VAS (Steven Leung) cartridge repair/retipping service?
3 weeks! I like Steve :-)Steve's a good guy. 
What speaker – under $10k – has the best timbre and tonal qualities?
Lots of love for The DeVore Orangutan O/93Not sure if your PrimaLuna Prologue Premium (integrated?) has 16ohm outputs to try. 
Please suggest a really cheap SPDIF coaxial BNC cable for testing if my DAC is working

Why are digital streaming equipment manufacturers refusing to answer me?

What do you take when demoing new gear?
A pee break followed by a large cup of great coffee ;-) 
Solid Stage vs Tube amp
Its always OK to adjust the midrange & tweeter levels on the speaker’s baffle - suit to taste. With a little care, this bared wire can be used in the "Insert/twist" speaker wire receptacles of the L112. Use 2 leads for + and one for -. Be cons...

+1 from chakster and also the Audio-Technica with MicroLine stylus. The stock arm & Headshell would prefer a lighter tracking version while heavier headshells would open you up to the 2gm+ VTF versions (6 one way & half a dozen the other)....

Recommended headshell leads/wires

Sutherland 20/20 v Manley Chinook
+1 on the 20/20. The Sutherland, while good at the extremities, is a midrange king - it is one of those SS pieces that just nails it. Of course, the optional LPS is a requirement. I'm a biased Sutherland Big Loco user. The Manley Chinook is also a...

Meridian M20s are sounding great this evening after a recent recapping. KEF T-33 Tweeters serviced (FerroTec APG 512A ferrofluid) a few years ago. One of these days I'll have room for my loaned out M100 actives . . .
