@mclinnguy The USB cables in discussion are all exemplary and their virtues further revealed in audio system that are capable or equally exemplary. No offense to OP system but Christiaan audio system at Hi Fi Advice is several leagues above OP’s...

Update: Lot of listening yesterday with my new TT, cart and phono. I end up preferring Allnic H-6500 (tube) phono over Konus MC3000 (trans impedance) phono in my system. Allnic was more synergistic with rest of my system. For a tube phono (12 tube...

@noromance I had library style store all along, switching to Flip’ style display bins made life bit easier to store and find a record. You were of course the source of inspiration behind my switch. I searched a lot and finally found a reseller ...

Update: Spent last couple of days unboxing / learning about Reed 3P tonearm. It’s a beautiful piece of artwork, well engineered and if I may say so; compliments the iconic Garrard 301 handsomely. The Reed 3P paired with the Garrard 301 is a perfec...
