Simaudio MOON LP5.3 RS or 300LP?
You may want to try the Simaudio Evolution 610 lp phono stage. That was the ticket for me to vinyl enjoyment. 
Record Store Day...
I was told that by 2 independent record stores.I am in Canada, so maybe in the States the REM is a go. I really wanted it.

Upgrade Tonearm for VPI Aries 3
Abill, What is your current phono stage? Perhaps the money would be best spent in the phono stage and skip the new arm. I went from a Zesto Audio Andros to a Simaudio Evolution 610 lp and the difference was staggering. Also, I added a silver cable... 
Back on Black: LED ZEP 1-3
I had high hopes for sound quality of the new versions until I read Analog Planets take on it. Mothership is on the shelf behind me, never play it due to sound quality. It's amazing to see some people here saying it sounds good. Mine sucks big tim... 
Best cartridge for VPI Scoutmaster Signature
I run a Dynavector XX2mk11 on a Superscoutmaster, works great.You could also run a Soundsmith Zepher which works great with VPI's and is a less expensive alternative. I would suggest you buy the Simaudio 320s power supply as well. I run a Simaudio... 
Stand out phono stages
I really like the Simaudio 610 Evolution Series I just got that replaced my Zesto Andros. The 610 will be with me long term. 
Simaudio 610LP vs Esoteric E-03 phono stages

Simaudio 610LP vs Esoteric E-03 phono stages
I just ordered the 610 LP today. Although I haven't heard the Esoteric E-03, I could report back after I have the 610 for while on the sound. There is a review of the 810 Lp where they compare the sound to the E-03 My former phono stage was a Zest...

Random Static Hits
I have a little hologen light right at my TT for changing records. It is very bright and you can see fine particles of dust or stuff in the air landing on the record. Under normal house lighting, you wouldn't see it. Would it help to have a small ... 
What would give the best overall improvement
Stringreen, I have found something better than the eden sound products . I was running the terra cone footers with the brass adjusters on my SSC. I bought Amcan footers (http://www.amcanaudio.com/)I put a large set on my Superscoutmaster along wit...

I use the Furutech destat also. It works great. Previous to using it,I had ticks and pops also. 
Help With System hum, Please
To answer your questions.The hum has been there since day 1 with my vinyl set up.I never had any problem with my cd player. I have adjusted the ground switches on the zesto to get the lowest hum, but it is still there.I have kept the phono cable a...
