Speaker cable advice
Third the Clear Day Cable suggestion. Plus Paul is a great guy to deal with. With the trial offer, there's nothing to lose. 
Turntable speed accuracy
Dear Raul: If one has built a turntable than which none greater can be conceived, then there's no need to listen to others, except as a form of idle amusement.

Dear Halcro: I could listen to you reading the phone book and find it gripping. You speak with a deliberateness and cadence of several philosophy professors I know. Put differently, you're the John Gielgud of the audio world. More videos! 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Acman3: neither. I was just an unaffiliated messenger. Seemed like something who reads this thread would want, so I passed on the info. Evidently someone wanted it badly. I am not a cart collector and I have many more than I can use as it is, e.g....

stuff your turkey with the latest: m320 strMy turkey runneth o'er with MM carts already and at nearly $500 more than the 420, which I bought, I'm out of that game. But if Raul's right, and he's never steered me wrong, surely someone should gobble ... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
I don't dare buy a stethoscope for fear of feeding the neurosis. What if I heard some noise from underneath the platter? I wouldn't be able to sleep until I eradicated it. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Raul: I took the recent ribbings to be jokes, so carry on. I for one would like to read, as always, about your most recent findings. Are you suggesting that the LOMC in question can be gotten for under $200 or that some LOMCs can be gotten fo...

Oh, I didn't see that. Are they having people wait as they scour the globe for fresh samples?

Thanks, Raul, for the headshell wire recommendation. 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
I had close to that issue with my CD player. I used to max out at around 10, which gave me very loud, but not ear splitting levels. Now I'm at 12 with loud (so my wife says) but comfortable levels. I don't know why or when the change. I have chang... 
Removable headshells 101
I'm looking to upgrade my headshell leads to silver wire. Anyone have recommendations? Are the Van den Hul leads that use MCS 150m good? What about MCS 300? 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Thank you Griffithds! Done. I tried your xacto knife idea and while I couldn't cut off the square (that plastic is very hard), I thinned it out enough to make drilling the 4 holes an easy proposition. I've listened to only one side of a record aft... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Griffithds: How did you accomplish this? I've read about this before and in fact the guy I bought my azden cart from cut off the pins from the p-mount adapter and said he attached his leads through the hole and directly onto the cartridge pins. Fo... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
I have no doubt that Lewm is right regarding the vintage Technics and Denons. But the Victors may present a different proposition since there weren't as many made and it's unclear, to me at least, that subsequent JVC/Victor tables can be cannibali...
