Denon 103 vs 103r opinions - Sonic Differences
TOBES - many thanks for further info! Yes, weight may be an issue, as you mentioned...also, understood that it's a good cart for the price but won't reach the performance of the much more expensive ones. I am planning for the re-build of my Shelte... 
Denon 103 vs 103r opinions - Sonic Differences
TOBES - Many thanks!!! for taking the time and sharing the perfect info (the guy should write a book). Now I know I need the 103r (which I will get ASAP) and I got a new thing to obsess over for the future - how would the cart sound in a stone body? 
Help me pick a great phono cable
I went through many highly regarded phono cables in my search, and I ended up with AQ Leopard (DIN to RCA though), so I recommend auditioning that one if you can. 
Prog Rock
Van Der Graaf was huge in Italy as well, in the early 70s - blend that with classical, jazz and their own unique approach and that's what many of the outfits sounded like. It's funny (and proabably typical) - my fave PT by far is In Absentia which...

Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan
Jdub39 and Jfz - I probably have 100 hours on it now and soundwise it clearly follows the 'break-in' schedule you posted...the sound has opened up considerably and inching a good bit closer to the analog rig (naturally I am using the 'Pure Sound' ... 
Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan
Awesome Jdub39 - extremely helpful...just what I was looking for! I just got the Oppo 95 today (replacing an Oppo 970 which has been one of the absolute best values I've encountered) - was hoping to give my analog some competition (it's not an eas...
