Options for ridding records of static electricity
What single stereo item have I owned The longest and will never part with? My 35 year old zerostat. By the way- zapping a record before play 95% of the time results in no lifting of my felt mat 
Replacing driver screws with brass screws
I’m not changing my speaker screws. If Peter says it’s of no effect- I am 100% confident in what he says. In years on these boards there is in my opinion only one or two other people whose analysis and conclusions are consistently rock solid. Pete...

Who has made a move and did you let movers take Hi-Fi
I moved in 2015 and again in 2016. I moved my turntable myself, otherwise, the movers moved everything else. I have original boxes for all my gear (even my gear made in the 70's). No damages whatsoever.  
Manufacturers with Excellent customer service
