Any real sonic improvement using 2 or 3 belts on VPI tables?
 I have a TNT three and I found the best improvement by far was to go to dental floss.  I found the belts to degrade the sound so I would have a tough time understanding how more could be better.  
Tonearm comparison, Rega vs Zeta, anyone?
Never  Heard a Zeta but chalk me up as another rega hater.  Always found the hype to far surpass reality in my opinion.  
Repair Linn turntable vs buying a different one
Im with no romance.  It seems like Audio is all about selling the latest greatest upgrade but in my humble opinion often times with dubious results   
Interconnects and non-believers

If you can stretch your budget a little further to just over 3K you can get one that many many users here are very very happy with, even compared to units costing much more. Ever since I purchased my Herron  I have never looked at or considered ev...

I'm sure your 94 year old mother possesses fine hearing to be able to detect all your tweaks🙄

@ozzy you are going to love your new system!!  Carver is a great designer! 
Klipsch vs Infinity
And good tubes don't really sound warm, just more like real, 3 dimensional music.  
Klipsch vs Infinity
I would guess emotiva and klipsch to not be a great match. Klipsch begs for lower power Tubes.  
Bob Carver new tune expected
 I had a friend bring over a Sunfire tube preamplifier and it sounded great.  Sure the phase linear stuff might be crappy but so was all the solid-state stuff from that timeframe.  
Klipsch vs Infinity
 And with the infinities you were are using crappy solid-state amplifiers while with the klipschorns you can use low power tube amplifiers which sound infinitely better  
Why are my woofers pumping?
 Turning down the gain on the phonostage may alleviate the issue somewhat, it did for me previously. Agreed it is not solving the problem but it would be highlighting it less.  Alternatively it should be easy enough to get a rumble filter made wit...
