Is there a length limit for Turntable cables?
Bdgregory,I'll try your solution first. Sometimes it's best to try the simplest solution first and see how it works. I've nothing to lose. I'll let you know how it works out in a few weeks as soon as I get my TT back from the tech who is replacing... 
Is there a length limit for Turntable cables?
Nsgarch,Thanks for the suggestion. It's what I suspected and was trying to avoid. But It looks like I'll need to figure out how to make it work in my room.Joe 
tube amp for usher 6371
I heard them driven by Rogue amps at a dealer nearby and they sounded really good. 
Which companies also offer good service??
Rogue Audio is excellent to deal with. So is Von Schweikert - very responsive! 
Please help me on a speaker selection
I compared the VonSchweikert VR4JRs with the JMLabs 926 & 936 and for me and mny wife there was absolutely no comparison. Speaker choice is subjective and for us although the JMLabs sounded very accurate and precise they did not sound at all m... 
Are the Von Schweikert VR-4JRs really all that?
Speaker preference is pretty subjective and I believe Teajay's advice is sound. I've had a pair of VR4Jrs (dark cherry) for about a year now and they have over 800 hours on them. I fell in love with the demo pair which had only about 150 hours on ... 
Cause of Channel Imbalance

I'm loooking for this system...
I'll second the VonSchweikert recommendation. The VR2 is a good choice for an unobtrusive floorstander or the VR4jr is even better(check their recent review in (Enjoythemusic.com). All VS speakers are warm, detailed, highly musical with wide sweet... 
Mcintosh C2200 VS Mcintosh C200 S STATE ?
I did not compare the two before purchasing the C2200; I was so impressed with it compared with other brands (SS) I tried - Edge, Levinson, Herron, Chord - and my previous Rogue 99 Magnum that I couldn't resist it. One thing to consider, however, ... 
Anybody hear the Von Schweikert VR-4jr at CES?
Just to add my experience with the VR4jrs. I've had a pair since June and believe that they have stopped my upgrade fever for speakers. Period! Forever. They are warm without being colored, dynamic, detailed, sweet, intimate, punchy and extremely ... 
My Rogue 99 needs better isolation...please help.
Until recently I owned a Rogue 99 Magnum and the best sound it produced was with the following: 2" hard maple shelf on top of Vibrapods with 1"x3/4"x3/4" zebrawood blocks between the maple shelf and the bottom of the 99 chassis (that's the chassis...
