Wool Rugs
If you have a local estate auction house, try there for decent/cheap oriental rugs. Well-made oriental rugs will outlast anyone as long as you don't grind stuff into them. I've had a few of mine for 20-odd years and (they had 60-120 years on them ... 
Your favorite cd of Hammond B-3 organ ?
Try the thread It's Hammond B3 Day! for more suggestions 
Single plinth for multiple table/motors
Hiho,I thought about that, but frankly, figured that was more of a hassle, and more expense than what I am thinking of. That said, I am still wondering what the right way to do this is. The idea is still more for fun than anything else. It is of d... 
New tonearm: wish to upgrade from DV 505
_r_walter,I love your analog set-up. I would love to hear the Onkyo PX-100M. I agree with Raul and Lew about trying a number of things before selling the DV-505...

SP10 Mk II vs Mk III
Hiho,I am far from an expert on SP10s' problems. I have never had a problem with any of mine whatsoever. Either several years ago when I tried my first, or since then. Albert is probably your best bet as he has direct experience.As for the DP-75, ... 
SP10 Mk II vs Mk III
FWIW, I have had a DP75M have a cap problem, causing it to spin fast, and my Exclusive P3 I bought with a problem in what the tech calls the "torque attenuation circuit" (a control circuit, where something went out of whack and caused the table to... 
SP10 Mk II vs Mk III
Rnadelman, The SH-10B3 is the standard obsidian plinth for the SP-10Mk2, and it also works on the SP-10Mk3. The SH-10EA is the standard power supply for the SP-10Mk2. The power supply for the SP-10Mk3 is a different beast. The two are not intercha... 
Speakers to build a $6500 system around
There was just a thread on Audioasylum's High Efficiency (speakers) forum about Altec Model 19s where recent pricing was discussed (and recent offers have been in the $1200-1500 range with no bids). A reasonably well-known audio dealer and speaker... 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
I have a pair of Altec Model 19s. While they will not win anyone's contest for sweetest treble, they are pretty special. I just spent a couple of weeks listening to them. Wonderful with tubes and analog. 
How effective is the Onzow Zerodust?
Syntax, is that some kind of vibrational cleaner? 
Laptop as Music Server - Wear?
I like the concept of the Fit-PC2. I wish one could put OS X on it. That's where my music is now and that's what my less-than-ultra-computer-savvy wife deigns to use. I assume that's not an option... 
Is the volume control on the Transport or the DAC?
Lall,Ouch. Shame on me for expecting that it would not be so expensive. La Reunion is an expensive place to be (as I expect Mauritius is), but I would have expected air freight to be somewhat subsidized. My idea on a dealer on LR was that he would... 
Is the volume control on the Transport or the DAC?
Lall, Is there a dealer on La Reunion? I'd bet not but you might ask. In any case, I guess airfreight St. Denis to Paris would not be cheap... 
Is the volume control on the Transport or the DAC?
The volume control on the AA Capitole is on the analogue output section, which means any of the solutions recommended would work. That said, why would you buy another transport as a back up? You might have many years left.
