Warren Zevon,"Warren Zevon"
Why settle for a reissue? Get the period press. There are 11 pressings to choose from. I have this one Warren Zevon – Warren Zevon (1976, CP - Pitman Press, Vinyl) - Discogs That and "Excitable Boy" certainly have excellent sonics. No need for... 
Reliability of Dan D'Agostino equipment
It's highly unlikely D'Agostino has maintained it's level of perceived "ulra fi" with shoddy with reliability and customer service. That said, unless you're buying from a private seller, a legit dealer is the way to go.

Revel F228be
You're ready to drop an amount that certainly warrants getting the room prepared to exploit whatever you decide on. It will be a waste if you can't get them out into the room 4-6ft from the front wall along with diffusion/damping. Fancy speaker c... 
If it sounds 'great', everything is ok?
A clear sigh of Audio Neurosis. Stay off audio forums and enjoy listening to your LP’s. Get a considerably better table setup/phonostage to hear a significantly "greater" sound.  
Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods?
I've seen dealer price lists from "high end audio" manufacturers. Particular segments have REALLY high markup, that doesn't seem to faze customers.  Also have been exposed to the wholesale end of other high end consumer products. Nothing shockin... 
Left Channel Out Primaluna Dialogue Premium
I've owned the PL HP for 6 years.  Channel went out and it was an auto bias board. It's one of the suspects that will make a channel go out. Take it to an authorized tech. Mine fortunately happened to during warranty period.  
Bass Players
The music at times has a Yes inspired sound, along with every other band influenced by Yes.

Music industry perspective
So the pianists thought Jimmy Cobb to be an invasive species?  
What if Jeff Beck was a drummer?

Kirmuss Cleaning System Discuss?
The concept of "restoration" makes sense, but that's about it. I've had a LP cleaned by Mr. Kirmuss at a show. While the end result did what's expected, it's not for everyone. Much to "hands on" for me, if you want to do the complete cleaning acc... 
Wayne's Audio Turntable Periphery Stabilizing Outer Ring
If the spindle on your deck is long enough, a center clamp(not weight) along with a rubber washer to dish the LP is a cheap way to flatten not so flat LP's. I use the screw down clamp, along wth rubber washer on my VPI. Periphery ring does requi... 
Cartridge Advice Please
Audio Technica ART9 fan here. Also have heard the Rega P10 Apheta setup, which I liked. Your setup unquestionably is up to the task to make any table/cart sound great. If I had a P10 and was looking for a change, I'd try the recent addition to t...
