What % Of Your System Are Your Cables?
About 25% for me.   
Who out there wants to, or has, validated an amazing cable find?
VH Pulsar, RCA's & Furutech a36, Speaker wire. The closest I came to a natural sound in my system.  
What Holiday Gifts did you ask for or Give to Yourself?
Good Luck @elliottbnewcombjr ! Just scored a pair of Statement Silver Phono Cables, to go from my phono to my preamp. As I have them coming from my Table to the phono amp.   
Single Sub Position
I agree with @tmortsd, I always had mine to the rear & in the corner of my old house. Then moved to where I am now & put it to rear right on the side of the couch. I the bought another sub, but smaller & put it on the other side of the... 
Onkyo/Dirac

2- Little Fwends Disco versions, only because they come in black, from my Daughter. On their way from the UK, should be here on Tues.

Time for a new cartridge
+1 for;  Vas Nova and you can upgrade the standard to better cantilever and stylus if you desire. Harry from VPI recommends. Also EMT makes phenomenal carts.  
Phono preamp for a Denon 103R cartridge.
@zarf I have 2 - 103-r's in my stash. 1 is a VAS upgrade & the other is original. Both are setup for my EMT 948 & it has its's own preamp card. Before the EMT, I was bouncing around the idea for my Technics & read a lot of reviews of t...
