out tables be compared to a OL arm upgrade?Do you not know that the stock 250 is already better than the P2? Sell the arm with the table (b/c it won't sell without it), and maybe keep your accessories depending...

What are the "Must have" LP's?
The Doors were really well recorded, and good for showing off the ol' system. 
Speaker break in period
The change in tonal balance during break-in is significant to the abilities of the speaker, but break-in is more a of reality for some speakers than others. 
OL Taper discontinued vs. OL Silver ?
Cool. When in doubt, spend more.

How Often Do You Listen To Live Music??
Its a great time for Dallas' local music. We went to the clubs quite a bit this past year, and you can see us there this Friday :) I would love to go to Bass Hall for some symphony, but just haven't found the right time.
