very disappointed about my system setup
Bluebottle,You are not a dummy. A dummy wouldn't ask questions. You'll get this thing working fine, just be patient. It does sound like the power supply is going south, IMHO. You described exactly what happened to my table.Pbb, relax. It's okay. Y...

Pbb,Are you cranky like this all the time? Or did you just have your old flame stolen by a vinyl addict and use this forum for a whipping post?

more help with vinyl..
Hi,I'll give you my best attempt at answering this question and I hope it helps. The only thing I have going for me is my personal experience. Okay, my first turntable was a top-of-the-line Thorens. It's been so long that I forget the model number... 
What's the best isolation system?
Rcrump,I really am interested in your comments about the points since I'm in the process of building a new equipment rack. Would you say that aluminum points for a rack would be the way to go with a mild steel frame? Do you think aluminum would be... 
What's the best isolation system?
Steve,My ideas on isolation? This will anger a lot of folks but here goes. Best: Concrete floor, rigid stand(s) with spikes, 3/4" MDF shelves. Second best: Wall mounted 3/4" MDF shelves on a load bearing wall. Turntables should be isolated from ot... 
how to set Nero Burning room speeds? help
Make a temporary image of the disk to be copied on your hard drive. 
neutrality vs. realism
Every one of the above posters has given descriptions that are right on the money. The interesting part of all these discussions is that it leads me to conclude what I have intuitively known all along. The room and the equipment become one and the... 
the Listening Room
Rives,I have a dedicated listening room. I can have ugly acoustical treatments. I can't move walls in my house. My speakers only go down to 50hz and I don't have an over abundance of power feeding them so maintaining my bottom end is a must. While... 
How much fluid do you use
Zaikesman,Like I said, it's probably overkill. I don't have a bottle of isopropyl in the house to read the list of ingredients. My "facts" are based on interviews with 3 pharmacists and one hospital pathology lab tech. The denatured variety is onl... 
How much fluid do you use
The lack of lanolin. Lanolin is a skin protectant in isopropyl. Once again, I think it's overkill. The additives in denatured alcohol evaporate whereas the lanolin remains. Tap water and moonshine would probably be as good.Twl, there is an uncondi...

Running roughshod over innocents. 
Are your used items selling?
4yanx and Onhwy61,Nothing either of you guys have said offended me. Quite the contrary. It's Suburuguru that gets under my skin with his cute remarks. He doesn't give facts, preferring instead to call names. Only in cyberland does his ilk have the... 
Are your used items selling?
Onhwy61,I agree with some of your proposition. What I take issue with is the claim that G.B.jr. is doing this to take the spotlight off his illegal activities, per Subaruguru. We may see the light someday and allow the rest of the world to interac...
