UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread
leadcrew- YOU win the internet. The thread is about Ted's view on EVH and R&R, that's it. I saw Ted in 76, at his peak (IMO)before his "Cat Scratch Fever" and later rubbish.  
Alan White-Yes. R.I.P.
"The poor man was obviously ill, and could only play a couple of songs before taking a break and being replaced by another drummer whose kit was also set up on the stage. The really sad part was that it is a round revolving stage at this venue, a... 
Disappointing short life of NOS preamp tube
"I actually wonder that. Not sure there’s a guarantee of being "NOS", or whether that would even matter except for power tubes." mulveling- yeah, the "NOS" thing is roll of the dice. With preamp tubes, it may not be such an issue whether or not y... 
UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread
"I can listen to all curated VH in random; Fire In The Hole" fuzztone- I tried to listen VH after their 2nd album, but quickly lost interest. VH  was still a great band, but just wasn't my thing. I also found the Sammy Halen thing of no interest... 
Perimeter Ring Clamps: Yay?, Nay?, Sources??
If one plays used LP's it makes sense if your setup can handle it AND you don't mind additional hassle.  Have you tried the O ring and clamp to dish the LP? It's the least expensive and effective way to get most LP's reasonably flat.

Turntable sub $4k buy decisions too many.
VPI user experiences seem to be all over the place here, on Agon.  As a 10 year user, based on your description of what you had, I would have imagined it a fantastic performer. Did you have it setup up professionally? If not, that may have contr... 
Disappointing short life of NOS preamp tube
mulveling, Yeah, I figure it was in the upper range nearing 10K hours. As said in the opening post, I'm just goofing on the fact they lasted "only 7 years." I get most of my tubes from Brent Jesse, and trust his listings. If he say's their NOS, ...

Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding
dekay wins the internet.  
What difference do power cables make?
Rogue by 5:00 P.M.?    
Do power conditioners help with unwanted hum/noise
jb1- The OP likely jumped out of a window if he had to endure 17 years of  hum.  
How far is your SUT from your Phono Pre/Preamp?
This must be a trick question?  
Focal Sopra, Kanta, Aria
