It is 5 AM, Do you Know where Mikey Fremer is?
All of my 3,000+ records have been listened to at least once. Most of my records were bought in the 70's and 80's and have been the predominant source of music in my house ever since. 
Teres Composite Platter, etc.
Chris, if you are dropping the 200 series tables, does that mean you will only be producing the Certus tables? Or has the west process proven to be too complex / expensive for moderate priced tables? Will there be a composite base instead?

Chris, does this mean that Chris B is still offering the 300 series base?

Our home system: How good it is?
Shadorne, I'm going to assume that you are either not married or your listening room is relegated to a less "public" part of the house, is that the case? My wife "allows" me to use the great room as a listening room. But she had final say on the p...

Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?
Sonofjim (and Crem), I understand your concern over contaminents, I'm just trying to put it into the bigger picture. First, keep in mind that any water passing through the steamer is undergoing a distillation process. After all, distillation is no... 
Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?
I'm not Sonofjim, but I think that there probably is some paranoia / OCD over water purity. Straight tap water will more than likely cake up the steamer depending upon your water hardness, but yes, I think reagent grade water is OTT when you consi... 
I'm taking a poll...
Well, A and C assume records are the same thickness and are all cut at the same angle, which isn't the case.So, B it is. 
Spilled marinara sauce on wood speaker....
Well, I use a Tide stick when I get sauce on my shirt - usually happens at least once a week. Ummm, I dunno, maybe that would work? 
Difference between a VPI HW19 MkII & MKIII
Okay, this is from memory, it's been too many years since I sold these turntables.The MkII replaced the original aluminum platter with an acrylic/lead platter. The plinth was stiffened with a second piece of steel, and the suspension was different... 
Speltz Anti Cable Speaker Cable
