A new way of adjusting anti skate!
@benjieTotally agree with you post.  Without the setup tools I have acquired including my WallySkater, SmarTractor, and Fozgometer, I would not be near the setup precision that allow my tonearms and cartridges to perform at their peak.   
Acoustic panels: ATS vs GIK
I have used ATS panels with the Guilford upgrade for many years.  Well constructed and beautiful accent to the room.  I have two corner bass traps, 4 - 2’ x 2’ x 2”, 4 - 2’ x 4’ x 2”, 2 - 2’ x 2’ x 4” panels in my 14’ x 16’ x 8’ dedicated room. I ... 
Will streaming ever be "audiophile-worthy"?
Qobuz streamed through Roon on my new Wolf Alpha 3SX has brought digital to a new level in my system.  I agree with Cleeds that it is not replacing my LPs either but there is a great audiophile experience available in streaming today.  
Cartridge suggestions for SME Turntable

Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
This continues to be a great post Prof.  I moved from Thiel 2.4 to the Spendor D9 a little over a year ago.  Both the Thiels and the D9 are extended on top but capable of becoming bright...  My system addressed those propensities with a tube pream...

Best SUT For Van Den Hul Crimson Stradivarius cartridge
Another source to consider is Bob’s Devices. I have his Blue Sky 10 SUT that is switchable between 1:5 or 1:10. https://www.bobsdevices.com/product-page/sky-cinemag 
Anyone with experience with Spendor D9's?
@jjss49 I would say the sound palette has moved slightly in that direction and they have an increased ability to reveal upstream issues compared to my experience with the classic Spendors.  The D9s perform as a very neutral and slightly sweet tran... 
Anyone with experience with Spendor D9's?
The D9s are very different than the more traditional “Spendor” sound you may be expecting, especially as you want to compare them to other British “usual suspects”. In the D7 and D9 Spendor was looking more to a neutral to slightly detailed presen...

MC or MM + SUT?
Your statement of “I have a few of each type” would lead me to look at the MM/MC phono preamp option.  The premise for that choice would be the multiple MC cartridges and their individual requirements for optimal performance would not necessarily ... 
Miyajima MADAKE experience
I agree with chaster on the metal tube since it is no longer included in the more recent packaging box.  I have just received a new Origin Live Enterprise Mk4 tonearm and mounted my Madake.  I use the screws included with the cartridge and place t...
