Speaker Cable Recommendation
Thanks mike_in_nc   I realize cables wont fix the room, but this is the room I have. I'm not looking to treat the room at this point. I'm not a purest, so I dont mind compromise. The system sounds great as it is, but I do need longer cables, so wh...

Thanks newbee  I appreciate your comments, this system is in my living room, and I have family considerations in regards to treatments, and other upgrades. I have simple 16/2 cable serving the speakers now, but I'm curious what may be a good fit w... 
Speaker Cable Recommendation
noromance  I'd be concerned about older cables, I would never know if they were at their peak performance   I actually just ordered a pair of Wathen CryoTone 12AU7-WCL for the BHK

ghdprentice  I have been using Transparent Cables, and liked them. I moved my gear and now I need about 12' to the speakers. I could get Transparent again, but if I'm going to spend the $, curious if there is a better match for my system.

@curiousjim I do have an NAS that holds Flac Files of all my CD's. The Node does have some upgrades over the Vault, including a better DAC. I have been streaming with the Vault into an external Schiit Yggdrasil DAC, which inputs to the Yamaha AS21...

@curiousjim selling off some gear, I could be around $7K. Although that may be a stretch for a used Luxman L-509X. If I could drastically improve on the current combo, $5K would be nice. So, $4k - $7K   
New Rega P10 setup
@mjmcubfn I agree, Pass Labs XP15 is a great phono stage, I don't even have the urge to go up the XP chain. Pass Labs gear is a great value all around. Having the Rega P10 and Aphelion in my system for a month now has really taken things to the ...

New Rega P10 setup
Thank you everyone for the advice, this site is really a great resource. Sooooooo, I went with a P10 with Aphelion 2. I have to admit the amount of positive feedback from so many people regarding the Rega P10 with a Rega cart really had me think... 
New Rega P10 setup
@crustycoot thanks for your concern, I'm not seeing the shipping error as a red flag. I talked with them this morning and everything fine. They sent an open box P3 instead of the open box P10. The warehouse guy probably doesnt know a P3 from a P10... 
New Rega P10 setup
Thanks for all the comments on the TT support. I will start with the unit on top of the rack and if it's too sensitive, I'll remount the wall rack. @mammothguy54 I will look at the Symposium Acoustics platforms as well. @ghdprentice the LP12 is p...
