Help Me Interim Speakers Suggestions?
Klipsch Reference series RB-5 two way tractix horn with 96db, 8 ohms, 48 > 20khz. Can be ordered new from at least three places with warranty for less than 600 online.Very good speakers; great construction. 
Review: REL Acoustics Strata mkIII Subwoofer
Shhh..you will drive up the price of used ones! Damn good product. 
Audiocraft AC400/4400.....need help
Turns out there is a heavy counterweight available for this arm; fellow at Axxis advised me of this. It costs 150 and is available; this is why the cartridge did not work, perhaps. The Dl103R is not a very heavy cartridge, though; hmmm. 
money best spent on better dac, transport, preamp?
Check out a used Cal Audio Delta transport and Alpha DAC; wonderful units for way less than a grand used. 
Monitor recommendations with sensitivity =90
klipsch reference series with the RB-5 looking like the best of the medium sized moniters. These can be had for less than 600 inc shipping in USA 48 states with warranty. Very efficient at 96db and 8 ohms, rated to 48hz. 
Recommendations for 93+ DB efficient moniters
What about the Reference 3A virtuoso models? It has similar sensitivity numbers but is substantially more expensive new; used the increase is not earth shattering IF the performance over the diCapo warrants the outlay. 
Recommendations for 93+ DB efficient moniters
I figure I can hang them from the ceiling if they are rear ported. I did that for a pair of Linn Tukans (rear ported small moniter) in a home theatre setup and they sound great; just a bit of bass boost from they ceiling. Thank for the advice on t... 
Audio Note Soro from 97, still current?
Basically, the OTO uses the EL34 tube which many people like. I adored my P2SE with the 6L6 tubes and the extra power (17 watts vs 10 for the OTO) was appreciated when powering medium efficiency speakers such as the Spendor SP 2/3 or low efficienc... 
Is the Dynavector DV 10x5 as good as they Say?
Where does one contact these people to acquire these cartridges? 
Tonearm rewire- Options?
If you do not wish to have silver wire in the RB you can buy the Audio Note RB250 version and it is wired with audio note copper wire. My understanding is that the Audio Note version of the arms is wired as a new arm at Rega. In other words, Audio... 
Am I really smart or really stupid?
You would notice the difference between the Yamaha C2 and the C2A preamplifier. The C2A was a major improvement over the C2 and is reflected in used prices. This old stuff sounds great with one caveat: it is approaching 30 years old and you have t... 
To Hot to Handle?
I solved the problem by sticking with a SET 300B amplifier and using headphones when it is too hot to run the amp! That is only a couple of weeks per year in the SF Bay Area thank The Gods (for they are many). 
Which pre amp s suites my YBA 1 Alpha hc amp?
Why not the obvious and a YBA preamp? 
Audio Note Soro from 97, still current?
Somewhat but I am not an electrical expert. Basically, it is a M1 preamplifier (either line or phono) and the P2SE amplifier. For a person on a budget it is hard to go wrong with one of these for 1200 used. It is a very quiet amplifier with excell... 
Moving up from Denon DP72 ?
Would depend on what sort of arm and cartridge you are going to run on the Aries
