Gace F-9 Cart
I just bought my f8 for $200 and was offered an f9 ruby for $350. 
Wireworld Eclipse 7
The best I can do is say that I use Wireworld Luna 16/4 speaker cables and Oasis 7 I/Cs as phono cables. Without going into great detail, I wouldn't hesitate to get the Wireworld. If finances allowed, I would move up the range. However, I'm not su... 
Of all your gear, what piece impresses you most?
I'm most impressed by my Grace F8 cart by a bit over the NSM sub. The Grace presents my vinyl in musical ways that surpasses previous carts, from Grado wood-bodies to ZYX. When I read about the setup and integration issues folks have with their su... 
Has anyone had trouble with speed on their tt
So, stop spending big money on TTs which may or may not hold an accurate speed. I stand by vintage tables with Quartz Lock. I can live without the extraneous info regarding arms, platters, etc. Just give me a consistent 33.3 speed and much of the ... 
Linn Basik Turntable LVX Tonearm Shure V15 V Cart
I owned an LP12 with a Basik Plus arm. The best sound I got was with a Shure V15xMR cart. 
Need Advice Sota Sapphire III + SME IV arm
Contact SOTA. Very nice people. I met them at AXPONA last year. I don't own one of their tables but, would if I was upgrading. The table you have would near (at) the top of my list. Do not trade it in for a newer, generic Rega, Project, Music Hall... 
AXPONA or T.H.E. Newport?
Mrschret-look for a 5'10 woman in her late 40s with a 5'8 man in his 60s. 
new kiko sound quality
I've had it a few days. It is an excellent listen. Clean, dynamic with subtle cues. Highly recommended. 
AXPONA or T.H.E. Newport?
I went to AXPONA with my audio dealer buddy last year. This year, I'm taking my wife. It was enjoyable overall. I really liked Peter Lederman's seminar. 
What's wrong with my almost new speakers?
Zd-sarcasm is a wonderful thing. Try to embrace it. 
What's wrong with my almost new speakers?
A couple of years ago when I had hair, I used to part it in the middle and let it fall to each side. Now, most of it has fallen out, especially in the middle. I keep what's left trimmed to about 1/64 of inch. I want to look the same as I used to. ... 
High-efficiency speakers and high-power amps?
Hey Map, if you ever end up in my neighborhood, you're welcome to stop by and listen to my Abbys. 
Upgrade power cord for MC 275 and c2300?
You'll be shocked. Then with high quality outlets (I use Furutech) such as Porter Ports, etc, you'll have sound never imagined before. I also forgo any conditioning. 
MY REVIEW: Merlin TSM MMM BME
BP-it's not trolling when one of us presents a speed bump in an unrealistic Merlin love-fest. I realize that you benefit financially from over-the-top user reviews. However, this is audio and one size does not fit all. Hopefully, AXPONA one day. 
MY REVIEW: Merlin TSM MMM BME
BP-fair enough. I don't recall ever addressing your speakers negatively, as I've not heard them. My scraps are typically with ego-driven silliness under the premise of informational communication. I hope you will be at AXPONA this year so I can he...
