AR XA Turntable cartridge
Thanks for your suggestion. I note that is an MC cartridge. Not sure that the phono section in my preamp would be able to handle the lower level output signal.  
HELP Need a copy of a Wavac owners manual
In lieu of some one with a manual, any suggestions? (I've tried many times to contact WAVAC - no response). Thanks. 
HELP Need a copy of a Wavac owners manual
Can anyone help? 
SONY SCD-1 CD/SACD Player
I had a 777 and an SCD-1. Both would not read a disc from time to time. I discovered that if I left the units powered up 24/7 that I no longer had the problem. 
power cord for PS Audio Power Plant Premier
I'll second the Pangea AC 9. I've got one from the wall to a Duet and another from the Duet to the PPP. I've been very happy with the result . Far more robust performance than the stock cords and at a very reasonable price point. 
VPI TNT Super Platter
Just sent them an email. Will advise as to the outcome.

Why not horns?
Mapman - at the risk of being slightly off topic, I can say from experience that Khorns can work in a smaller room. My space is 13 x 13 and while I suspect my imaging would be a little more focused with more space, I'm very happy with the sound. I... 
Klipsch LaScallas vs Klipsch Cornwalls?
I had Cornwalls and Lascalas and listened to them in a moderately sized space of about 20 x15 and then in a smaller 13 x13 room when I moved my system. I actually liked them both better in the smaller room. Both pairs were stock (although the Corn... 
MapleShade Samson V.2 and V.3 Equipment Racks
I'm currently using the V.1 and V.2 racks. I've been very happy with them - excellent quality and virtually infinite adjustability. Happy to send you photos - feel free to email me. 
Wavac vs. Air Tight /300B's
It's always difficult to know how a new piece of equipment might integrate with our current system. Although a bit off target, I added a pair of Wavac 300Bm monos to my system withouy having heard them first. Definitely a gamble, but it turned out... 
Vintage amp repair in Southern New England
Thanks - I'll make contact and see if any of the above is willing to take on the amp. Appreciate the input! 
VPI SDS owners-
I had the same challenge trying to keep things in sync with my SDS. Although not a complete fix all, things are much, much more stable since I've had the SDS plugged into a PS Audio PPP.
