Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice?
thecarpathian: I need to find a thumb drive loaded with older pics and then figure out how to download it to the iMac. I’m up for rotating cat pic’s with my listed system, just need to find the data and figure a few things out first. There are ...

How to copy a picture
soix: If the pic is on your iPad and you can do a split screen you could try "dragging" the pic to A’Gon’s system pics. If it works direct the person to your system page here.   DeKay

cannula: I was suggesting starting with a new/different cartridge (only) fo a start. A cartridge with a bit more detail and jump factor may be all you need. Your TT is reviewed as being slightly smoother than typical non-suspended decks in its ... 
How to copy a picture
Just figured out how to add pics to listed system, but only have cat pics (no gear pics) and I don't even know how to use our new cameras, including the one in the iPod.   DeKay  
How to copy a picture
Soix: Add the pic from your computer to the space next to your moniker (I just added a pic of one of our cats - see). Once done hold the "control" key down and click on the pic selecting "copy image address" and use that link to add it to a post...

With what you have maybe start by simply trying another cartridge with enough output to mate with your current Moon? Based upon reviews the Performance V2 can easily be bettered (the Ace/Concept have stellar reviews). If this does it then good (...

What are you running now? Having used Thorens/SME combos my entire adult life I would start by comparing their new 1600/1601 decks to some of the non-suspended models you list. The 1601 has automatic lift and platter stop @ the end of play, but ... 
Cheapest but good cables….
The Micca cables Lak mentions in the above referenced thread are worth try. I've been running a 6' pair at the computer since mid October, 2022. It's not a high end  system, but it's a nice sounding nearfield setup. I've used Kimber 4VS and 4TC... 
Why is it that every time, lately, that I'm interested in a thread...
fertguy: MC came back for a little over 2 weeks in late Oct/early Nov, 2022 and then disappeared again. He's currently listed as suspended.   DeKay  
Why don't higher end amplifiers come with a separate power chassis?
My Musical Fidelity X-A1 has a separate toroidal power supply (its X-A2 bigger brother came with one as well). Not super high end but a very nice "tube-like" sounding SS amp from 20+ years ago. I just need a set of metric Allen wrenches and some... 
To Tube or not to Tube, that is the question
What preamp(s) are you using? Here is a Bottlehead tube line stage preamp kit that interests me.   DeKay

Found a ST35 kit in stock, but not familiar with it. http://www.tubes4hifi.com/ST35.htm DeKay  
To Tube or not to Tube, that is the question
If the ACA's work with the F6's you might look into the Elekit 6L6 based single ended amp kit. It's well reviewed and still available at various vendors for around $900 (link is for details/specs). Looks like a lot of the amp "kits" are out of s... 
Please tell me the wait will be work it......my rack
My wife asked me why there were many, many, many Google searches for "racks" on the computer. I replied "research".   DeKay
