What would it take to our do my Audio Research PH3se.
I have a few. But right now im using a Soundsmith Carmen II. On a VPI Prime. I also have a Technics 1200 GR with a Glans MFG 610.

You know it’s interesting you say that. A month or two ago I bought myself a used Herron VTSP-1A Pre-Amplifier, And I use it in my secondary system with an audio research CL60 amp and the parasound JC 3+  That old Heron is spectacular even for its... 
Adding shielding to existing cables
Steve,before I knew about your praise for KLE connectors I stumbled upon them and Duelund wires and made myself a set of interconnects. I was quite pleased when I plugged them in and listened. I now want to make an XLR set with Duelund wires, can ... 
Turntable to phono stage preamp cables.
@ebm true. I have those used, Venutas (<sp?). But they weren’t cheap! But they are excellent.im assuming you meant PAD.  
amp for vandersteens
I had those speakers, honestly any quality amps with 40 or so quality watts will work. They are very forgiving. That being said they will reveal differences, so the higher the quality the better. I’ve used tubes and SS to great success.  
Adding shielding to existing cables
While we have to keep memory of sound and psychoacoustics into effect, from what I can tell there has been no loss of sound quality.  
Adding shielding to existing cables
So I tried tinned copper shielding with a ground wire but that did not accomplish much.so I just went for it. I got some WTB connector, silk tubing, copper tape and reused the tinned copper braided shielding. I cut the RCA I liked up and made my o... 
Adding shielding to existing cables
Sometimes I feel I’m being misunderstood or people aren’t reading through completely. No offense to anyone. I’m not going to hack up my cable (yet). I’m going install a shielding with pigtail I can ground to a source. I just wanted to know if that... 
Adding shielding to existing cables
To be clear I have an existing Decware cable that sounds great, but is unshielded. I’m not trying to DIY a new cable from scratch. I just want to add shielding to see if that solves my noise problem. I have no issues with sliding a shield over the... 
Adding shielding to existing cables
@erik_squires Why “no”?from what I am able to understand, a shield is typically connected at one end (source end) via the rca metal body or chassis.  Doesn’t the rca plug ground connect to cassis ground?  If that is the case, how is running a grou... 
Silly question, but I’ll ask it anyway.
Ok. So what I’m getting is, it’s a NO on using spark plug wires as interconnect cables. But hey, it was an interesting thought experiment;) 
Silly question, but I’ll ask it anyway.
@rixtherick - they sound nice and open. They seem a bit more mellow than what they replaced, but they are brand new. They replaced Kimber PBJ’s which seemed to have a bit more upper mid range bite.  
Silly question, but I’ll ask it anyway.
I work on old Porsche’s. I was installing new wires on my 944 Turbo last weekend. The next day I made some interconnects with Duelund wire. The soldering iron was next to where I placed the old spark plug wires. Imagination took over from there. V...

Or. Your could have said the reality of the situation- you just don’t know. Got it 
Seriously considering tube preamp…opinions?
Sorry,I was thinking the Decware item would be your preamp.
