upgrading systemdek iix worth it?....
I have two of the Audiomods arms on my turntable. A 9 inch and the 10 inch. Both arms are very good. Jeff is excellent to work with.

@soix  "marketing tool invented by Ivor Tiefenbrun" That explains it.  Thank you!

@dogberry  "Every specialist interest has its jargon"  Very true. The audiophile descriptions of many things sound a bit creepy to me. Not sure how a speaker can sound syrupy but I did see that as a description... I don't get too involved with... 
Example of a piece o’ crap, useless review
The reviewer wrote " it’s strength is Pace, Rhythm, and Timing." How can a machine that is supposed to spin the recording at a constant, specific speed provide that? Is that not the responsibility of the musicians? Pace: This refers to the temp... 
Recalibration
68pete Thanks for your response. I'm trying to understand what is done to the cables to "recalibrate" them. I haven't seen calibration mentioned by other cable manufacturers, perhaps I just missed it. Have a great day!

Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it?
The only time I have heard High end gear was a visit to AXPONA. In a very large room on the ground floor. Setup of MBL speakers and associated components including mono block amplifiers the size of a small deep freezers. Can't remember all of the ... 
Any other Pipe And Slippers Audiophiles out there?
A pipe, smoking jacket and slippers... I used to smoke a pipe. Gave it up when I was 7. Never had the jacket but I do have slippers. Used to drink Scotch but received a very "peaty" tasting bottle as a gift that put me off scotch permanently. M... 
As An Experiment I Stuck A Few Things Under My Pre-Amp And Am Now On A Quest
@ghdprentice  You do have some beautiful speakers! I wouldn't do anything that might possibly do any damage. Nice room you have too!    
As An Experiment I Stuck A Few Things Under My Pre-Amp And Am Now On A Quest
@ghdprentice  " Although I will not be taping anything to my speakers." I should have clarified that by writing that my Focal speakers have a glass top so no worries about the finish although I'm careful not to scratch it.  
As An Experiment I Stuck A Few Things Under My Pre-Amp And Am Now On A Quest
I use a laser pointer to check for vibration and aiming my speakers. Tape a pointer on a component and aim across room to see if indeed there is any vibration present. The further you aim the beam the more it magnifies any vibration. With speakers... 
Equalizer in a Hi Fi system
I have been enjoying my SAE 2700B EQ for years. Why not use EQ?  
Audio stand needed....Moving main components from mechanical room to listening room
The OP might want to consider having a local cabinet maker build what he would need. I had a local guy that builds and installs high end cabinets do a pair for me. One, a riser, to go on top of my Salamander synergy cabinet. The other for my guita... 
Garage into listening room?
@mahler123  Thanks for your message. No need to apologize. A lot of crazy things going on out there for sure. Would be nice to meet with you. Will message you when we are planning our next trip.  I don't usually need to bundle up much. It's only... 
Garage into listening room?
@mahler123 Seems we share the same weather patterns. I'm in Michigan so we just wait for the weather to head east across the lake. The garage is a few feet from the house. A patio connects the house and garage together. Easy to keep the snow cle...
