Base for Verdier La Platine
I second the Vibraplane ( I have one too) although Minus-K makes a platform that is said to be better than the vibraplane. 
Review: Allnic H 3000 phono preamplifier Tube preamp
Carl, good to hear. I owned a H-1500. Did an AB at a friends house who had the H-3000. From memory, there was no comparison. The H-3000 was just much better...so much better that I had to sell the H-1500. It just made the H-1500 sound confused. Mi... 
BEST STEP UP XFORM. for the DYNA XV 1cart
Now I understand. Try to find a used Expressive Tech SU1 or a Audio note ANs7 or the newer Kondo designs. These are among the best out there no questions about it. 
BEST STEP UP XFORM. for the DYNA XV 1cart
Why do you need an SUT? The Art has built in Lundhals and has enough gain for the XV1s. Unless you don't want to use them then you gotta spend big bucks for something like a Kondo or an SU-1. Like Pcosta said... the Tron also makes a fine SUT.

1twekr, what d you have as for analog setup? Pls let us know so better ideas can come up.. 
BEST STEP UP XFORM. for the DYNA XV 1cart
If you have the $ to blow, look out for some Kondo made Audio Note (pls don't waste your time with AN UK regardless of price). My XV1s works nicely with an Expressive Technologies SU-1 and also an Audio Note AN-s9s.Others you might want to conside... 
sme 3009 low volume
To which input did you hook it up to in your preamp? 
Help with cartridge needed
The XV1s is probably your safest bet. Does many things really well and easy to match up with your tonearm. The other 2 carts could be better in other ways so your musical preference matters at this level. If you listen to pretty much everything li... 
Help Me Justify Recent MMF7 purchase
I have to say that I do not own a 1200. I never liked it until I heard it side by side vs a Rega P3 with the exact cartridge all setup by me. So I guess there is no bias here..... 
Help Me Justify Recent MMF7 purchase
The stock 1200 IMO is a hard table to beat for up to $1500. I have not heard the KAB version so cannotcomment on them. What I would do is to get the 1200 and play with it for a good while. KAB upgrades can be done anytime down the road. Can't say ... 
Transformer-coupled tube phono pres
Not too many out there. Try the Allnic H-3000. It's a beast. 
Stepup or phono preamp help
Hi oilmanmojo, believe it or not... your Rotel 970BX has a great sounding MM stage. Try getting an active step-up like a klyne SK2A or a good SUT. You will not believe how good the Rotel is. BTW, the MC stage is another story...it's very harsh and... 
Reason for buying old/classic turntables
Thanks to Mikelavigne for the super informative article. I never looked at a turntable like described in the article. Being an analog freak for the longest time, I can say that I have become a Direct Drive supporter. Playing a solo piano piece thr... 
Analog GURUs out there....what cartridge do I need
Dynavector 20xL should work great with your allnic. 
Would Like To Hear From Strain Gauge Owners
Dgad's comments is exactly what I heard. I heard the SG vs The Voice. I much preferred the Voice. I can see why some like the SG. It's quick, explosive, transparent and much like what Raul said, it was just WOW! at first. The fireworks did not las...
