TT to another room, no vibs, better sounds?
I'll make a pair of Belden Quad Star Mongani pair with Neutrik cables and do a comparison when I get back home. My Lamm ML 2.1 amps are SE but do have non recommended balance inputs. Still, I'm willing to give it a try. 
TT to another room, no vibs, better sounds?
Granted, and I''m taking your advice in the spirit it was given. The Bose Music System does solve those damn cables I was complaining about. Wouldn't I have to stack around 80 of those puppies in two arrays of 40 each to match anything close to so... 
TT to another room, no vibs, better sounds?
Its really what fits your listening method. I went the other room route because it was just to much equipment and "fragging" cables in our living- dinning room area. I couldn't stand anymore. Moving the entire audio front-end into family room turn... 
The pivoted arm experiment is over
Nice job! It seems to me that you have gone the extra effort to be fair and objective - excellent update! Now you you please try the Thale for us? Just kidding. 
Phono stages belong to which tier?
John Curl is being John Curl, that's a positive, ringing out the best performance possible before he'll release it for production. It should good! You'll notice that his designs are SOTA but also remain that way for years without rev after rev. I'...

Wavestream phono and preamp tube products. 
Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms?
The discussions has been very interesting and very informative. As just a hobbiest, I enjoy reading points are mixture of M.E. peer review and personal experiences. Not all postings are equal, nor should be followed, but it does seems that decent ...

Grand Prix versus Stillpoints
If you have acrylic shelves, but need an improvement, putting myrtle wood blocks under my preamp and phono and the shelf really improves the sound a lot. I haven't tried this with amps (weight?), but they are inexpensive. 
Arcici Suspension Racks
I use an Arcici stand, spiked to a cement slab floor, inside a "closet" away from the speaker area, and even in that sirtuation it improved the music presentation with greater clarity to my amazement. There's no explaination for this improvement a... 
TW-Acustic Arm
Dertonarm, where would audio be today if everyone took your approach of massive negative attacks on a new product that you have never heard.Yes, we can comment on engineering approach, but still no verdict can be reached until the arm is used in s... 
Isolation /platform for TW Raven One
I have a SRA "Ohio-Class" for an AC-3 on order. Will find out how it works in late February. I'm expecting there's an improvement I can hear. It could be great or it could possibly over damp the table. I'll hear it soon. 
Reference 3A Grand Veena's
How do the Grand Veena's compare to a Wilson Siohia 2's or Wilson W/P8's? 
TW-Acustic Arm
First, I'm sorry for murdering German. Pretty stupid idea on my part trying a translating program. Second, I'm not in any way trying to create buzz TW's new arm. Just got to excited (crazy) about getting additional arms for my TT and I wanted to s...
