How far is your SUT from your Phono Pre/Preamp?
I use a .5 meter Atlas Elements Integra phono specific cable that has very low capacitance between the SUT and the phono preamp. Also, I do Not ground my SUT, as the turntable is already grounded to the phono preamp. Adding too many grounds will a... 
Tannoy Everyone?! with Leben CS600 or Pass XA25/30.5?
The best Tannoys are those with Alnico magnets and the pepper pot tweeter. Unfortunately  you will need to mortgage the house to afford, at least I would have to. I'll have to be happy with the Eatons for now.  
New Hemingway Audio Power Cables WORLD's BEST ???
Same as "World's Best Pizza"!  
What difference do power cables make?

I bought a brand new Cyrus CdT transport from TMR. It took forever to get it, but not in any way their fault, just the times we live in. I dealt with Mario who is a very nice person. He gave me a great deal on the Cyrus!  
Choosing the right SUT for my setup
