Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
I have enjoyed posts by Ralph and Ramtubes on this forum. They are both highly qualified as designers and manufacturers. They both provide  answers to technical questions about gear. Sometimes, they include opinions based on their understanding of...

Seeking advice on possible VPI turntable upgrade
Sure. The VPI HRX presented a more natural with richer, but more detailed, sound. The textures of music were more apparent, the scale of complex music was reproduced with greater ease and detail. I can think of no area where the HRX did not beat t... 
Dylan
Garebear::I have seen Dylan about a 15 times going back to the Rolling Thunder review.  I was at his 30th anniversary show at the Garden in 1992 and have seen  at least a dozen times since then. The reason those who have seen this tour are raving ... 
Seeking advice on possible VPI turntable upgrade
When I went from a Superscoutmaster to a rim drive HRX, the upgrade made a substantial difference in all aspects 
Dylan

Happy Thanksgiving to all. 
What is the first album you purchased, and do you still have it?

VPI 16.5 vacuum cleaner
If it is like my old 17F, you can unscrew the unit from the bottom. It will reveal the entire line and you can check to see what's wrong. 
White Album Deluxe Anniversary edition
A second version from Amazon also skips in the same spot on sides 1 and 2. Goners beware. The deadwax info refers to Miles 1/2 speed Abbey Road Room 30. Maybe time for a shot at Quality Records pressing. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Tonight it's Wrecking Ball ( EmmyLou). Brings back vivid memories of the tour with Daniel Lanois which was superb.
