Thinking to replace my phono
Only if its your weakest component. Are you sure this is your weakest component? I'm gonna take a wild guess and say not even. 
Sorbothane record weight?
Hey Mike, check out my system https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 Check out the turntable. Check out the clamp. DIY clamp btw. DIY clamping system. Look real close at the platter. See that little black washer around the spindle? Its just thi... 
Future of cables!
Its not what I think, its what I know. What I know is it doesn’t matter. Doesn’t matter to the point not even wasting my time to read the article. Because it is a waste of time.  There you go again Miller, dissing science. Come on, man! (Intended ... 
Shorten speaker cable
Its a professional project only if you care about resale. If these are "yours" for keeps then its a classic DIY. Unlike manufacturers who have to make everything for audiophools, with DIY the only one you have to please is yourself. This means you... 
Sorbothane record weight?
Reflex record clamps are universal. They use a collet that holds the spindle whether threaded spindle or smooth. You have a spindle? You can use a record clamp. 
Synergistic Research AC Master Coupler on all Components including Subs Over-Kill
1. No. Not at all. Given the level of your associated components the Master Coupler is entry level. Full disclosure, I reject the notion of there being any such thing as overkill. You could put a $10k SR cord in there and be blown away. So even th... 
Synergistic Research mpc question
The question I have is, is I it okay to connect the mpcs and the master control centers up to a SR power cell 6 se which has the preamp, dac and transport hooked up to it as well or would it be better for the active shielding mpcs and master contr... 
Cable burn-in questions.

If I have good local shops available, should I restrict my purchasing?
If you're in the zone where finding anything you might actually want locally is even possible, I can only envy you. You can see it, touch it, hear it, and most importantly try it out at home. If you can, that is totally the way to go. That's what ... 
Technics SB 5000A Linear Phase Speaker FUSE question .
All the fuse does is protect the tweeter. You can also protect the tweeter by not overdriving it. So don't do that and you will be fine. If you want to know how loud is safe, simply play one that does have a fuse real loud. At least as loud as you... 
Suspended cables
The "reasoning" involved is irrelevant. Literally does not matter. If the cables are off the floor like you say then it matters even less. No cable that short is gonna be damaged just by running like that. Now if you trip over it, different story.... 
Speaker cable recommendations in my budget
tochsii- How would I make my own? Well first you would let someone sell you on the idea this is something worth doing. Then you would let someone sell you on the idea they know what materials and construction will be best for your budget and sonic... 
Speaker cable recommendations in my budget
mofimadness-I'm a HUGE proponent of BDR cones/pucks/pits/shelves. I have them everywhere. Don't think they'll solve your speaker cable issue though...Right. They are awesome. And Right, they are not speaker cables. The OP will still want to ...
