Becker and Fagen on Recording EMG in Analog
4yanx Thanks for the great post. The info is much appreciated. "Everything Must Go", great CD. These guys are always a step ahead of everybody. Thanks again, Rick.  
Rolled off highs with unison unico: any solutions
I agree with Mattybumpkin, Try swapping the tubes with better quality NOS or good used tubes. Don't be afraid of used tubes. Preamp tubes usually last a long time. Quality used tubes are available at reasonable prices. Used power tubes are a dif... 
Where can I find threaded brass rod for equip rack
Try McMasters or Graingers. Both should have it. Rick. 
Damping Rega Table
Hi Stefanl I had the same problem with my TT. I would walk in the room and watch the little anti-skate weight swing back and forth ever so slightly on my Music Hall mmf7. I purchased a Target wall mounted TT shelf and the problem was solved. I can... 
Preamp with remote under $1000
I'll second the VTL 2.5, great preamp for the money. I'm very pleased with the performance and the phono section is excellent. Plan to spend around $1000.00 if you need a phono section. Rick. 
Sensitive Monitors
Warrenh. The JM Labs line of speakers are among the best in the industry. " The JM labs seemed to miniaturize everything...... I felt like I was watching little tiny performers on a little stage, almost like viewing a TV as opposed to watching a ... 
Need to clean some cds
I'll second the Meguiars "Scratch X". I have had great success with it. The best cloth to use is a BRAND NEW baby diaper. Doesn't get any softer that that. I use them on my classic car. Just my $.02. Rick. 
Need Help Finding Affordable Tube Amp Kits.
Drrasta, Thanks for the info. I will check the sites you mentioned. Thanks again, Rick. 
Rega Jupiter owners, What are you using for Tweaks
Thanks to all who responded to this thread. Greatly appreciated. Another question with the Rega Jupiter. Sometimes when I'm playing the music on the loud side, the cd skips. Have any of you had this problem? Thanks again, Rick. 
Small Room Question
I too had the same problem. Floor standers were way to big in my 11" X 13" room. Went to a pair of monitors with stands. Less bass was the trade off,no more standing bass waves. I have tube traps and acoustic panels that i'm also using to dial in ... 
Review: Bryston 4B Amplifier
Hi. Mine doesn't do that. You might try contacting Bryston service by phone and describe this problem. I think they should be able to help with this problem. Is it still under warranty? If so, they will fix it at no cost to you. Hope this helps, ... 
"Junk" LP listings on audiogon - get rid of 'em
This Music for sale section needs to have a "member listing limit" and doing so would make the seller with the HUGE list condense the're limited ads. 1 ad could contain a list of 20 LP's or CD's. I think the free ads are fine. Just stop the ones w... 
Tonearm Lifting Device, Any Ideas???
Hi Kublakhan, YES, I'm still looking. If you have one, let me know. Please email me directly if possible. Thanks, Rick. 
Love Audio Love Cars
Hi Guys. I've had both clasic cars and audio gear. I love the gear and the music. I have a modest tube system and enjoy the tweaking and DIY part also. Clasic cars are also a passion of mine. My current vehicle is a Black 1966 Chevrolet Corvette C...
