Bonham’s Squeaky Drum Pedal
The classic “echo” in Whole Lotta Love is a mistake, leaving a room mic turned on. They couldn’t edit it out. If you listen to Since I’ve Been Loving You closely you will hear significant mistakes by JPJ, they recorded the song over and over to ge... 
Bonham’s Squeaky Drum Pedal
Classic Speed King squeak. They all do it pretty much. Very obvious, especially to me. I’m a drummer… cool they kept it in there.  
What caused double posts of same discussion
There is definitely a glitch in the machine. Most posts are doubling for some reason…

One drop. You need the SME oil. There should be a parts kit in the box with all the goodies. Damping fluid, tools, oil etc. You’ll need the setup templates and tools to properly dial in your arm and cart. The V isn’t terribly hard to setup, but th...

After a stint with Covid, back to it with Porcupine Tree: Up The Downstair   
Is this amount of record/tonearm bobbing "normal"
It’s actually tough to tell if the entire platter is actually fluctuating or if it’s just the machining is off giving the illusion it’s the entire platter. I would pull your mat, it looks to be a big contributor in this. Otherwise, what everyone e... 
Roon upgrade
Mine is good… never an issue.  
High end turntables
I think the biggest challenge with any vinyl system is the variable nature of the game. SO many things effect the sound overall it is a bit overwhelming for some new to the game. Having said that, overcoming the hurdles and landing on a sweet soun... 
Newbie Needs Assistance
I’m not sure I would hang up the vinyl idea. There is something special about it, period. There are plenty who will argue that unless you spend a gazzilion dollars on a rig that it just won’t sound good. I disagree. You can do pretty well, but you... 
Where/what is the best place to sell used components
Unless you sell everything face to face, I’m not sure the hassles of shipping, etc are worth it. Personally, I would donate them and write off the donation. It will be worth more overall.

As long as it was put away properly, all the posts closed and locked, belt removed etc, they should be fine. The O-rings are very simple to remove and replace if necessary. Pretty sure you can find them out there if needed. I would definitely repl... 
heatsink temps different between monoblock amps. KRELL FPB 350Mc
It’s possible the bias is off on one or the other, or both. 165 is pretty hot. If it’s that hot at the heat sinks it’s cranking inside. Pass Labs biases their class A amps to run at about 50-55°C as a general norm. That doesn’t necessarily mean an...
