$700 Used TT Upgrade Advice, Is it Worth It For Me?
I agree with the Rega suggestion. Good arms, and many post production tweeks and upgrades to keep your interest piqued for years to come. 
Are you Sirius?
I don’t know if the signal they provide has enough data bitrate  to ever get a sound quality we would prefer. I subscribe in my vehicle only and with the road noise I find it adequate. I used to have it my garage and still would, but use Sonos and... 
shrink wrap film residue- how to remove
Audioman, you don’t mention what finish you have, is it a veneer wood finish or a high gloss paint? 
Can't we all just get along?
I agree that some of these threads get side tracked into “ego feats” and people with a need to degradadate others to satisfy their own insecurities. As mentioned above, with the autonomous nature of internet and a moniker to hide behind, that lash... 
VPI 16.5 Cleaning Machine - Drying Question
I owned a 16.5 for years and tried a number of solutions. I think the Walker 4 step did a great job but was tedious and time consuming. So I settled on MoFi enzyme with a pure water rinse. But as far as  volume of water and the surface being left ... 
Static Electricity on Vinyl
I second the Furutech DeStat along with an Acoustac carbon fiber brush. 
New Marantz AV7703 missing an audio fomat
Pdn, you have Dolby Pro-logic IIz which is the latest incarnation of Dolby Pro-Logic.  
Veterans Day
Thanks to all who have served and especially those that suffered injury or paid the ultimate sacrifice. Our freedom comes at great expense, let us make sure we never forget those whom insured it with their personal investment. 
Vinyl Storage
It would have to be really humid to have any effect on the outer jackets or sleeves. The only concern I would have is flooding, a friend of mine just had a bunch of his albums get soaked. The vinyl was fine but the jackets are toast, maybe toast i... 
McIntosh MC152 vs MC162
vad58: I think Scorpio makes a good point. With Mc amps, used are usually in very good shape and can last for years. At your price point you might find a good used MC402, I have owned mine for years and it still sounds good. I know it may be more ... 
McIntosh MC152 vs MC162
The 162 is pretty old, I would say 20 years since it was made. It goes back to the days when Clarion owned McIntosh and they offered a number of products that were a step back from the front line. The one way that they kept 5he cost down was not u... 
Can Vinyl LP's Survive In A Room that Gets 95 Degrees?
 I think you should consider that vinyl is pressed at much higher temperatures.  And when distributed through the country in trucks that reach much higher temperatures in the cargo area that is not climate controlled, they arrive in good condition... 
Anyone move on from a Lyra Delos?
Long time ago I bought the Delos and the dealer allowed me to move up to the Kleos. I guess I liked the Delos so much that I figured the Kleos was a step up, which it was a remarkable improvement. And I say that knowing that I would still have the... 
Linn Sondek question
Just noticed, my voice text picked up "anywhere" which was intended to state "any wear" probably makes more sense to those care:)By the way if you need it tuned up, contact Rick at www.audioalternative.comI have recommended him many times and have... 
Linn Sondek question
This is one of the reasons I let mine go.  No offense to noromance but I was taught that you push down on the platter 1/2 way between the spindle and tonearm base to check alignment. But that only indicates the suspension and won’t reveal anywhere...
