Dust cover up or down?
I don't use it at all. In fact my Avid Ingenium does not even come with one. On my Music Hall MMF-7.3, I even removed the dust cover hinges....

@bdp24 no problem, you had me worried! I cannot say for certain that it was or was not scratched out by him, but like I said, I only found that one....I’d still have to check like 20 something others I bought...yes, fake stereo seldom sounds very ... 
Turn off or leave on?
Everything off when not using, especially when not listening for an extended period of time, due to work etc..in fact, I shut down all power conditioners and even shut off the breaker. The only detriment is a long Warm up period, especially with m...

Recording vinyl woes
I’d say Ebay is your friend. I have bought countless brand new blank cassette tapes, cd-r’s, blank mini disc’s, you name it. All still factory sealed and In good usable/functioning shape. I do prefer to put my vinyl on high quality cassette tapes,... 
Is a separate phono pre really necessary?
I prefer a tubed phono stage, so i opt for a separate. There are not too many tubed phono stages built into integrated amps. Most use the tubes in the line out sections only.

Hmm, I have not noticed anything amiss in the runout grooves of any of my "better records". Id have to say, his records do sound better. I’ve spent what amounts to a small fortune on his records, and I’ve been very satisfied with what I received.

Makes me wonder about the white hot stamper of led zep 11, I mean I’m sure to be chosen as the crown jewel winner of the shootout, which I assume was compared to other RL’s, it must be something special.....I guess you would then own the King of R...

I have that and it is terrible, no bass detail or texture ... it can’t compare to the RL.... I may give the JP remaster to my daughter...it has no life to it at all...Michael Fremer compared numerous pressings of this record, the RL came out on to...

I am generally looking for feedback on whether this record for sale at better records is worth the $2499 asking price...will it retain or even go up in value due to the fact that it is not only a good copy, but also a "white hot Stamper"? A good i...

Jeez excuse me for living, so I learned something, I’m not an English major, and it was not a joke or no joke, stole that from Biden. People have butchered posts far worse than mine....the point I’m trying to make is its a crazy expensive record a...
