Thanks, Guppy! 
Joseph Audio Pulsar?
Thanks, Guppy!I just hooked up the Pulsars to the Bel Canto 500 monoblocks, and the combo sounds awesome right out of the box! I am guessing that a few more hundred hours will really make them sing! I am very impressed and happy with my new setup.

Just curious as to what the Pulsars were driven by. Anyone care to satisfy my curiousity, please. Thanks.

SME 309 and SOTA Sapphire - Cable & Cartridge Help
Will do!I am still waiting for SOTA to deliver my tt.I have found that silver cables seem to be too bright with a loss in the lower octaves.Let's see what happens!Rich

What cartridge for VPI and SOTA
The reason for my dilemma is that I own the Shelter, Dynavector and Benz cartridges and am trying to get a feel as to where I should start the combos. From the general consensus, I will start with the Shelter in the SME/SOTA setup. I have the Benz...

Thanks for the advice.I was leaning towards that and you all seemed to have confirmed my suspicions!Happy listening!

Benz Wood SL Very lean from the start
Taters, thanks for the info. What is your set up, btw? Curious to see if I have a weak link someplace besides the Benz. 
VPI HW19 SAMA and SDS
Your best bet is to contact Harry of VPI @ (732) 583-6895www.vpiindustries.comHe is a gentleman and should be more than gracious to help.Rich 
Dynavector 20XL
I had the pleasure to speak with Mike at VPI regarding my issue. He gave me some great advice and offered to help me further if I could not resolve the issue myself.I have to say that Mike went above and beyond the customer service call. Anyone de... 
Dynavector 20XL
I spent several hours realigning my cartridge so that is was exactly the way VPI specified for the Dyno.It has made a huge difference, with the end result being that it is now on the bright side with very minimal "static" harshness.I did notice th... 
Dynavector 20XL
I just wanted to thank everyone for their input and sharing of their vast knowledge on this matter.I will keep you posted as to what I find after I implement the recommended adjustments and tests.Thanks again. 
Dynavector 20XL
Thanks for the responses. I will try the antiskate adjustment. The noise is persistent even when I change phono preamps, so I know it's not the phono stage.
