The ORIGINAL UK plum/red Atlantic is still the very best of "Fragile". The AP is the pressing of choice of one doesn't want to search for a stone mint copy of the plum/red/ IMHO, and all that, of course. Both best the all three of the Japanese ver... 
MM to MC back to MM
Surely this discussion has been posted before. Sorry for not searching the archives first.Sure it's been discussed before. A couple years or so back, those of us that dared speak the virtues of some MM carts were derided as flaky lunatics without ... 
Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik
Funny. Some of us who promoted some of these vintage and newer MM's in the past were derided as heretics.

Good luck Albert. One of my best friends has an SP10 and it is a good table, too, though he wants to buy my DP80 after hearing it last week. Speed is SUPER stable and it is a very lively table - a factor some cite as a weakness with some DD's

Whatcha mean Albert? Do I owe you a Denon? |:+} 
Denon DD Plinthing
Thanks, SDub. It does sound surprisingly excellent, even with what might be considered a modest arm/cart combo. I am expecting HUGE things from the DP80 as initial results were very positive. 
Walker Audio Prelude LP Cleaning Solution
What a novel idea! I mean, who ever before developed a three step vinyl cleaning process before, using an enzymatic product as the first step and ultrapure water as the third and final step? The creativity shown here is fairly remarkable. My only ... 
Morph The Cat-Bass Notes
I agree, Rja, but the sad thing is that Audiogon continues to support creeps as long as they pay. 
Would treated CD's or OOP's-hold its value later?
As silly as it may sound, I use a spray on-wipe off product called Shine-Ola on my CD's (and DVD's) and it really works. I had used RRL fluids for vinyl records for some time and a member advised that I try their Shine-Ola. It seems to add more de... 
Vandersteen Quatro / Model 5 Set Up
The presence of the pdf files on the Vandy site is new. Of course the manual calls for the Vandersteen CD and an SPL meter. The CD is unobtainable to non-dealers (even some dealers don't have them) and most users don't know how to use an SPL meter... 
dedicated 70's rock system
I have a system with an Accuphase E-202 integrated driving Ohm C2's. Garrard 301. Sony ST-5950 tuner. Pioneer CT-F9191 Cassette. Extremely nice. 
Albert Porter's Lenco
Oh, no. The plinth you had the guy make matched the rest very well, I thought. He had one that was butchered that I totally rebuilt from scratch, including restortation of the mechanics which were reputed to have been done by an "expert". He menti... 
Albert Porter's Lenco
Ddin't Jim W wind up with the Herbie-matted Lenco? I rebuilt another table from him that an, ahem, expert butchered. 
Ipod Nano
I am surprised that Apple is coming through. Good for them.There are many places locally that will recover a hard drive for about 40-50 bucks. If someone is charging "mucho dinero" they are rip-off artists. 
Ipod Nano
If your computer crashed, your best bet is probably to take your hard drive to a recovery service. They'll find your stuff. I'll hazard a guess that Apple will do nothing for you.
