| Cartridge Mounting Hardware And, as @folkfreak points out, never over-tighten! | |
| Cartridge Mounting Hardware Aural memory is like gustatory memory: capricious, inconsistent, and unreliable. Much like my college dating history. If you don't notice a sonic difference, then don't worry about it. Listen to the music, not the system. Anyhow, my cartridge moun... | |
| Favorite band or artist of all time? Wasn't Miller also the bassist on Fagen's "Nightfly" album? | |
| Imaging question I agree. I can't see why my system would be damping ONE specific recording and no others. | |
| Vinyl Sleeves and Jackets I ditched all my outer sleeves; I mean, I just couldn't see the point in encasing every lp cover in plastic. As for the inner sleeves, I'll wait to slide them into something more than what they came with when I eventually get an ultrasonic cleaner... | |

| Speaker suggestions Since you have a powerful Decware amp, have you considered talking to Steve at Decware about which of his speakers would work best? | |
| Blue Circle Audio is Out of Business Had the classic BC 2.1 pre back in the day. Solidly built and sonically blissful. Mr. Yeung knows how to design and build components, so I'm glad he's refocused his passion into the Saturn Audio line. | |

| Higher Efficiency Speakers Those Salk 3’s are beautiful, but also 88db - not the most efficient. Don’t lose sight of Decware, either:http://www.decware.com/newsite/HR1.html | |
| So disappointed in today's Americana Here in the St. Louis area some good Americana bands are Prairie RehabThe Trophy Mules |
