I got a steamer from Walgreens, got it set up next to my VPI RCM. During the vacuum cycle I steam the record at the same time, they come out squeeky clean. I just use a home brew of distilled water, alcohol and dish soap to clean and distilled wat... 
Better than my 32" Sony Wega XBR?
I bought my 36" WEGA XBR right before the flat panel craze started. Just to save room I'd like to go to a flat panel but my picture is so darn good and I paid so darn much for this TV I just can't move yet.Mike 
Speakers and what's between them
In my experience I had a TV in between the speakers and it collapsed the soundstage. I've now quit trying to play with home theater and I place my other components on the floor not on a rack between the speakers. This allows much more depth of the...

JM Focal 1037 BE speaker placement
Thanks Tmstamps, I too have a suspended wood floor and carpeting. I thought about tilting but put my speakers on 15x18x3" butcher block maple slabs. I just got these speakers and the rest of my system is new to me, I took a two year layoff and am ...

Concrete or Wood floor in listening room?
Dave, You lost me with your statement "A well constructed sub-floor will be just as good as cement in isolation from vibration." The floor I am planning will be cement, if it is just as good as a well constructed sub-floor why add wood over cement...

Audio Aero Puck Fix.
Unclejeff, Mine works fine too, I just noticed a slight play (back and forth in the puck) only several thousanths of an inch or the thickness of the tape. I was thinking of machining a new puck from plastic, now that is a full moon idea! Mike 
Audio Aero Direct into Amps.
I run mine direct and balanced into Krell mono's. In a search here and at AA I found this to be the prefered method by far, at least by those who answered the question. No issues, it sounds wonderful.
