Will Michell Technoarm work with Denon 103R?
Thanks for the replies Tom!What about the OL Silver makes it a better arm than the Michell Technoarm (a) in your opinion? It looks like the tecnoarm has a better designed counterweightThanks! 
Will Michell Technoarm work with Denon 103R?
Thanks for the responses!I guess the main piece of my question is about the effective mass of the arm. The michell technoarm has holes cut in the arm that reduce the effective mass of the arm. My understanding of the hifi tweak is that the main po... 
In Shower With M_Logans
What kind of music are you listening to? It sounds like ML speakers are not for you. You like the Dynaudios in your car... why not get some Dynaudios? Try and fine some used Contours.... and you'll be in business 
Velodyne DD Series
slow bass = mushy bass that sounds like its too slow to keep up with the rest of the music. subwoofer very noticablefast bass = integrates very well with mains, high transient energy, dynamic and tight

Conrad Johnson's Sonographe SA-250 or the SA-400?
YO PHDGot a 400. Just bought a Plinius SA102. The Plinius sounds damn good, its dynamics in class A are amazing. They slam you back to the wall. But - I blew some fuses in it (my fault) and have the CJ hooked up now - backup! The Plinius is a bett... 
Tubed preamp suggestions?
You're going to want that Syrah back. Should have just bought a Denon 103R for $250 - great cartridge. would have been a done deal. 
Budget MC cartridge for a Rega P3 &Supratek Syrah?
I disagree with C123666's post about the Dynavector working well with the Syrah. I also have a Supratek Syrah, and I had the Dynavector 10X4 when I got the Syrah. Though the Dyna is a great cartridge and I loved it with a previous phono pre... it ...

sorry to be a naysayer but... dude???? You're comparing a cheap harsh tweeter kevlar driver box with one of the most influencial and dynamic speakers available at any price, they are, THE WILSON WP7??? WOW 
Supratek vs. Thor?
Take a look at your Syrah, then look at a picture of a Thor. I'd never trade my Syrah for a plain-jane looking preamp that may/may not sound better - certainly not a huge dif. in fidelity 
Dynaudio Confidence C3 vs. SF Guarneri Homage
Listen to them both. They're very different. You're likely to like one of them and not both of them.
