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.      
Need Speakers at least 4 feet high
jonwolfpell- let's pray the OP found a solution.  It's only been 14 years.  
EVS Music Purifier
From  the link:  "The ones I am selling do exactly what the reviews state.of all the above.....that is, to make the sound more musical and more detailed.  You hear more separation of instruments, more hall sound, more air, lowering of noise and l... 
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
Look at the Focal 948, since the 936 has your ear. It's a little bigger footprint than the 936, more punch with a little more refined presentation.  
Nordost cable damage - opinions?
Too bad you have to find out the seller was  not forthcoming. Frey2 is great cable. I would just let it ride and enjoy the music. As mentioned, if you ever decide to move up the Nordost food chain, you'll just have to take the hit and sell at a l... 
I finally got a record cleaning machine. First thoughts.
Congrats! Looks very German, maybe the S Class Mercedes of RCM's? I want a proper RCM. Fortunately, my used buying streak is more quiet than garbage finds.   My Spin Clean makes them at least look nice and clean! Clean in good health.  
For you younger viewers....Etta James
 Etta and countless other covers are cool. But Willie's original  cut is down and dirty, the way it should be. Where would Zeppelin so many others be?
