Are you using cryoed outlets? If not, toss a few in and get ready for a whole new list of descriptors! 
Cueing it up...
I have, in the past, used the stopped platter method, which my father swore by. I can go either way, myself, but agree with Twl that the force is negligible, at least with a good cueing device. Heck on my Spacearm, I can trip the lever, walk to my... 
Anyone have modem problems with this site?
THIS IS TOO STRANGE. I had this problem as well. ATT/Motorola Surfboard. My problem has ceased. Maybe it was an ATT thing. Maybe it was these solutions I tried.1) Plug the modem directly into the wall if it is in a surge protector now.2) If you ar... 
Expensive vinyl rig - still not performing ;-
I've spoken to Brian and while he knows some of the folks who designed the Teres, he isn't large on them. likely, though, he can help if it is a setup issue. 
Will our MC for the festivities gain the stage?
Thanks, G m c. Almost caught a buzz in my gain head from that! 
Expensive vinyl rig - still not performing ;-
Tok20000, the talk of DAC comparisons scares me a bit, being more a vinyl nut, but I'd have interest in kibitzing over audio. Saratoga, here. 
Will our MC for the festivities gain the stage?
Yes, Marty, I had had been in e-mail discussions with Tom with respect to the Shelter pickups, among others. I posted here because I thought others may have the same general issues.I had come to some conclusions, based on faulty info I had receive... 
Will our MC for the festivities gain the stage?
I am not sure what I am geting from the line stage, Tom, but I will check. But, if I am getting the same 20dB as you are, then I would have a total of 75dB and be in the same "league", no? 
Digitally remastered vinyl?
Fagen's "Nightfly" IS a good example, Onhwy61. I have a Japanese pressing of this LP it is one of the better sounding LP's I've heard of any kind. Sadly, these examples are MOST rare/ 
Where are you? Do you know what your FM is doing?
Oh, I live in the South Bay Area of California, Silicon Valley. Multipath heaven (hell?). Would be worth sifting through if 99% of it weren't compressed rock, oldies, and classic rock. There is only one classical music FM station that I know of bu... 
Who is your overall favorite guitarist?
The Geo. Goble reference is rather apt, really. Well, maybe not in the context of guitar virtuosity, but.... My uncle has often told the story of being in the military and being stationed with George Gobel. Apparently, he carried around a beat up ... 
would this Deter you from buying used gear????
I'm down with the idea of welding a plate on the back of the unit and declare it mandatory that each owner personally engrave his or her info upon same plate. Some of the items I've seen offered would begin to look like the Stanley Cup. 
Best device for adjusting cartridge overhang.
I, too, have used the Turntable Basics model to good effect both setup-wise and budget-wise. I took a flier and bought one via E-Bay and subsequently found that Turntable Basics had a number of other worthwhile gizmos. Worth a look. 
Who is your overall favorite guitarist?
As soon as I decide on one, I think of others.I like Wes Montogmery A LOT.But, overall, I gotta go with Steve Howe. Too many memories, and he is still going even stronger today. 
Marsh A400s or McCormackDNA225?
I agree with Albert on all three of his views: that the DNA-225 is a great value, that the DNA-225 is reliable, and that Steve McCormack is a great guy who will go out of his way to be helpful.I have owned my DNA-225 for about one year and its per...
