How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl?
Thank you all for your feedback. Lot of good advice / information here for anyone looking to dip their toes into mono playback. For clarity, I do not intend to play mono vinyl with a stereo cart or swap headshell’s. I want my mono playback setup a... 
How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl?
@dogberry  Thank you for your astute summation of both the logic and the limits of the purist mono path. You have given the clarification I was hoping for, ahead of my implementation. Nope, the playback will still be from L/R speakers.  With a t... 
How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl?
@dwette  Thanks for sharing. I recognize and understand that a Mono cart should offer a better experience over a stereo cart with Mono switch engaged on your phono.  My query was more about, whether a purpose built phono like EQ-100 would offer ... 
Ultrasonic Cleaning Machine
Fidelity Imports is the US importer.  https://fidelityimports.com IMO, HumminGuru NOVA is a better choice as it offers drying cycle as well.

@stuartk  You just never know until you try a component in your system. I believe LTA offers 15 days trial. Whenever you’re ready, give it a try. There are just way too many choices in this category and I’m certain you will find the ‘ONE’ that ch... 
How much do I need to spend to make vinyl sound better than digital?
@macg19  PM sent!  “I'd devote my limited budget into one source, get that to whatever my reference quality is, then perhaps work on the second source” @sns  Solid advice!   
How much do I need to spend to make vinyl sound better than digital?
@mulveling  You nailed it perfectly. It isn’t always about chasing the last few percent of fidelity. Sometimes, it’s about remembering that even a modest setup, when well-matched and emotionally resonant, can unlock the magic just as deeply as a ...

@stuartk    You just described the very traits my audio system embodies and deliver in spades. It’s just not the tonal beauty we seek to create, we also need equal parts coherence, immediacy, and physicality without any listening fatigue. As fa... 
How much do I need to spend to make vinyl sound better than digital?
“I no longer see the point of bothering with vinyl unless you have the funds to go first class with both vinyl and digital. A first class digital setup will not have you longing for vinyl” +1000 @sns … couldn’t have said any better.  Vinyl does h...

@stuartk  Thank you! I really appreciate that. And from everything you’ve shared here and your interim system —your passion for music and your thoughtful approach to the hobby really come through. It’s clear you’re navigating some real constraint...

“I wasn’t making any assumptions or assertions” @stuartk  Thanks for the clarification. And I was merely reiterating my experience with a possible outcome of all out silver loom for our readers. Exploring new gear is the fun part of this hobby. I...

“In fact, if I had the $, I’d try an entire loom of Darwin” @stuartk  I fully acknowledge that everyone hears differently and no two systems are the same. After experimenting with an all-silver loom in my own setup, I’ve found that silver cables ... 
DIN Phono Cable
@josepad  The angled DIN or JIS connector allows tonearm cable to flow without any strain when there is not enough clearance underneath the TT base. If you have any enough clearance then a straight DIN or JIS connector would suffice.    
DIN Phono Cable
+1, @grinnell  I’ve used Audio Envy Phono Deluxe - 5 pin angled DIN connector with SME V tonearm. Great value for the money!  https://audioenvy.com/product/home-car-pro-interconnects/phono-deluxe-matched-pair/
