Can you hear matched power cables?
Elizabeth, try Custom Power Cord original Top Gun on preamp and phono. They show up here for sale from time to time. Though quite expensive when new, you can get them for $120-$150 for 5ft now. Then maybe you will want to get rid of your piles of ... 
Lyra Dorian or Lyra Delos cartridge?
Morning.Even with trade-in programs and retipping cartridges are very expensive in the long run. $5k turntable that will last for 30 years with minor repairs is okay but middle of the range, nothing really to talk about cartridge for $1.5k is not.... 
American made cartridge anyone?
I meant besides those two. 
Can you hear matched power cables?
I would say that you need to match a power cord and particular component. As for the total system match...well maybe too but it will take a lot of time and effort.Just put Purist Audio Limited on transport, dac , phono and preamp; and Dominus fero... 
Is there any bad sounding high-end gear--?
Martin Logans can sound excellent in their own way though I prefer different sound. I am surprised you didn't say that Soundlabs are garbage and that Lamm or Rowland are full of distortion. There are different opinions, and there is plain nonsense. 
Lyra Dorian or Lyra Delos cartridge?
We don't give a damn about currency fluctuations, cost of fuel, raw materials etc. We want excellent fairly priced products and will not listen to any kind of "business excuses". This is all about enriching themselves at our expense feeding on our... 
Do you leave your components on 24/7?
Many of you are so ecologically bad; it's beyond words. You can buy electricity but you won't need it in hell. Keep it on all the time. 
Lyra Dorian or Lyra Delos cartridge?
So, dealers mostly lie in one way or another, so do people here. Let the paranoia reign with Elizabeth taking the lead. 
Lyra Dorian or Lyra Delos cartridge?
You can get Dorian for about $800 plus shipping from the UK.Nor am I sure why she made those comments. 
Front or Down Firing Sub
I would never add any sub to "ideal perfect speaker". That's what subwoofers are for - to be added to inadequate speakers. 
Lamm M1.2 v. ML2.1
I see. It is very much a matter of taste. Also, you could probably say that hybrid Lamms are, in a good way, as close to pure tube sound as currently possible. 
Purist Audio-fluid, ferox or contego?
Thank you. I think I'll stay with the fluid. 
Lamm M1.2 v. ML2.1
Why did you prefer Jadis to Lamm? 
MM cartridge comparable to a Benz L2
Audio Note IQ3 perhaps? But that's $1200 not $200. If you have friends or relatives in the UK, or go there, you can get it for less. 
Front or Down Firing Sub
I never thought that down firing is a good idea anyway.
