I am not sure a week out if you guys will come back to this but what about mxing and matching these products?I have thought the homebrew as an everyday cleaner was good and the folks at LAST told me it would work well with their Power Cleaner and ... 
How do you get Good Sound from a PC ?
Not an answer here but another question.Wonder often if the wiring inbetween thse higher performing elements justifies cost. 
Cartridge suggestions for Rega 25
Try the Grado anyway.I have been told that the hum problem only happens on 25% of the tables.I am not usr where but you could get a sheet of mu-metal and cut a smaller circle of the stuff for when arm comes near center/motor.I have a Sonata and lo... 
Beginner in Vinyl - How far should I go?
You need to get out of the mass market or junk stuff.I hadn't used my B&O turnatable since early 80's and then the jazz collecting bug made me break down and buy a Rega 2 w/cheapo Dynavector made for NAD.Blew me away.So much better,so little s... 
Suspended vs. nonsuspended TT?
Excellent question but I think if you are willing to spend the dough on one of these tables then an active siesmic sink or other solution may make sense.I have a an Aries extended and 12.5 but was thinking of downsizing and pocketing a few bucks (...

PV-10, PV-11, PV-12, SFL-1 Sig or LS2? Help
There is also I believe still a BAT VK3 for $850 here on 'Gon.Big wide stage and BAT build quality.Also look for older stuff without the hype and sex appeal.I am keeping for now a Muse Model 1 which sold for $2500 9 years ago that has a massive se...
