What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin?
Rockport of course would do as would modified high-end Technics. But that's big money. For little money, by audiophile standards, you want Nottingham Spacedeck/Spacearm with motor controller. As for the cartridge, well, there are many that would w... 
Do we love our components more then ourselves ???
When musicians talking about their instruments being part of the body, I wonder which part of the body they really have in mind. Or parts.Musicians are truer nuts than audiophiles.Whenever moving I drive my music collection, but I don't have thous... 
What to replace my Dynavector 20x2L with
Or Soundsmith Carmen MM perhaps. 
Upgrading power cables
You usually match a power cord to particulat component so they don't have to or should not be the same or even the same brand. That said, if you want top of the line they might turn out to be the same, maybe.It varies which component will be more ... 
I am somewhat amazed that there is no thread dealing with Star Sound Tech's devices
I use the older ones under the integrated amp. They are good but nothing spectacular. Unlike Boston Audio tuneblocks for speakers, now that was big improvement.

Your Best Tweak Lately
Update. The second Walker disc near Nott motor didn't do it - the sound got 'strangulated' a little, so one disc it will be.Treated records with LAST record preservative - slightly improved clarity and dynamics, especially the former.Treated tape ... 
Upgrade Linn LP 12 or buy new table
There are Linn fans, Nottingham fans ( me included ), VPI fans etc.This thread will get you nowhere. I think the idea to have it set up and listen for a while is best. 
Record Cleaning - Ultra Sonic or My old ways
You do need 15-20 minutes to clean a record well. Noisy vacuum motor is a funny argument for audiophiles.If life is too short - don't have too many records and don't work too many hours unless of course you enjoy it. 
Record Cleaning - Ultra Sonic or My old ways
As I said in another thread, I compared the exact titles and pressings professionally cleaned on Audio Desk ultrasonic machine and cleaned by me on Okki Nokki machine with Audio Intelligent three step solutions. There was no audible difference of ... 
Premium distilled water for ultrasonic record cleaner
Of course you should, that's how you do things right. 
Record Cleaner Okki Nokki
No I have not. Audio Intelligent has a great reputation so I just got it and have been using it. Many like Walker too.I use step 2, Archivist formula, that contains no alcohol, it can be substituted with another Audio Intelligent solution with alc...
