Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers?
For me the tale will be told when GVF makes it’s second and more albums. Do they grow and expand their sound into something unique that allows them to mature as artists?If it’s more of the same then they’re just another Zeppelin cover band that lu... 
Carpenters
Music on Vinyl released a pretty good sounding double record package called "The Collection" last year.  It includes all the hits plus some deep album tracks and obviously songs that the Singles 69-73 doesn't have. 
VPI 16.5 vacuum cleaner
Mine is about 10 years old and I've never had any problems with draining the fluid.  After draining I regularly flush mine out further with water.  It sounds like the drain going out to the hose might be clogged.  Might want to check again with VP...

Headphone cable, what do you do?
What model is your Audeze?I purchased a good quality 15 foot headphone cable to replace the stock one I got with my lcd-x from Moon Audio. 
When your hearing is not very good......
I know it's not a popular device for most audiophiles but I compensate for my upper frequency register loss with an equalizer.  I was using an old harmen-kardon EQ-8 I bought back in the late 80's but it recently died.I purchased a Schitt Loki abo... 
YOUTUBE and Vinyl are gonna bankrupt me!

Stylus Photos - Opinions Please
Depending upon how old those stylii are I'd be more concerned about degradation of the materials controlling the movement of the cantilever than the needles.  As pointed out by the gentleman above, if it sounds good and isn't damaging the vinyl yo... 
High End is Dead?
I was told that vinyl is dead, analogue is dead, CD's are dead, the music business is dead, but I think Mr. Townshend is still correct: Landslide, rocks are fallingFalling down 'round our very headsWe tried but you were yawningLook again, rock is... 
Roger Waters Amused To Death
Agreed, like many of Water's solo albums it's a grower.  I had to listen a couple of times to "get it".  I hated "Pros and Cons" when it first came out, but then I got over the fact that Gilmour wasn't playing guitar and now it's one of my favorites.

exceptional voices of female singers (non-classical)
I never paid much attention until Samsung started doing those ads using the "Similau" song, but I've come to really like Peggy Lee's singing style. 
Dylan...whats the deal?
Apparently, Sony Legacy, has decided that Hard Rain was worth a new reissue.  It's available on amazon on 01/27/18
