Power Cord recommendations for a First Watt SIT3
I recommend using the black rubber power cord which comes with the amp.  Do you really think Mr. Pass would select a power cord that compromises the sound of his amplifier.  I use two First Watt F3 amps with the included power cords and I find the... 
Happy New Year to Me, from OL to Triplanar
Aren't carbon fiber arm tubes less prone to resonance problems than metal ones?  
Making speakers sound tonally similar with an equalizer
Lots of EQ experts here, but how many of them have actually used one? Great review on the Loki Mini+ in this months TAS. I hope all the “experts” here read the review. I have used various DEQX preamp/DSP units for seventeen years with my tri-am... 
Making speakers sound tonally similar with an equalizer
No.  An equalizer can not remedy slow transient response, compressed dynamics or many other characteristics.  
Eldorado Reissue Not Recieved
" I dream of an America ..."   Are you talking of the Continent or only USA? because America is the Continent ( geographic the earth has 5 Continents. ) and USA is only one part of the America Continent. I refer to both continents, North Amer... 
Discwasher Direction
Position it so that the open end of the Dishwasher is pointed toward the spindle.  
Eldorado Reissue Not Recieved
Thank you for the responses.  I'm clear on the subject now.    
Replicant 100 stylus
I am a big fan of Ortofon's Replicant 100 stylus.  My Cadenza Bronze has that stylus and upon first hearing it I was pleased with its SQ but also pleasantly surprised with how much quieter older LPs sounded.  
Analog upgrade
I heartily recommend the Clearaudio table and Tracer arm. A few months ago I bought the Clearaudio Performance DC Wood tt with Tracer tone arm. I love it for its SQ, engineering and smooth operation.  
flabbergasted with reviews on speakers
I LOVE my Speaker's L-Pads!!! Now use a sound meter and frequency bands to adjust them, IN THE SPACE,  I love my DEQX preamp/ DSP. Frequency response, speaker correction, room correction, three way digital crossover and more can be well regulat... 
How important is the cable between the SUT and phono pre?
After reading this thread I am glad my Parasound JC3 Jr. phonostage obviates the need for a SUT with my  .4mV output cartridge.  
Caw 938 without sub
If memory serves me correctly the caw 938 is a Morel nine inch woofer. If memory served me incorrectly I hope the OP will correct me.  I considered using caw 938 to replace Dynaudio 24W100 woofers in a pair of DIY towers I build back in the 1980s.  
Guess How Big My Speakers Are
I give up.  How big are your speakers?      
Brian Eno's Turntable Design
I find it interesting that the linked article says much about how the TT looks and nothing about how it sounds.  
Is anyone familiar with Infinity Slope brand speakers?
I quite well understand the  value of high order crossover slopes.  My tri-amplified DIY horn speakers use DEQX managed 96 dB/octave slopes for all crossovers.  The result is good.
