Mark Knopfler Recommendations
pretty much everything he's done is worth having (although I don't have everything). My favorite solo efforts in order are Sailing to Philadelphia; Goldenheart; Ragpicker's Dream.Soundtracks I like are Cal, and Princess Bride - though these are mu... 
Any Pink Triangle experts who can help me?
This is all really helpful, thanks for the input Phil. Your description sounds like perhaps the motor noise I hear is what you described on yours. To me it's a normal motor "whirring" sound, except I've never heard the motor on any turntable. It i... 
Any Pink Triangle experts who can help me?
thanks Phil, mine does have the wall-wart. It's a 12V basic, no brand name, made in China supply. I'm not even sure it's the original. The other guy who has the same table has a PS that's voltage switchable. He said the info he received with his (... 
Any Pink Triangle experts who can help me?
thanks, mine is working, and as far as I can tell the saphire is uncracked. The motor is audibe however, and while it's not so noisy I can hear it from more than 2 ft from the table, any audible noise is unacceptable for a TT as far as I'm concern... 
Any Pink Triangle experts who can help me?
thanks to both of you for your responses. The pictures belong to another guy who is "the other one" who thought he bought an Export. He's been trying to figure out how to assemble his table, which is why he posted the pics in Vinyl Engine. He does... 
Laptop to record LP's?
I got very satisfactory results using IBM 570 laptop and Musicmatch SW. It's a pain if you want to separate tracks, but if you're satisfied with 1 LP side = 1 track, it's just like recording to tape, but better sound quality by far.

Help cleaning LPs, residue left behind
I had a similar problem using Phoenix Solution (with enzymes)bought from Sleeve City. I have since used the NG F2 exclusively and it works great, with no issues of residue, even when I over do it on the fluid. I'm using the NG RCM and vacumm thoro... 
Speltz Anti-cable needs break-in period?
hmmm, Drubin is perceptive. This apostrophe fetish must be catching on, ya think? 
Speaker Daze Budget of 1500-2000
my room is pretty close to that size and my Sttafs are perfect. I have them about 4 1/2ft into the room from the wall, and my listening position is about 4ft in from the back wall. After trying many configs, this was ideal. I added a subwoofer (Re... 
Best amp for GMA Europas?
I recall a thread not long ago discussing what amps people are driving their Europas with. You may want to try a search. 
Home cinema newbie questions...preamp advice
I'm not sure if you'll really get much out of 3 channels vs Stereo. I find the center channel isn't always helpful, or even noticeable. This is especially true if your speakers image well. I do like having the rear channels however, and for that y...

Buying Used-Ever wonder???
