suggestions for new phono stage
The Aesthetix Rhea is a high gain phono stage so, no problem with your cartridge but, it is physically big and uses ten tubes. I have a Rhea Signature that easily beats the Chinook and also has three inputs. A used Rhea fits your budget's upper li... 
Suggestions for phono preamp for LOMC's
I second the suggestion for a Chinook. I recommend keeping an eye out on all the "sites" for one that has a set of upgrade opamps in it.   
What would I gain/lose?
This is not exactly on topic but, a parallel situation that I had to address and maybe will be of use for someone else reading this. My very elderly mother had a Salamander cabinet with the space for small speakers above the regular shelves. We tr... 
Transparent Audio power cords
@acman3 , I've tried that, doesn't help. The more fanatical types see that as a challenge and an open invitation to continue to try to intervene in other people's lives to "save" them from themselves. Yet, I don't see the federal or state governme... 
Transparent Audio power cords
Well, my fellow audiophiles, we may be doomed. We are again condemned for failing to pray at the alter of the oscilloscope. The wrath of the oscilloscopians is upon us. Are we to be smitten by the gods of the cult of the lead and leather eared for...

The Jico SAS/B Stylus VN 5 MR
I have a question for everyone on this thread. All of you are far more knowledgeable than me about this subject. I have a V15 type V cart that is not in use at the moment. It has an Ed Saunders stylus. I think that those styli were sort of an "eco... 
Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets
My view is that there are two main considerations about receptacles (also includes cord plugs and IEC connectors). First, what is the base metal used for the product. There is basic brass that is the norm for commercial products, Hubbell, etc. Th...

Same here. I also got stung by a Reverb seller.   
Starting Over and I need your help
I'm not familiar with your components except for the Node 2i. The sound of the Node can be improved with an aftermarket power supply kit. There are several choices available. I bought the LHY kit from Beatechnik which is in Singapore. I would reco...
