| Nottingham spacedeck belt I think that is Origin Live. I use their belts too - very good. | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album How about that! There's a VC 81080 on Discogs right now, it's the one with a German eagle on the cover. | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album A bit more mainstream. Music and interpretation to blow you away: Maurice Andre, Bach for Trumpet. Angel SZ-37728 Interpretation is incredible. Unobtainium, but you haven’t really heard Beethoven’s Emperor Concerto (#5 for piano) until you hear ... | |
| Truly Stunning Vinyl Album Spectacular Renaissance music: La Spagna, directed by Paniagua . Two masterings, mine are on BIS. Values went to $1000 before re-release. Christmas music (like you’ve never heard it before): Laudate Domino on Proprius. | |

| Speakers that disappear Your local porch pirate should be able to help you with that. Or, you might consider a Magnepan dealer. | |
| Power Amplifier - Maximum Resolution & Detail! @deep_333 That is true. A factory has all sorts of QC in place, which only makes sense if you are making a bunch of them.

| Record cleaning and realistic expectations I certainly fall into the category of "obsessed with the rinse cycle." I can hear the difference with a lab grade US machine. YMMV. | |

| Record cleaning and realistic expectations @lewm When I lived in LA I used tap water on about a dozen records, and they remained unplayable until I cleaned them with a US machine. Now they are pristine. | |
| Spades vs. Banana plugs ?? Not my experience at all. My high end connectors on Scanspeak drivers and Bryston amplifiers all come loose with spades or bare wire, on their own, without mortal assistance. Poltergeist? Of course, when loosing is a serious problem, lock washers... |
