John DeVore talks about Knob Feel
I'd assume much of this luxurious feel is accomplished by the use of Damping Greases.  Such is common for equipment like Camera Lenses. Binoculars, and such.  I might also guess that such loosey goosey Pots-Dials could be enhanced by the addition... 
Line Conditioning and possible ground issues?
A bit of an update for you to ponder over. I got a Greenwave bundle a couple days ago, came with 2 Filters and a Noise Analyzer.  Did this because I was thinking the Entec Analyzer I have might've been faulty.  So, now comes Test #2.  With no Gr... 
Line Conditioning and possible ground issues?
Erik, you have the right answer. And I am planning on having a qualified Electrician look things over soon, and proceed as required in whatever logical manner.  
Line Conditioning and possible ground issues?
I'll confide: I bought a used Puritan PSM156 with Ultimate Cable, 6 month warranty left, and believe the USA dealer for such has even placed a for sake ad for it here on A-Gon.  I got a good price, and don't disbelieve that the unit is some garb... 
Line Conditioning and possible ground issues?
I breezed through some of Caelin's video.  I gather his gizmo, the Altiera, which he's showcasing will still rely on correct AC.  That this gizmo, and like any-all others such as perhaps the Puritan Groundmaster City, how then can such a unit act... 
Line Conditioning and possible ground issues?
I've been doing some research across the web about such.  Some older equipment never had provision for 3 prong cabling with ground.  Perhaps in these cases and if one had an issue with some ground loop hum, you used a cheater plug and the world wa...

I understand what you say, thank you for your comments.   
Record Cleaner won't clean?? Or is it me?
Adding to what I wrote above, and marathon sessions, it factors down to time invested.  My record collection is relatively meager, about 850 LPs with another few dozen oddballs.  When I bought my VPI 16.5 RCM, and first used it, I then understood... 
Record Cleaner won't clean?? Or is it me?
The Osage Listener Select Brushes are very good.  I have 4 of them.  In fact they were given to me by Jim Pendelton of Osage Audio (thank you again Jim) the maker of AIVS Record Cleaners.   His record cleaning products IMO have no peer, and are ...

VPI Signature 21 Lubricate
Here is what MusicDirect says, and for the Inverted Bearings I've used Super Lube Grease for many things with various hobbies besides audio. Easy to find, reasonably priced are two plusses. As for non-inverted VPI Bearings, and viscosity require... 
VPI Signature 21 Lubricate
Understanding Lubricants for Tunrtable Bearings is not difficult.  Grease required for all VPI Inverted Bearing designs, Oil for their non-inverted.   Some say to avoid Oils that may have detergents in them, which is basically all Motor Oils.  Y... 
Record Cleaner won't clean?? Or is it me?
Yeah, if you're cleaning records that were likely involved in a few Pizza Parties, quite trashed thrift finds, you can't expect a quick one step process doing much. As mentioned, no brush gets in the groove, and concur, a CF Anti-Static Brush is ... 
Denafrips Terminator II NOS/OS issues
I thank you again for your help! I combed the web for knowledge, and Denafrips themselves are a total joke.  Nothing they ever wrote or shown in videos help, jokers! And going on facebook, the Denafrips Group, they did zero for me, poked fun at ...
