Phono Amp Cables
Sorry - I guess it might help if I said I have a N.E.W. P3 tube preamp and a solid state Monarchy SM-70 amp. This all sounds pretty good thru Totem speakers. 
PMC FB1 Speakers
I've heard the FB1's and was very impressed. However, at this price point there are many other products that you really must evaluate. Make no mistake - the PMC FB1's did turn my head that first time. I would say PMC is a member of my top 10 list ... 
Music Hall MMF-5 ?????
I also purchased the MMF-5 and am very happy with it. It'sfun going back thru the old LP's and rockin hard. This maybe the last turntable I ever purchase. 
Best cables for Thiel 2.3
Mezmo, Your system sounds great. What model preamp and Bryston are you using with your Thiel's? 
Analogue or Digital sound level meter?

True Confessions of a Soul Man
I put on a best of "Supremes" CD just moments before I got to this topic (Love Child is playing at the moment) - great subject Shubertmaniac. Anyone remember CKLW out of the Motor City during the mid to late 60's, that's the kind of music a young ... 
Rega Planet vs Cal Audio Labs Icon MK II
Gentleman, I believe this Icon MK II unit comes with the HDCD (Powerboss)upgrade. Would that upgrade justify the $750 price the seller wants. How can I tell if the unit has the Powerboss upgrade anyway? 
Mapleshade Vibration Control
I have some BD products and enjoy them a great deal. I plan to try "something" from Mapleshade early next year. Thanks for the info guys! 
Speaker recommendations
One word - Totem. You will like them.
