Tri-Planar with no anti-skate?
Been a while on on this thread. I've been playing around with my anti skate on my Tri planar this weekend. Seems like if I take the thread off and remove the dogleg (totally removing the mechanism from the arm), clarity goes us a notch or two. May... 
Cartridge Recommendations
The Airtights are a good suggestion. I have Nagra VPS, the Lyra's match up to this well and I bet to your arm. Maybe a Kleos or Skala?Maybe some of the Benz' also, however I haven't heard these like the ones I mention above or own...

What about Clifford Brown, Live at Ethels? Killer cd music and recording 
Esoteric P-05 - D-05 - anbody use the word sync ??

Esoteric P-05 - D-05 - anbody use the word sync ??
I am sure it will help. I use a dCS Puccini and U-Clock, it's noticeable. I can hear a difference between the stock clock cable and a cardas lightning... 
Helikon Retip Experience?
Well, I don't have first hand knowledge of the soundsmith retip, but I have to imagine it'd change the sound (so i am speculating with out facts)I loved my helikon, then I love my skala even more. The stuff I keep reading about the Kleos is pretty... 
Best Pre with a built-n phono section?
Another contender for your criteria is the the Nagra PLP. It's tube, but runs cool. Also the Nagra PLL and VPS (separate pre and phono) but might work due to small size. I"ve personally heard the Aesthetix (Io, Io Eclipse, Rhea and Jupiter) and th... 
Nagra plp versus CAT ultimate mk 2
Hi I've been curious watching your thread evolve. I've had a hard time besting my Nagra (PLL and VPS). Most things are 2 or 3 steps better somewhere then 1 or 2 back somewhere else. I'll be curious over time if the new fun wears off and if you mis... 
HDMI - 5 m 16.5 ft -long - what to pay attention?
I use a Transparent Audio 50ft HDMI from my sat dish to projector. Colors are richer using it vs a 1 meter no name HDMI cable...so better cable, even the wife can see it... 
What are your favorite phono cartridges?
Another vote for the Lyra's. I'm running a Skala on TriPlanar. 
Review: Reed 2A Series Tonearm
Nice review. I am a triplanar owner. Seems like you keep coming to the same conclusion!Thanks for taking the time to share your experiences... 
Long XLR's: PAD Venustas versus Mogami
Hi, I own the proteus provectus praesto. it does have a killer good beautiful midrange, loads of resolution with a ease/naturalness on the wilsons. I've had venestas in the past along with dominus and 20th anniversary.I do think you'll like the sp... 
Want to buy a new projector.
Hi, I bought one of the last Pioneer Ellite Projectors before they were discontinued. It's a rebadged JVC, it's a killer projector, I had 2 sony's before and it's no contest.I'd highly recommend checking them out before you make a final decision.
