Mark Levinson 333……cap problems (not an isolated case)………enough said…… POS 
Linn Sondek LP12 impressions
I no longer run a Linn LP12, but I respect the brand and its longevity and feel no need to disparage their users or the name. 
3 matched sets. 2 'bias sides' which go with which
I am not familiar with your amp, but you would want to put tubes 1, 3 and 5 in the left channel and tubes 2, 4, and 6 in the right channel. What you are attempting to do is balance the left and right channels. Each matched pair is split up between... 
VPI Classic Platter - Polishing??
Aluminum will tarnish over time. 
New VPI 3D Arm
Thanks Stringreen. Does your old 10.5 have the stainless steel arm tube along with the new all stainless steel bearing cap?I haven't seen any numbers on the 3D arm, does it feel light to the touch or does it feel like a regular JMW in weight? One ... 
New VPI 3D Arm
Stringreen, do you know if the Discovery wire used in the 3D arm is the same Discovery wire used in the other VPI arms? When Harry said 2 months for wire break-in, did he give an hour estimate also? It looks like the azimuth ring on the 3D is fixe... 
New VPI 3D Arm
VPI should offer a free upgrade program for their 3D arm for all early adopters. Since the arm’s launch, there has been both stainless steel and brass used for the side weights and counter weight and now I hear that a revised counter weight is in ...

TTW MOMENTUS MOMENTUS "The MONSTER" Rim Drive
I would think that with a rim drive o-ring with a durometer of about 60 slightly pressed against an 80lbs platter would cancel out any slight out-of-roundness of the o-ring. But if not, a $25K table should come with a high precision/machined O-rin...

Krell Cipher Issues?
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me thrice, return for a full refund 
Best Speakers for 10' x 12' room?
I would also include the Dynaudio Confidence C1 speakers on your list of candidates. They also work well with Mac gear. 
Long cables from turntable or phono stage
I doubt that you will get any support in favor of long IC between the table and phono. I don't even like the idea of a long IC between the phone and pre. 
TTW MOMENTUS MOMENTUS "The MONSTER" Rim Drive
Just read the TT description. Most TT manufactures would need to sub contract the multi-axis machining to an outside firm due to the capital cost of said machine. Since TTW’s primary business is manufacturing for the aerospace industry, they are u...
