Techflex on speaker cable: sonic impact?
Besides the spacing issue,maybe a static electricity charge built up from rubbing/movement of the two materials.If something like this happened,I don't know how long it (static charge),would last. 
Cartridge life really only 3 years??
I basically agree with Elizabeth.The suspension could deteriorate.Its sort of a rubber like material.Usually if it was exposed exposed to extreme heat,or something else to cause damage,then that would be different.This could happen to a brand new ...

Sounds great.It's always nice to be able to enjoy your system. 
Anyone used a USB microscope to align cartridge?
Magnifying 100 times plus(microscopes) are good for looking at a stylus for wear.The more light you have on it,the easier it is to see,no matter what your vision is.The Fozgometer may give a headache in some cases as seen in this this thread. Link... 
Tube audio under $900?
This is a power amp,and I think it would make a lot of people happy.I don't know anything about seller,or have any ties to them.[http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstube&1297713438&/Conrad-Johnson-MV55-] 
EL34 Triode Integrated with 35-40 WPC??
The earlier Baron didn't use EL34s out of the factory,as far as I know.I would check into that first.They may need an EL34 option upgrade.They are a neat amp.

EL34 Triode Integrated with 35-40 WPC??
I should have said a single integrated.But they still can be on his list.I'm new to these. 
EL34 Triode Integrated with 35-40 WPC??
I realize the OP is looking for an EL34 integrated. He may have to look for a unit with more than the standard four output tubes to get what he wants.Tobias (System | Reviews | Threads | Answers | This Thread)These may work for him,but are power a... 
EL34 Triode Integrated with 35-40 WPC??
An EL34 in triode mode will give a ballpark of about 15 watts,if they're not over driven,from what I remember. 
How close to the real thing?
I'm not the best one to recommend Classical music.The majority of mine was passed down to me from my family.I listen to it more to hear a full orchestra perform.That seems to be the best part I enjoy. 
How close to the real thing?
some recordings, I do get a soundstage extended a couple of feet past my speakers in width, But never can I take an orchestra that its natural width would be say 25 feet and get my system to reproduce this. Within these limits, I get Outstanding i... 
I am at the end of my rope, please help
I don't know if this would be a contributing factor on not.In the 70s to 80s,I did some recording from LP's to tape,it didn't matter what system or combination of gear,the right channel always read higher than the left,if memory is correct . When ... 
How to clean and polish MC275?
Don't use chrome cleaner,or car wax/polish.The big majority of it has an abrasive polish,that will leave swirl marks,and haze.There are supposed to be non abrasive waxes,but I don't know any to recommend,and you probably don't need any.Be careful ...
