2016: In Memorium
Why do I feel old, all of a sudden?But in a serious tone, we lost a lot of talent, and the new talent we have coming up, is not a fair exchange. 
Anyone having trouble with Tidal cutting out?
I had some issues about a yr avowed with Deezer and it turned out to be my router. I have Tidal as well but have yet to experience any drop outs. Have you tried unplugging your router for a few minutes and let everything reset itself? That helped ...

Do you clean your records before play, after play, or once (and then never again)?
I clean mine once on the VPI 16.5 then only a second time if they seem to still have issues when I play them. Otherwise I use a Furetech de-stat and a Carbon brush from acoustic sounds each time I play. I also clean the stylus frequently but not e... 
On board or outboard DAC?
Falconquest, I also have the Ayre C5XEmp and have tried my Rega DAC and was about 10 seconds into a song and realized I was not going to do that. The I bought a Oppo 105d for use as a BluRay and 5.1 music. I have tried playing Redbook and 2Channel... 
Power Amp with digital input?

Leon Russell has passed on......

Adjust meters
Have you checked that it is not the pre amp output by switching inputs left to right? If that is good then as mentioned a trim pot with a very small screw head would be at the base of the meter needle.  
Linn lip-12
Chubaka, I bought a Gingko that was made for a Michele Gyro as it was big enough and cheaper than having one custom made. Music Direct sell them for 379.00 but you can usually get 10% or if you have some one there that you do business with maybe 1... 
Linn lip-12
When I had my LP12, I packed the OEM dust over in the box to protect it from scratches and bought a dust cover that covered the whole table. And I always played records with the cover off. 
Double LP Side Numbering Scheme
That goes back to days of the stacked record playing. When console stereos had turntables they had a long spindle with a arm to balance the records that were stacked above the platter. The tone arm would be prompted thru a mechanical connection th... 
RMAF 2016
I have gone every year since the first RMAF and in the past 2 years the show seems to have lost it's enthusiasm. This year was the smallest I can recall. There were far fewer exhibitors and I am sure that is partly due the remodel of the Marriott....
