What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1
Glad to hear that did the trick! Enjoy!! 
Review: Sempersonus TE-2 Idler-Type Turntable System (TW Raven 12/Charisma Signature One)
@dover Thanks so much! Agreed on the nomenclature. I have chosen to refer to the TE-2 as an "idler-type" drive system because there is no idler wheel but I suppose "inner rim drive" is probably most accurate. Paulo calls it an "epicyclic" drive bu... 
Review: Sempersonus TE-2 Idler-Type Turntable System (TW Raven 12/Charisma Signature One)
Update:I did some research looking for turntable feet that would improve on the performance and aesthetics of those supplied by Sempersonus for the TE-2. After exploring various options I settled on a set of Revopods by Arya Audio. I received and ... 
What tube amp for Harbeth 40.1
All tube amps do not run hot. The LTA ZOTL amps by design generate far less heat than traditional tube amps and the tubes last far longer. They are perhaps the most practical tube amps for listeners who may be hesitant to go with tubes. In additio... 
Mint LP Best Protractor
Also found the Mint challenging to use with my VPI Scout and sold it. Would like to try a Smart Tractor but can’t justify the coin since the tools that came with my 12” TW Raven work very well. 
Manufacturers with Excellent customer service
Surprised Keith Herron hasn’t shown up yet—the best! Also great experience with LTA and Lou at Daedalus. My recent purchase with Paulo at Sempersonus, maker of a very fine idler-type turntable was remarkably pleasant and professional. All wonderfu... 
PS Audio BHK versus Herron VTSP-3A(ro2)
I am using both Herron pieces with a 15 foot run of RCA interconnects to my LTA UL No Problem! 
Bach - Goldberg Variations you favourite
Would it be considered a hijack if I asked people to share their favorite versions of Chopin “Nocturnes”? I fell for these with Rubinstein’s version on RCA then moved on to Moravec’s CD reissued Conossiuer Society recordings. Recently bought Maria... 
Bach - Goldberg Variations you favourite
I like Simone Dinnerstein's version and Ito Ema's version on vinyl from MA recordings. 
The Best Isolation/ Vibration Footers per component - what's your experience?
I just ordered a set of Revopods to try under my turntable. I'll circle back and let everyone know how it goes. 
A speaker audio journey over: Classic Audio Loudspeakers T1.5 Reference = End game
Great review—thanks for taking the time to give us a complete picture. Heard these at CAF and was impressed. If I ever have the room they would be at the top of my list along with a pair of Sound Labs. Enjoy!! 
Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1
Big Harbeth fan. Heard them all and owned the C-7s for many years. the M40 is an amazing full range speaker--one of my favorites of all time. IMHO, too big for your room--you won't get the best from them--they like room to breath like all Harbeth ...
