| Whats on your turntable tonight? Nice "introduction"! BTW, thank you again Rushton for your comprehensive list of recommended organ recordings on LP. I've managed to track down a half dozen or so, and they are all very fine indeed.-Richard | |

If you have extremely steady hands, a bright light and a good loupe (10X Tripplet minimum, glass not plastic) you can usually "pick out" the offending material or deformed vinyl wall. I have done this on several occasions. My tool of choice is usu... | |
| Schroeder Reference Arm Dgad's points are indeed valid - in fact, true optimization of the analog front end is a time consuming, laborious task that takes much longer than the optimistic numbers Dgad postulates (unless you happen to have a stroke of dumb luck, or you're ... | |
