Budget Low-Capacitance Interconnects
The entry-level interconnects from Signal Cable would also do the trick. (www.signalcable.com) From the Web site: "Nom. Capacitance - 28.5 pF/ft." Mind you, I wouldn't know from a picofarad if it sat down beside me at dinner and picked up the tab,... 
rega 3-24 verses other similiar priced tables
While I cannot exactly address your question, I can kind of come close. I had a very old P2 that I sold and replaced witha Music Hall MMF-5. From the first I was never happy with the Music Hall. I listen mostly to rock 'n' roll, and the Rega just ...

Tom Petty fans
Acoustic Sounds lists the vinyl -- on two discs from Reprise -- for release on June 24. And with a bonus CD! I'm waitin' for that. 
Do you pull A/C plugs during thunder storms?
Some years back, I was living in a house at the top of a hill at the edge of a deep and wide valley. When a thunderstorm rolled in, you'd really know it -- and it tended to stick around. One not so fine day, a storm was a-comin', so I unplugged ev...

audiophiles get mention in today's WSJournal

Your First Concert was.....
Bob Dylan and The Rolling Thunder Review in Springfield, Mass., in 1975. I knew even as it was happening how very lucky I was to be there, in row 11.
