Should I buy an SME 30/12A for 15K?
Isn't the Merrill Williams Real no longer being made?   
Experience with Black Cat and/or Triode lab Wires
Very nice. I have the A23 speaker cables. I like mine quite a bit. Keep us posted.  
Shindo Masseto w Koetsu .3mv output
I have tried at least one LOMC direct into a Monbrison that was .3 millivolts. The built in Lundahl had no problem with it.  I would get the best Shindo pre you can get, and ad a step up transformer when funds allow. Cartridges I have successfully... 
Experience with Black Cat and/or Triode lab Wires
Tried my unshielded Duelund last night due to the Naim phono being able to handle the 1.0 MV EMT. Not ideal, but plays quite well. The 16AWG Duelund with Switchcraft RCA's is not to be dismissed. It's really quite good. The experience is almost ma... 
Experience with Black Cat and/or Triode lab Wires
Interesting. I use A23 for speaker wire for my Shindo/Altec Valencia 846A setup. I employ a Werner crossover for the Altecs. The A23 runs from my amps to crossover, and from there I tried both Belden 9497 (orange/black) and the Duelund 16AWG. I re...

Thanks you so much for all the suggestions and comments. It was a crazy stretch leading up to Christmas, but alas I have the day off. Last comment is extremely interesting as it coincides with others above, and ads the perspective of actual compar...

What Cartridge sings on your Origin Live (Silver Mk 4) arm?
Thanks drsutliff and dodgealum. I’ve read the OL Silver arm's aren't at their best with high compliance cartridges. Do you suspect there is anything to this. I’d like either my EMT 75 or Charisma 103 to work well, but if not, I’m sure I will exper...

Please PM me if anyone is using the OL Silver mk 3 or 4. Thank You.   
Deciding on which of my cartridges to go on Origin Live and Kuzma arms
This is certainly true as far as what shouldn't be a good match sometimes is. I've heard of two Volare/OG users having great success with a Koetsu Black. So while in theory it shouldn't work, sometimes it does. I've thought of a 4 point, but at th... 
Deciding on which of my cartridges to go on Origin Live and Kuzma arms
I just thought I'd make it clear...I have a Shindo/Altec setup that is in my system profile. But the plan for my next table is to play it into my Naim XS which is driving my Harbeth C7's.     
Deciding on which of my cartridges to go on Origin Live and Kuzma arms
dodgealum: The PF tables look gorgeous. I prefer the looks to the Volare, but that new Walnut Volare is quite nice. I actually started this quest in the $2K range. The Marantz TT 15 was the top choice until I opened my price range to $4K. So while... 
Dr. Feickert Turntable
Please correct me if I don't have this right...but there was a modification/change with this package where you no longer had to go under the table to loosen a screw to adjust VTA. I learned this info from an Upscale Audio You Tube video on the Vol... 
Dr. Feickert Turntable
I heard the Woodpecker with the Kuzma Unipivot 12" VTA arm. Cartridge was standard Koetsu Rosewood. I can see the comment above that they veer to the warm side, but with the Koetsu and an all tube system, it would be hard to make a blanket stateme...
