Walker Audio Proscenium Turntable: Photo Essay
Thanks for the photo updates. It's nice to see clearly what you know you can't have. However, I'd never opt for a Walker analogue setup: He's such a proficient tweaker that any adjusting on your part would probably hurt the sound instead of help. ...

I'm New To Vinyl - Which Turntable Should I Buy?
$2,000 dollars? Ok, I'm going to assume audiophile used will work for you and that you want the 'tried and true'. Well, here's some ways to get away with 2k...(hey, that rhymed...neat)1. VPI HW 19 MK IV/SAMA/PLC. For an arm, choose a BritAudio 1 o... 
Organ CDs with really deep bass
Got one that 's hard to find: it's a CD that came with BBC Classical Magazine back in 1998. It's Wayne Marshall playing Liszt, Frank, Malcolm Bruno and Bach. Mastered by Naim (I think), this cd gets loud on the Liszt.Marty

Denon 103R cart with Scoutmaster and Black Cube SE
Lornoah, I'm planning to get a standard 103 for my system very soon. I have a standard Black Cube currently running the 301 at .3mv output. See no problems with it handling .25mv output. From where I stand, I think you will be happy. I know I wil... 
Sick of static-y Rega felt mat

Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
I drive a 1997 Honda Accord SE. I also own a 1987 Honda Accord LXI. I could afford an Acura or the such, but I'd rather just get a good built car (why I get so many Hondas....just MHO) that lasts. I will have more money to spend on my music over t... 
low-output moving coil suitable for Lehmann Cube?
I use a Denon 301 Mk. II (0.4 mv) with a standard Black Cube and works fine. In it's MC stage, you get 61 DB gain. For that figure, stick to carts at 0.26 or better (no lower than the Dynavector 17D).I am going to upgrade the power cord and have s... 
Cartridge Recommendation
I'd push towards either a Goldring Eroica H or a Denon 160. The Denon is better and natural. The Eroica is a bit warmer and 'lush/romantic' sounding. Grado Ref Platinum is always an option but it's colder. If you really want the best, goto Audiocu...
