Vintage Rek o Kut, GATES, GRAY,RUSSCO turntable rebuilds ??
I enjoy modifying Gates CB-77 tables.  I like the CB-77 as it is a 12" version of the CB-500.  Same motor and mechanicals.  Gates has an inner hub on the platter that the idler connects with as opposed to outer rim drive.  This allows for a motor ...

Does the MAPLESHADE STATIC DRAINING BRUSH work?
I live in a dry climate plus have wool carpeting. The battle with static has been ongoing. I noticed an improvement when using the Mapleshade brush but it pailed compared to the difference that occurred when I ran a ground wire from my TT main bea... 
Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers
I ran ML requests for years with a CJ premier 11A and thought I was very happy. As funds allowed I up graded from the 11 to Premier 8a's (70 watts to 275). I never realized how much music I was missing especially at low volume. Bottom line, the mo...

schticky to clean lp's
I use a VPI record cleaner and for the most part have been very happy with it. I recently bought a In The Groove (sticky) cleaner from Music Direct. My thought was to use when the record was not in need of an all out bath. It seemed to do the job ... 
Which phono pre with CJ Premier 14/Linn/Devore
I really enjoyed the cj 15 mated to cj 8 a's and a cj 16ls. The downside was that you have to open it up to make output adjustments for cartridge changes. Otherwise it is an awesome phono stage.

Are Disc Players Dead?
I installed a Sonos system and added a high end DAC about 6 months ago. Since then I have not used my CD player once. I still listen to vinyl for critical listening but the convenience of the Sonos is nice.

Help Father of the bride dance song.
I knew I could count on you guys. Thanks you've been a big help. I'm not sure of the final final choice yet but I'm leaning towards the Prentenders "I'll stand By You", Fleetwood Mac "Landslide". I still have to check out some of these other sugge...
