Food: What does the typical audiophile eat?

Plz advice! Tannoy Kensington Gr with Leben 600x?
The Kensington are 93dB for 1 watt at 1 meter. 28 watts would be plenty loud.   
Power Cable in White
Why not run your cables in some white plastic conduit mounted at floor level on the baseboard? That way you are not confined to white.  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Spent the evening swapping out the bearing in my second Garrard 401. Another veil removed with a nice uptick in transient response and reduced coloration. Not easy with a 40 pound plinth.

End Game Turntable suggestions
Well done. Glad it worked out. My endgame has been a tricked out rebuilt Garrard 401.

An Objective Review of the Tekton Double Impact Speakers
@audiofreak32 I don't understand why you needed to cancel the order after you seemed to accept the build time. That would piss anyone off. No saying Eric behaved in a courteous manner, but... You didn't list your Tekton 4-10 subs!  
Music Hall's "Classic" turntable :How does it compare to other similarly priced T/T's
Pioneer PLX 1000 at that price. I'd save longer and get a Tecnics SL1200G or Rega 3 or equivalent.   
Cadenza Bronze on a Fatboy
Can’t imagine how you are getting that unless the cartridge is really short.

Rumble showed up on NEW record???
If possible, try the table with lid down, and with lid removed.   
Room treatment
Make sure you listen before and after adding room treatments. Sometimes they can suck the life from the music. And never use the foam stuff.
