Do I upgrade my cartridge or my turntable
I would upgrade the cartridge. I do like the advice with having the Linn checked out, new belt etc. IMO, the cartridge plays a bigger, more noticeable role in the overall sound than the actual TT (assuming you don't have a chepo, junk TT). Your Li... 
Monster Speaker Cables
I'd be curious to see what's inside the round thingy's at each end of the M2,.2's. I've always heard they are actually nice cables  
What do you like and dislike about vintage Western Electric cables?
So I am guessing I can buy the bulk cable and hook it up as is and let it play a while to see if I like the sound. Then I can finish the build out with spade terminations and out jacket...correct? The WE 2c 10ag sounds like a perfect fir for my Lu... 
"World's Best Cables" vs Audioquest interconnects
I think I may order a pair of the 7awg cables above and compare them to my ZU Mission cables.  
Not selling Cardas cables online again, just wanted to share.....
Here's what I do (and I am sure its not foolproof) it has saved me a couple of times. Place a small dent, scrape mark or something you can take a picture of and compare when you get something back. I've done it with LP's in runout groove. Somethin...

What is the current retail cost of your reference system?
@ghdprentice  I just updated my virtual system :)  
You know when you are dealing with a BS company....
These 7 AWG speaker cables are the only ones you’ll ever need      
What is the current retail cost of your reference system?
Current cost approx $24,500 (retail) For me it's LOTS of money. For audiophiles, I'm sure I have a lower midlevel system  
Did vinyl sales just hit the proverbial brick wall?
Could I make the case that all the "popular" classic records have all been reissued on vinyl (audiophile versions too) and people interested have already purchased them? Thus slower sales of vinyl are the result? Blue Note is now reissuing more ob... 
Mcintosh MC275 alternatives?
No backorders on MC275s if you buy from overseas suppliers LOLOLOL https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804259732450.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.17.4b5f560a5hQxf3&algo_pvid=f6f18372-6ae8-44ff-a03c-d4bc0ee5f068&algo_exp_id=f6f183... 
Made in USA
I’m just a huge fan of Japanese-made products period. I think it stems from my auto plant managing days and visiting Toyota assembly plants. The cultural difference, the level of detail, etc....was so eye-opening to me. I’ve been out of the auto i... 
New SL1210GR enroute. Need cart recommendations
Fremer seemed to like the Elite Concorde in one of his recent Technics reviews  
NEW turntable from Luxman PD-191a, introduced in Japan.
Beautiful TT. Plus, its made in Japan. I wish Luxman would introduce a DD TT
