Internal Speaker Rewiring
Ooops, by bad. Closer inspection reveals that the internal wiring is Audio Research HF-164 12 ga. cords, not Monster. 
Internal Speaker Rewiring
Thanks for the well thought suggestions. I had this pair in my system orignally and replaced them with Sonus Faber Cremona. I friend has a pair of Dunlavy SC-IV and these PSB's just waxed them in a one-on-one test in my system and his. As a projec... 
Cleaner AC Source for Better Sound
As I read these responses and those in other threads, my best bet might be to upgrade the AC cord for my amp and plug it straight into the wall via an upgraded duplex outlet on a line separate from the components. Then run the TT, tuner, CD and pr...

Plus, wouldn't each one of these Noisehounds reduce by one the number of available outlets for components? 
Cleaner AC Source for Better Sound
Sugarbie, I have seen a number of your posts. Do you own an all-Blue Circle system, or do you work for, sell, or otherwise represent Blue Circle? :-) How the heck do these Noisehounds work? Aren't they a passive plug-in things that aren't directly... 
Cleaner AC Source for Better Sound
Thanks. I was assuming that I would need more than a 15A power supply to sufficiently accommodate my 250W amplifier. someone told me I should look for 20A minimum and, better yet 30A. Maybe they/I am wrong?I have read some interesting articles abo...

Should add that I am using 2 Harmonic Tech ProAc 11's, Ensemble Megaflux, and PSAudio Mini lab already. 
Talk About Static Cling...
Not sure abut voodoo Lugnut, but I know that my double re-release of Miles Workin' and Steamin'will pick up more static than any other I've ever noticed. POPS within the first two inches of play (AFTER Gruv-Glide and without coming within 15 feet ... 
Talk About Static Cling...
Not a problem, Bob. A solution for one may be a solution of all. On my Nottigham, I am using the foam pad that is supplied. Funny because Nottingham as recessed the label area and beveled the edge of thier platters for reasons discussed in some de... 
Bottom Rung Koetsu..
Twl, your comments are on point with respect to having not mentioned my TT/arm. It is a Nottingham Spacedeck/Spacearm. I, for one, have no problems with achieving sonic pleasure at a good price. Name brands be damned if there is a suitable "giant ... 
Talk About Static Cling...
Thanks for the input. I have tried grounding the spindle sump to no avail. Will try a dehumidifer, but I do not get any discharge from touching anything else metal so I am skeptical that it is atmospheric conditions in my home. I will also try Mrd... 
Analogue Tracer Cartridges
I read somewhere that the Tracers were based on the Goldring 1042, but I'm not sure. 
Arsonists - Please help me with cable burning
Rcrump - might I suggest a very crisp fume blanc as a basis for that etouffe?Gee, the cable manufacturer suggested 100-150 hour breakin time using "normal" methods. Sounds like I won't really be able to really tell how things have "settled" much b... 
Arsonists - Please help me with cable burning
Sanctuary - I am much obliged with respect to your generous offer. You are right, though, it would be best "time-wise" for me to do my own cooking! :-)I assume from your response that my notion of running the CD/pre and pre/amp cables continuously... 
A general mix/match SS/Tube question.
