Amp Selection for Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Concert Grand
Plinius SA-100 in class A drives a pair of VA Baby Beethoven beautifully in a system owned by a member of my local audio society.  Many hours of fatigue free listening.   
Dust cap pushed in by kiddos... best home remedy?
Vacuum with light suction (open side vent on hose if it has one).  Warm the cap very lightly with a hair dryer first to make it a little more plyable.  
Pono was the best SS headphone amp I ever heard
Try the Ayre Codex but only with the balanced output.  Similar circuit that Ayre designed for the Codex.  Not very interesting until you acquire a special balanced cable to use with two 3.5mm plugs.  Same balanced setup you can do on a Pono.  Huge... 
Well... guess I have to jump in the rabbit hole of speaker cables... lol
What is the rest of your system? Is it the cables or just the T10s revealing additional upstream issues that need to be evaluated again...  Try the loaned cables and if the raspy edge is gone then there are cables (beside the loaned pair) that may... 
Herron VTPH-2A / Origin Live Conqueror / Koetsu Black Goldline
I’m excited to hear about the positive changes you are experiencing.  I do have an Origin Live Resolution table with the new Light Speed Control update and an Origin Live Illustrious mk3c tonearm.  These sing with an Ortofon Windfeld Ti.

In praise of moderation

Best tools to calibrate TT motor actual speed?
Glad I could help and certainly enjoyed meeting you and you lovely wife. 
Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9
Congratulations on receiving your D9s. They will sound good out of the box but get better after a few hundred hours.  Mine even sounded a little worse around 50 hours but that could have been my over analysis.  They respond to room placement and s...

Hello neighbor.  I also live on Fleming Island.   Hibernia Plantaion.   
Could I be a Retail Wretch?
I feel sad that the OP is not willing to acknowledge there is an incurred  cost to the local store when they share their time and expertise.  He places no value on this so is not willing to pay a slightly elevated price following proper negotiatio...

I am in Jacksonville. I would be happy to loan you my KAB for you to try. 
Best tools to calibrate TT motor actual speed?
I agree with the KAB.  It is all I have used for the past few years until Origin Live’s LSC upgrade(Light speed control) and now I have no noticeable variation.  Where are you located?

Attended his show in St Augustine FL on this tour.  One of his best that I have seen.   
Amp for LS50
I had my LS50s running off my Ayre VX-5/20 while I was awaiting my new floorstanders to be shipped.  I was amazed at how well they performed with high quality power.  I have attempted to find a less powerful amp to run them in a second system and ...
