Rega Planar 25 problem
Call/email the Rega distributor once again -- Steve, at www.soundorg.com. Go on the website to get the phone #. Very helpful. Excellent customer support, in my experience.

Accurate speed measured over what interval(s)? This might make all the difference!

Hey Jean des Nantes,You clearly didn't read what I wrote, or understand it to the extent you passed your eyes over it. And don't try to tell me my Kuhn, or my history of science, you dillatante. Anyway, I am gratefully humbled. I had though *I* wa...

Apologies to the OP, by the way. My $.02? Big diference between plug and play and tweak/diy/hunt/no dealer support. If you like the latter sort of thing, there are lots of options, but it's a big commitment and involves at least as much obsession ...

Hey John-whatever. You have gone well into the range of crankhood. Stop whipping out the overworked and under-defined term "scientific", and stop exploiting the piss-poor inference from "the experts used to think P but now we know that's wrong" to... 
Total newbie question re: headphone amps
What about a tube headphone amp, fed by the tape out of a Naim Nait 3. My reasons are: I want to try tubes in some way; the Nait has no headphone jack; the Nait has my only phono pre.Would I get tube pleasure? 
Why are audiophiles perceived as being wackos?
I can't say why, but one thing is clear to me. Audiophiles grunt and groan on and on about how music is the thing, and the fact is, there are far more music lovers who are not audiophiles than who are, regardless of their budgets and sound systems...

Mel Torme
"Mel Torme Swings Shubert Alley" Great stuff, for a start. 
Grounding problem?
Thanks Bigtee. The ground wire that terminates in a spade is attached to the ground post of my Nait. I thought that was what it's for. Um, what's the chassis of the deck, and how do I ground to it? Could you please explain?Thanks. 
Best tonearm position for VTA?
All due respect, R&J may be fluff, but Till Eulenspiegel is not. The idea that on this forum one must apologize for Richard (not Johann) Strauss is absurd. There are folk herabots who don't feel the need to hide from the fact they listen to Ka... 
RB300 with broken finger lift
I just meant that my phrase "the experience for the benefit of which I asked my question", though grammatically correct, sounds snooty. (I have got to learn to type better, too!) Nrchy, I didn't mean a problem in terms of getting the arm on and of...

RB300 with broken finger lift
So, Nrchy, you do not say if the missing lift is any kind of problem.Sdcampbell, you are risk averse. Me too. Expensive way and time consuming way to be. Doubts make nice things sound bad. All due respect, David, but it sounds as if you decided yo...
