Taylor Swift Concert Prices
Mahler,  I agree- “ I would argue that she just handed him ammo for the next skirmish they have.” The man should have his stereo system.    
A rare opportunity (or at least I think it's rare)
What a wonderful experience.  Keep on keeping on!  
Advice on how to liquidate system
I’m in the “don’t sell, yet” camp. Suffering a traumatic injury is bad enough. Let some time go by and ignore the stereo system for a couple months. Go to a fabric store and buy some nice cloth to lay onto the components. It’ll look decent, keep t... 
How To Keep Cat Off Stereo Equipment?
Do NOT play Year If the Cat- every audiophile cat from Nashville will be at your door!  Play Steppenwolf, Los Lobos, Three Dog Night.  That should do it.

Shure Bulletin (written in 1954)
Excellent article!  Few years ago, I bought a pristine looking Robert Johnson Lp. Played it and it was super noisy.  Took the LP to the operating room where we used powerful microscopes for brain surgery. All along the grooves of the entire LP we... 
What is the VERY BEST CD album you've ever heard?
Blood Sweat and Tears, Original Master Recording. 24 kt Gold Plated.   
Jim Gordon has Passed On...
Derek and The Dominoes is one of the best Rock LPs in my opinion. Full of good music and great passion induced by talent, heart break, joy and lots of drugs.   Shortly after recording that album, the band toured.   Then, they broke up. Clapton wen...

I feel bad for Generation X and The Millennial's
Poor things… they never got to stumble into a Tower Records on Sunset Blvd at 2 in the morning. See The Who walk in (stumble, really) to admire a pallet stack of their new LP, Who’s Next. No one really paid attention to them, because all 10 peopl...

So sad, they never got to see Lawrence Welk while eating Swanson’s tv dinner with mom and dad.   
Cartridge "upgrade" to Dynavector XV1T
I have a Dynavector XT cart. I’ve owned 2 others.  Great carts.  My recommendation is to try the Etsuro Gold. It’s the best I’ve heard and own.  Enjoy the music.   
Ultimate stereo nightmare
Whatever you do (I recommend moving everything, including the table and disconnecting everything, reconnect) LABEL every cable- interconnects, speaker cables, power cables- on each end.   Seek out other audiophiles in your area. Great source for h... 
What's your favorite $5-7000 turntable?
Definitely a Transrotor. I have a Transrotor Fat Bob on a Fenite Elemente Pagoda (wall mount). Not only is it a finely crafted machine, but it looks fantastic and will be the center piece of your audiophile system.  
Time to do house cleaning.
Clean it up.  the process will is good for the soul.   (Maybe you’ll find some good soul music you forgot about).
