Marti Jones "Used Guitars" had some great songs, unfortunately the LP was bright sounding.  
Do female audiophiles exist
I think part of the problem is trying to determine this by whether someone posts on a chat board. Most of the folks here in my experience are pretty helpful, and if anything, anti-bragging/bling, but the one upsmanship of the high end is tiring to...

Elvis Hitler. Their Disgraceland album contains a cover of Purple Haze called Green Haze. It is the Hendrix tune, but with the lyrics from the tv show, "Green Acres." "Farm livin,' it's the life for me...".  It came out shortly after Paul Simon's ...

Love Terry Reid, and actually have an old Shonen Knife record. The Terry stuff I still listen to- haven't pulled out that Knife record since what- the '80s?

Jea- yeah, i tried in NY and the local utility guy told me to get lost- i didn't say it was for audio, but we have separate buildings on this property and they still said no. I gather if I paid for it, they might reconsider, but I'm trying to get ...

For clarity, and Jea can correct me here, but I think "separate panel" means separate service from the street. I think part of this is pure electrical code which is national (and then locally implemented, correct Jea?) and part of it is zoning, e.... 
Drying time after a VPI record cleaner?
One telltale may be how water behaves on a record surface after it has been cleaned and dried. I suppose if you had access to a lab that could identify chemicals traces in suspension, you could measure the "pure water" first to get a baseline read...

Ghost, no if you go to the Tripp Lite home page, and search for medical isolation transformers, you will see what they offer- mine is an 1800, I think, comes with both a 20 amp and 15 amp plug. Not as cheap as the one you flagged, but not crazy mo...
