Gruv Glide
OK Daveyf what was it then? It said GruvGlide on the box. The can was in the box, the can sprayed a powder that when dried had a talcom powder like consistancy. It came with 2 pads much like a "powder puff" women use for applying make up. It looke... 
Gruv Glide
I bought some years ago and still have practically a brand new box. Tried it once, saw what it was and realized it was a mistake to subject my vinyl and stylus to talcom powder. 
Could this be the next Frank Sinatra?
The kid shows some promise, he has a good tonality to his voice. He needs to develop more emotion and hopefully as he ages he doesn't lose what he has now. As we age our voice changes and he may just be in a short window of the best he has to offe... 
McIntosh Preamp
Personnaly I would go Solid State McIntosh on the pre with tube amps. But that is my ears. 
Sound blead through on LP
This is one of the few things inherent of vinyl, it's normal. 
RCM recommendations
I'll chime in for the 16.5 as well and one note on the Okki Noki after reading the recent review in Absolute Sound it doesn't sound so Okki Doki by comparision to the simplicity of the VPI. 
the guess who vs the rock and roll hall of fame
When they didn't take the Moody Blues I determined that the RRHOF is a political joke. The Guess Who should be in there as well, but they appear to be basing their decision on something other than talent and contribution to the Rock And Roll Genre... 
Ravel F52 Performa - Impedance curve
I have never seen one. I own the F32's and looked some time ago and never found anything. You may try calling Revel and asking tech support if they can provide one.

How to ground old turntable with no grounding wire
I would look for a screw on the motor and attach a wire to that and run it to either the ground lug on your pre-amp/receiver/Phono pre-amp if one of them has one has one. Or if not try using the center screw on the wall plate if you have 3 prong r... 
Has anyone heard Rega's Isis CDP?
I did get a chance to hear it in system with Vandersteen 7's, Audio Research Ref5 and Ref 210 Mono Blocks and it sounded absolutely fantastic. In fact when I was told it was a Rega I couldn't believe it. The same rack had the Naim CDS3 and that wa... 
What are your favorite SACDs and why?
I wasn't aware of "boys and girls" on SACD. I must get that I also have the other title mentioned. I would discuss the sound track to Oh Brother... but it seems I must R-U-N-O-F-T! 
McIntosh MC352 lamp replacement
I understand that they are all out now but did they fail all at the same time? If so, as mentioned I would suspect the power supply of a connector with in the unit. 
McIntosh MC352 lamp replacement
I had a 352 and changed bulbs on it at least 3 times. I tarded it for a 402 to get away from having to do that. I always used McIntosh bulbs about a dollar each from McIntosh. If you buy them buy enough to do it twice, for some reason once you cha... 
Linn interconnects
I always think of it as plumbing, direction of flow.
