Ultimate Idler Drive
Before anyone runs out the door with $36,000 (thirty-six THOUSAND DOLLARS) to purchase an idler wheel turntable, please consider a LENCO L 75.It is an idler wheel drive. Fantastic high end table which a mere mortal can afford. Almost seems sinful,...

DIY Vinyl Racks
Dude, Do yourself a favor and get the Ikea Expidit- cheap, look great, lots easier than rolling your own, and they are perfect LP shelves. Don't tell Ikea. 
No escrow?
Lots of pendejos make transactions on this site using paypal. You have some, SOME, protection. Like the other pendejos said above, check feedback, get a phone # and call the seller, get a feeling for the pendejos you are dealing with. Escrow has b... 
The disappearing $500 turntable
Here's my best shot for excellence in vinyl playback for $500 range:Lenco L 75 on eBay. If you are lucky, you might find one for under $300. Easy to tear apart and bring it to perfection, mechanically (see lencolovers.com for instructions). Build ...

Removing odor from LP jackets, liners, etc

Living Voice Avatars VS Devore Super 8s
Mikey, Your choices are identical to the ones I considered for my 30 watt, tube amps- Joule Stargates. Unfortunately, I have not had the opportunity to hear/compare the Living Voice. Luckily, I now have a pair of Devore 8s (not the Super). The s... 
Best Audio Related Story (or joke).
True story: I was assisting in surgery. I introduced myself to the new surgeon, this being his first case in our O.R. As we started to close and pressure eased, the surgeon asked some personal questions- where you from, family, blah... He was from... 
lps sound bad
Sns, I listen to 90% vinyl and 10% digital. And yes, I agree, there are many poorly recorded rock Lps. The guys in the recording booths were most likely just as stoned as the musicians and had no clue, or didn't care. If I can't find a good rock L...
