Dynavector XV-1S ---is it overkill for my system?
Best bang for your buck is a tonearm or phono preamp upgrade.

>>02-21-12: MaxnewidI love Jeff Beck, but Clapton and Young's music is more commercially accessible<<Commercially accessible was never mentioned in your earlier post. But as long as the rules are open ended, as a guitarist only Neil Yo... 
Esoteric K03
I've had a K-03 here for over a year and used it with USB, Coax, redbook and SACD. It's a wonderful machine. The only downside is the amount of time required to really sing.I wouldn't pay too much attention to the rookie at tas.Dealer disclosure 
Has anyone used Supra AC connectors ???
What's best for you isn't necessarily right for everybody else.Failure to understand this is a very common rookie mistake and you've made it time after time in this and other threads.With more experience you'll understand.

>>02-20-12: Maxnewidbut Clapton and maybe Neil Young are probably the only living guitar players whose body of works compare to Jimmy Page.<<I believe fans of Jeff Beck will take issue with your mistake. 
Proper tracking force for the AT 150 MLX
The 150 MLX should track flawlessly at 1.5g. This is what I use in my Technics SL-1210M5G which has a very pedestrian tonearm. If you're having tracking problems, I would check tonearm alignment and/or anti-skating setting.

Best Rock Album in 2011
I have "Low Country Blues" on vinyl.The recording quality is fair to poor. Sounds as if it was recorded in a closet. Very muffled and lacking dynamics. 
Differences between SR Tesla and Supra Sword
There is absolutely no relationship between expensive cables and what an owner will prefer. All cables are system and listener dependentTo keep spewing that "more expensive is better" smacks of complete inexperience.But you do it well. 
Recommendation for Cartridge upgrade
Audio Technica AT-150MLX.Better than any high output moving coil at its' price.By leaps and bounds.Dealer disclaimer

Actually you could be this smart when you've had 52 years experience.But I doubt it. 
Spectron vs any good tube amp.
>>02-13-12: Orpheus10I think it should be the best; especially the 300B SET.<<I prefer the PX-25, 2A3, and 45 SET to a 300B whenever the speaker permits.

Snake Oil. 
Psvane Teflon capacitors real or fakes?
I'm waiting for Rachel to exit the bunker and re-start the spin cycle.Slice it thick or thin, it's still baloney. 
Dont laugh
The cable industry is full of salesmanship, smoke/mirrors, and snake oil. The positive correlation between price and performance is minimal. The fat teds of the world don't want you to believe this and develop gimmick after gimmick such as quantum...
