Power Cords - Pixie Dust?
This is the best thread I have read here at Audiogon. Hey lighten up Bob, I agree with Twl (NO Bob I did not try it yet ok) but if you know anything about turntables it's only common sense that if you can help the motor run smoother you get better...

Need help with tracking vinyl
The question is, how did this lp get so warped? I hope all your other goodies are safe. Sounds like you need to search eBay for another pressing of that lp.Even if I have a pressing with only a slight warp, it still bugs me to see my arm going up ...

How do I adjust the speed on my Linn Sondek LP 12?
You got a steal of a deal on that rig. You must get the origin live dc motor kit and power supply replacement. The money invested will get you a lot better performance. This is a major upgrade for the Linn, and considering you are using a Koetsu R... 
Cartridge recomendation for Rega P25

"HELP" tired Koetsu
Twl do you use a shelter? Maxgain you need to dump that shure thing and get a OC9 brand new only $299. I know you will love it, Always quite. better Musically than any CD. Twl what do you think about the OC9? ever tried one? I remember reading a o...

Got screwed using Paypal What to do?
I like PayPal, and like pmwoodward said if you sent this guy a money order, certified check, personal check, or even a credit card. You still would not have gotten your amp. He was a crook. It is very important to know who you are dealing with. Yo...
