Inner Tracks Sound Raspy
Would you say that there is equal distortion in both channels?Make sure your cartridge is lined up with a protractor, if the cart physically looks like its level, I dont think azimuth would be the issue (could be wrong about this). Overhang is rel... 
Inner Tracks Sound Raspy
I just had this same issue. I tried EVERY adjustment possible....and still did not fix it. Turns out my arm was not mounted in the correct position. Make sure that the distance from the platters' center to the pivot point is the same as the manufa... 
Have a MusicHall 25.3 Dac...
I assume that you are planning to use the Optical out on the soundcard? If the soundcard already has a digital out you could do this, but if you had to buy another soundcard I would just use the USB cable. I own a musichall and love the sound thro...

New cartridge for a VPI HW-19
also look at some of Benz's lower end stuff. Great company. 
Subwoofers with Fritz Carbon 7's?
A REL probably would be a safe choice. A set of stratas would sound amazing :P 
Why do subs sound bloated or slow?
I owned a REL Strata III and found it a very fast and tight sub. I have also heard subs that did not sound as calibrated...so it really depends on a number of things.

I second Denon DL-110. Very good tracker! 
Klipsch Cornwall III or Tyler Acoustics PD-15

Bottlehead Seduction Vs Audio Research PH3?
Was there something in particular you did not like about the PH3? What cartridge did you use with it if you dont mind me asking? 
Best speaker in the US $ 30-45.000,00 range
I second Buconeros advice. Also dont forget about the Wilson Sophia 3's just because of their lower pice tag...they are worth a listen. 
Are my ears just fooling me?
To answer the question of what saxs sound like IMO, whenever im at a restaurant with live jazz, I am always dumbfounded of how the sax fills the room with this amazingly warm and low "buzz" if you will. It is so engulfing and sends shivers up my s... 
Are my ears just fooling me?
List of gear that I have owned in my listening room. (I have recently moved, and the sound in the new room is a little better, but both rooms I feel are fairly decent that thats not the problem.)Yet again I think its my taste, in the sense I want ... 
Are my ears just fooling me?
Elizabeth-- what do you think of Klipsch Cornwalls. Do they fall in that category? I have a opportunity to buy some locally for 700.Like I said I am coming from Merlin VSM's and I am worried about getting a speaker that is going to sound like the ...
