Is Jim Smith's Book"Get Better Sound"Best Book ?
An associate has loaned me Toole's recent book on loudspeakers and listening rooms and have almost finished it. A bracing alternative to much that passes as common wisdom. 
Grading Guidelines for Reel-to-Reel Tape
They have reel to reels on Discogs.com, perhaps they have suggestions. 
Dallas (Fort Worth) Audiophile Club - we meet every month or every other month
Do you listen before or after dinner? 
ZL Technologies Cables from Korea, from the lead designer of Allnic Audio Labs.
You might want to talk to Albert Porter about his success with the silver Purist cables. 
What about diamond cantilever/stylus combo
Perhaps this is an issue more about customer perception than glue. Do you really believe Soundsmith customers are ignorant of what they are buying? For a bit less than 500$, their clients are able to enjoy an experience that to many may be indisti...

Speakers under $5000 maintained a reputation for quality sound over the last 15 years.
Dali Euphonia MS-4 worked for me.

SME 312S issue

SME 312S issue
Seems like I have figured out a way to barely tilt the assembly up a little by loosening the screws at the base of the rails. This seems to have eliminated the brushing issue, now to see whether the mistracking is reduced. Guessing I may have to c...
