In my quest to buy my retirement preamp 4 years ago, settling on the Lamm LL2.1 Deluxe, I went through about 7 preamps and the only one that in my mind that rivaled the Lamm was the First Sound Presence which I believe can be had with a remote. In... 
A Hypothetical Analogy Between Fake IDs and Audiology Tests
Don't know about those fake IDs, from Louisiana, if you could walk in, you got served. 
Equipment Warm up, but What About Listener Warm up?
I believe that the equipment warm up and the listeners warmup go hand in hand and both are creditable. 
Eric Clapton Unplugged Horribly Mispressed
Well if nothing else, it's sure to be a conversation piece. Wonder what value could be placed on the novelty of the mistake, if any? 
can anyone recommend a person in LA area to pay to install a tricky Koetsu cartridge
BTW, nice cart. What table/arm are you installing it on?

The Koetsu RSP is no harder or easier than any other cartridge install, so if you have any experience in this, don't fret. On the other hand if you have no experience, now would be a good time to get acquainted with the process as those before hav... 
Wow an old album that rocked your world

To guard stylus or not?
Always install my stylus guards after playing music, too many things going on in my house to leave to chance, cat, dog, 7 year old, me and cleaning lady. Have a Grace F9 OCL stylus coming for my back up cart upstairs and have already built a stylu...

@whitestix , bet your vinyl sounds like crap on that oppo. 
Beware of Wayne's audio - Poor product quality & worst business ethics
VPI made several platers 11.5 inch for the scout and 12 inch for the rest of their line, even then their ring, I believe, only worked with the platters with the grove, which I do not think the Waynes piece accommodates like the VPI does. A friend ...
