Can we have an "Ask Sean" catagory?
Where have I seen something that was an original idea of yours that has been implemented by a manufacturer? Not being mean, just wondering where you handywork lies?

Damping Vibration - Friend or Foe?
It sounds like Sean needs a bunny! Seriously, it is easy to criticize. As for myself, I welcome manufacturer participation. I'd rather have the opinion of a man that believes in himself enough to take the risk in our tiny market, than from an Inte... 
Why was Audiogon started?
I'm sorry, Elizabeth, that you don't understand my value of time, but this doesn't give you the right or an excuse to call me a Bigot, to question how I spend time with my Family (who I'd rather spend time with than dig through dirty boxes at a Th...

VPI fluid contains Iso-propyl alcohol. I'm not sure if the contact area parts are alcohol safe, whether or not the alcohol will deteriorate the parts. I'd suggest using a good alcohol free record cleaning solution like Record Research Labs. Check ...

If you want a real laugh, get a copy of the Mapleshade catalog. Funny stuff. He obviously has a high opinion of himself. 
My vote for Tweak of the Week
Knob job? Sounds like $20 of machining on a $5 piece of Beechwood, covered by $4 of "special" lacquer. Considering they sell for $485 each, I'm not sure that they are making enough profit.
