Mapeshade cable lifts or any cable lifts?
Great idea. After you are done with that put your sub on your head and determine the quantum sugnature of your vibrating..toe. 
Is Stealth Sakra IC is really better than Indra?
In audiophile world 5% difference is the difference between heaven and earth. Stealth and many other cables may be overpriced but it takes time, money and effort to design and build the cable that would give you those 5%. And very possibly in some...

"Cables vibrating? I don't think so" I bet you don't think that speakers vibrate either."Quantum this or that". That happens too of course, but that's not what I was talking about. Elizabeth, you want something good for nothing; special treatment,...

When the cables are on the floor they are prone to the floor vibration in addition to other sources of vibration. Whether those cable risers will decrease it, unchange it or make it worse should depend a lot on those particular risers and their in... 
Classic records reissue - very disappointing
I think, Elizabeth exaggerated it a little but essentially she is right. But about German reissues? Are they any good? Germany is really rising in many areas including hi-fi. 
Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ?
Who cares about accuracy if it sounds good? On the other hand , if it is too much off it won't sound good to those who can hear. And it is not only about equipment, it is also about the instruments. I heard some that sounded very colored and disto... 
Interface: Cartridge-Preamp or Cart-Tonearm?

Old vs. New
Studer, Nagra, Ampex and some other open reel decks sound better than all those either vintage or modern turntables let alone digital players regardless of price. But, yes, electronics and speakers are better now, much better. Not to mention cables. 
Interface: Cartridge-Preamp or Cart-Tonearm?

Did I miss it or you told us nothing about your table?I certainly would not put $5k or whatever it is tonearm on $3k table not to mention the table/arm match Dover talked about. Unless of course you intend to upgrade the table soon as well. 
Interface: Cartridge-Preamp or Cart-Tonearm?
"most cartridges are compatable with most arms these days".I suppose this is true but compatibility is one thing and best match for the particular listener and his/her system is another. It is almost like saying that all records are compatible wit... 
Vibrapods to Preludes
Some use Boston Audio graphit with steel inserts tuneblocks made specifically for spiked speakers with great results. Where are you? You are on a quest to find the thing that works best. You could also experiment with various spikes and footers of... 
Who was the best jazz guitarist ever?
Any particular album by Gismonti is a must have? That Brazilian Afro beat I got to hear. 
Who was the best jazz guitarist ever?
Brazilians do know a thing or two about rhythm. Melodies are nice too.
