Best MC step up transformer
@ rauliruegas   I agree sir, but that wasnt the question.   
Best MC step up transformer
The best, well thats debatable. As mentioned by leemark, the legendary Stevens and Billington tx103 SUT's are as good as it gets. But you can only buy them through Music First now in their own device. I owned the Bent Audio SUT's that used the Ste...

Veritas Cables a new brand that I found
Well bummer. I was looking at getting Veritas Argentum X balanced cables for my Aric Audio Motherlode XL which will arrive several months from now. All the AMart ads are gone. So now its web site shopping and the prices went up. My first choice wa... 
Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype)
We are in a truly dark age similar to what my parents grew up in during the 50s in the darkest phase of Communism when you had to call a monster a beauty pageant. The horse s**t you and others continue to post on this audio forum stinks up thread... 
Spatial Audio Raven Preamp
Geez,it went from $5,495 in August, to $6,395, with a proposed $150 tariff to be passed on to potential customers. $That's a $1,050 price increase in six months.   
Preamp advice
@ vthokie83, What else steered you away from the BAT VK-80 to the Mother Lode? I was just looking into the BAT very recently, as well as the VAC Renaissance MK V. Both very fine pre amps. I was surprised to see RCA's on the BAT, I thought they we... 
The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"!
How about power cords. What are you guys using on your Coda amp?   
The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"!
@ sim_audio_nerd, are there locations where you can shop for items like the volume control knob? One of my friends had new knobs milled out of brass for his Prima Luna amp. As I recall it wasn't cheap, but a very nice improvement.

Thanks guys for the helpful responses. I had no doubts about the LTA and Arics Mother Lode pre amps. Another plus for me is the single box design of the LTA, the two box design is a challenge for placement for me, but not out of the question.  @j...

@Teajay (Terry London), Mr. London, if you are still monitoring this thread, what are your top recommendations for pre amps that match well with the S5.5? I have the amp but I am having some difficulty in pre amp shopping understanding what is a ... 
Wattgate IEC does not fit tight.
I use the entry level FURUTECH Audio FI-15 Plus IEC's. They are $50-$55 on eBay. They fit butt tight and dont move, plus high quality.   
Modular LP record storage suggestions
The Boltz units look like a perfect solution that will fit in my office, and be bomb proof. But you guys have scared me off of them, and their website is slower than molasses. Ikea, looks like flimsy junk that ends up out on the curb.

@ minatophase3 I just got around to installing the two Acme Audio Labs 12 amp fuses. The factory fuses however are 16 amp, not 12 amp. So I cant use these two Acme fuses, wrong value. So if you installed 12 amp as you posted, you used the wrong v...
