Best Turntable: Rockport or Goldmund?
Only lighting cigarettes from the power supply of the TNT has been shown to improve its sound to the ears of nonsmokers. 
Do the Audio gods shine upon you?
There is no data that shows measurable change in auditory acuity from average exposure to ambient noise. Cite your references otherwise. You sound like the auditory equivalent of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle: Listening to the event changes...

I mean like for mobile transport. Not like for lighting cigarretes from the turntable power supply or anything.

The Goldmund has a better cigarette lighter adapter.

So Treed, who knew you weren't an Ethel Merman fan? How did you know I had my head stuck in the midrange horn? Experience?

CW: Throw in your girlfriend's '98 740i and the Los Lobos CD and we're talkin' heaven.

The inferior cigarette lighter adapter of the Ongaku is the limiting factor here for mobile exuberance. However, for stationary audio ecstacy, I think you're pretty close.

Good sport CW! I'll second Tuscany, Fieosle especially. North County S.D.,CA. is a good bet,too. Wine's worse but the Ducati dealer is more reliable.

London the center of the social and cultural universe? Ever had Mexican food there? Sorry, Mechsiquan Phoode. Shaken. Not stirred. Cheers to the palate of the Stiff Upper Lip. Where's the best place to get English food in London?

Sloth, gluttony and lust. Just being real. 
Avantgarde Uno Loudspeakers: Comments?
With all the fuss over the Avantegardes I arranged an audition from a dealer of the Duo 2.0s. They are very good speakers and certainly well positioned for their price point. However, they possess an upper midrange coloration that can only be desc... 
Next tweak to buy?
P.I., something to consider as you begin this process is that many tweaks make your system sound different, but not necessarily better. That said, I second BDR cones as a good place to start. Enjoy!
