Dynavector XV-1S tracking force issue
I run mine around 1.95g and it sounds best there on a dynavector 507 arm. 
Soundsmith's turnaround time?
Give the man a break. I have called and spoken to him before. Met him at the show last year in Canada. He is friendly and would not mind giving "free advice". Right now, I have 3 cartridges with him waiting to be done. Frankly, Soundsmith has conf... 
Todays new vinyl LP's better than LP's 40 yrs ago?
Pressing an LP is an art and was an art back then and that art is LOST!But if whatever you're looking for is not available in originals, ya gotta still buy them new. That sucks! 
Todays new vinyl LP's better than LP's 40 yrs ago?
Most new vinyl are somehow made with many and I really mean many flaws. Most are warped. What is the use of 180g or 200g virgin vinyl when almost all of them are so badly pressed?? Some so called virgin vinyl sound like sandpaper. Also the origina...

I saw a technics with a 16hz band. 
What is your dream turntable?
Micro Seiki SZ-1http://www.thevintageknob.org/THEVAULT1/SZ1/SZ1.html 
Best turntable setup for under $300
Technics SL 1300, 1400,1500,1600,1700,1800 all great tables. Mk2's look nicer. All can be had within budget and sound great 
Continuum Caliburn - really the best TT on earth?
Eckart, Hmmm.....Whatever is inside the crate...Congrats! If it is what I think it is, we'll all celebrate with you. Don't keep us waiting. TX1000 John

I believe Allnic makes one for the garrard 301. Contact Hammertone Audio for more info 
Ortofon 2M Red Not Happy Need advice
All I know is the 2m Red is not in the same league as the Grace F9 Ruby. They are both light years apart. It eill take you a whole lot more $ to better the F9 ruby. 
Project Debut III or Technics 1200 MK5?
Technics 1200 easilly surpasses the Projects and rega's. Go to KAB usa site and there is a whole lot you can do and spend to make your 1200 super good sounding. 
New tonearm: wish to upgrade from DV 505
Keep the arm. It's still a great arm by todays standards. I am sure it is not the bottleneck in your system. Try more adjusting and different exotic wooden headshells. It will bring out the most in the arm. 
multiple TT, need 1 adjustable phono preamp
I second the Allnic. I have the H3000 and it is brilliant! 2 inputs. 2 mc and the other 2 mm. If you can't sqing that $, there is always the smaller H-1500 which sounds great too. 
Allnic H-3000 owners impressions
Just shoot him an email. His user name is albertporter on audiogon.
