What is the reason for this? (Digital vs Vinyl Question)
unreceivedogma:We'll just have to agree to disagree on this. Perhaps if you heard on of BR's records on a great analog system you'd change your mind!

What is the reason for this? (Digital vs Vinyl Question)
@billzameI"m not suggesting anyone build their entire collection at Better Records. I only said "buy one"!It's just than anyone buying MoFi's and AP's has never heard what a record can do and is therefore in need of an education on analog. Once yo...

"Mofi 1 Step, Analogue Productions, Classic Records, etc"With all due respect to everyone who's weighed in on this so far, much of which I agree with, the problem is the records. These so called "Audiophile" records lack the very quality that make... 
An unconventional approach to POWER MANAGEMENT
Thanks minorl! I appreciate it! 
So how can a great system solve less than great recordings

@antigrunge2,Those are some great suggestions, and I appreciate all the details. Thank you for your input!I wish those AR Rtp strips weren't so expensive! Are they that good?

A different view of power cords
I"m not sure if your use of the phrase "rolled off" was in reference to the sound of my system without the aftermarket cords MC, but I can assure you the effect was just the opposite. I'm hearing much better top end resolution than before.In any c...

Hey thanks slaw! I appreciate your checking it out! 
Cart adjustment, that moment when you nail it!
Try to remember what you did to get it dialed in. It won't be too long before you play a record that won't impress you and you'll be back to "futzing" again. But that's the fun of it! 
Help my analog sound as good as my streaming
"If you play records manufactured recently, very few of them will blow you away because most of them would sound not much different from streaming"I wholeheartedly agree with this statement. I'd also echo millercarbon on letting analog be your ref...
