Going to Rocky Mountain Audio Fest - any advice
So far the stand outs for me:Elac Adante loudspeakers Muraudio SP1 loudspeakers - probably my favorite. Best dynamics. Eggleston Viginti loudspeaker. Disapointed with Focal. And Devore wasn’t as great as I thought they would be. There were some Ry...

Taming bright Thiels
I'll give you a relatively inexpensive amp that has a flat resistance over 8,4, and 2 ohms and  high current - the Parasound A21. I use one with my 2.4's.  
Cartridge alignment tool
Though expensive, the Smartractor is the best. It saves a great deal of time, easy to use and has a unique alighnment called the UniDin (along with all the others). I love this alignment since you seem to get no perceptible IGD. I know it’s not in...

New Technics SL1200gr, anyone taken the leap.
@last_lemming can I ask what music you spin? I am looking at both tables but read that the GR is better for a faster, more dynamic sound with excellent bass extension vs the VPI.What are your thoughts on the tables?I Listen to all types. From Mil... 
Seeking subwoofer recommendation
Used REL 
Parasound JC 3+ Phono Preamp Hum
Eric,  I posted earlier on and suggested trying another headshell and/or running a long extension cord to another outlet in the house. As I stated earlier for whatever reason one of my hums had to do with the pins on the head shell on my 1200gr to...
