| Survey-What is your most used source? Interesting,not many post for analog.I ustiliize my VPI MK3 with Morch Arm and Grado Reference Cartridge about 99% of the time and wipes out I think any CD player I ever heard regardless of price,But I haven't heard all of the high end CD players ... | |
| Best Used $1,200 Table Arm Combo? I bought a VPIMK3 with a Morch UP-4 Arm for $1,150.00and have never looked back.The sound quality is outstanding and as budget permits I can upgrade with Aries Platter,SDS,and outer ring clamp. | |

| Transparent , Kubala , Luminous , or RS Poiema If money is not an issue I would try The Dominous Speaker Cable from PAD.If its anything like their Interconnect that would be something worth auditioning IMO.I know you don't ask about this in your post,But just thought I would mention it. | |
| Power port, Venom, Watt Gate, or What? Funny that the posts so far don't state any obvious improvments.I received one Porter Port Outlet,which I plug my Monster Power Conditioner Power strip into as well as my turntable.The sound quality improvement jumped out on my system big time.The... | |

| importance of phono cartridge Well another factor to consider is the quality of turntable setup.I noticed that when everything is set up just exactly correct with my Wally Tracker alignment mirror the sound just improves so so much on the front end.But with that said the large... | |
| JBL L300 Summit vs. Olympus w/S8R system I don't understand the previous posts.A JBL Summit 300 is a very high effecient horn loaded speaker it should not require very much amp power at all unless you want night club disco levels at 200 watts per channel.50 watts per side should be more ... | |
