Frogman: Is/are/do these posts meet your requirements of being "succinct"?If not, I'm still up for a challenge. 
Extraordinary recordings on vinyl
To Qdrone: I can't for the life of me conceive of anyone "dragging" me into a discussion without my actual act of responding! Does your post above actually mean that, someone you don't know, someone you obviously don't agree with on these matters,...

This post is of coarse, assuming my other posts, have since posted, which is doubtful, but hopeful.In another thread, you responded by initially saying... be careful what you wish for, and I think you said, "man up". Something like that? Anyway, i... 
Audio Desk & it's service
Here is my experience: As most would find, the two lp "wipers" go out of shape over time and don't perform the function as they did when new. I contacted my dealer, Elusive Disc, in turn, they contacted Ultra Systems. After my posting pictures as ... 
Stillpoints LP Isolator Record Weight
Wow! I was listening to the 1st pressing of Jimmy Page/Robert Plant "No Quarter", (which is an excellent sounding lp), and since it was in need of flattening, I put the Stillpoints LP isolator onto the top of my McCormack DNA 225 (Platinum) that i...

Frogman states:... "If they, (referring to my comments above), don't resonate as authoritative enough with you, then simply ignore them; I'm ok with that". Yet, by his own logic, my comments must have had some/enough effect on Frogman that he (cho...

I have re-read all of this again. In all due respect to Frogman, I do take some offense to his referring to my post as a "rant". (Do I detect some passion here?) I readily admit I lack the ability he has to make my point in an efficient manner, bu...

This may be off in another direction completely but, (IMO). there is a correlation here to the current subject above.When manufacturers of lps or equipment exclaim their product is the best or from the original master tapes and the best sounding e...

Frogman: I appreciate your pointed criticism and hopefully I can try to become more self-aware of my failings. I also appreciate your willingness to respond.I re-read your post above from 7/13 and this is now sinking in more. Since, as you say, al... 
using extra mat VPI 16.5?
as finally posted above, the 16.5 (DOES) have an adjustment capability. It's too bad that VPI doesn't readily let owners know. If they did, this thread would not exist! 
Best Cartridge for Kuzma Airline
Similar to my set-up for the ET 2.5.

Here it is, with all due respect to Frogman, I love his views and especially his thoughtful writings, his knowledge and the way those writings draw us all in... for the life of me, I still haven't, just one time, heard Frogman state one project th... 
Carbon Fiber Brush with Milty Gun?
Moonglum: The best alternative to "the gun" is the Audio Desk cleaner... no static at all.

Schubert: I don't know you but take your comment at face value. This kind of goes to my over-riding point of late.I'm trying to start/have a discussion but am met with negativity (to a degree) and the fact that I let my personal thoughts go out (I... 
The Band: S/T and/or Music from the Big Pink
FWIW, and I'm sure my opinion isn't worth that much.. I bought my first copy of "The Band" (the RL mastered, green label Capitol) around a year ago at a record show. It was not the best copy, far away from a 1A, but was a purchase in order to make...
