Office system
Bryan, I have an all vintage system that I love. I know it wouldn't be everyones cup o tea. I have a pair of refurbished McIntosh MC40 tube monoblocks and a pair of Altec 604-8G speakers (model 17's). Think BIG. I think it truly sounds amazing for... 
static buildup
I take it you have carpeted floors? If so, get a can of Static Guard and treat your carpet in front of your system. Uline also sells anti-static mats if you want to go that route. A zerostat gun would also be of benefit. I would also make it a pra...

Professional Record Cleaning - Vinyl
I agree that a RCM is important, I beleive it's main purpose is to suck the crud fluid off the vinyl. So I feel that even more important for getting a record clean has to do with the brushes and fluids used. Some brushes are more effective of reac... 
Do Audiophiles really like music?
I don't consider myself an audiophile, I feel I am more of a music lover. While I very much enjoy the gear that makes music sound great, I just listen to music. I haven't touched my system other than to turn it on for about 6 months. Before I got ...
