Technics SL-1210G Headshells, Record Weights, and Mats
If you think the  Origin Live Gravity 1 is good, try the new Gravity 2...the differences are not subtle! Everything the G1 does the G2 does at least twice as good!  
Anyone try different footers for DeVORE Super Nine speakers?
I’m in the process of ordering the Gaia III’s, but it will take a bit longer since my speakers use a different thread size than the stock sizes. Also, it looks like the Townshend's are a no go for me due to their rather large foot print (18"x21").... 
Anyone try different footers for DeVORE Super Nine speakers?
@elliottbnewcombjr - Thanks, I may give that a try.  @ Soix - Thanks. I have looked at the Townshend stands and yes they are pricey! My funds at the moment are a bit constrained, so I have been looking at less costly options. When finances improv...

The other thing I' am looking at are the Gingko Audio Speaker Arches. They would raise the height of the speakers a bit.  
Anyone try different footers for DeVORE Super Nine speakers?
 I may try tilting the speakers back to get the tweeters closer to ear level. My listening seat is relatively high resulting in the tweeters about 4"-5" below my ears. The speakers sit on suspended wood floors with Herbie's decoupling gliders unde... 
Looking for new speaker cables
Check out ArgentPur cables...they have "body" plus the other characteristics you are seeking! I have had mine for about a year and they will remain for some time. The company has a philosophy of matching specific gauge wire to speaker sensitivity...

I used to own a Sugden FBA 800 amp and while it had some very nice qualities, it lacked the requisite dynamics (for me) for orchestral music, plus it ran very hot!  I sold it and purchased a 300 watt class A/B amp which was okay but I sold it afte... 
Why Use Aluminum for a TT Platter?
The higher end aluminum tables typically use aluminum alloys to improve rigidity, increase density, etc., over "regular" aluminum.  
Has anyone switched from Class AB/A to Class D? Was it better? Was it worse?
I made the switch from A to A/B and finally Class D (AGD) and not looking back!  
Class d amplification
+1 on AGD (Duets) and they are upgradable as the tech improves! I use them on DeVore Super Nines.  
Mods to Primaluna Evo400 preamp
Talk to Kevin at Upscale Audio...I'm sure he would be more than happy to walk you through some mods. ;  )  
Audioquest Water interconnects
The AQ Water ICs have been replaced by a new line and most places are selling Water ICs at a discount. I had them and liked them on a digital tuner/streamer.  
Seeking a Tube preamplifier
Spatial Audio "The Raven"!  
Tube Pre/ Class D Amp - Who has done it?
ADG Duets fronted by a Ayon Audio CD-35 pre/CD player and I love this combo! Speakers are DeVore Super Nines.  
Develop a hierarchy for phono playback
And don’t forget the platter mat...if your TT has one. After market mats can make a significant difference.
