Best Cable Match for LFD LE III and Proac D Two
Ttorigin - thanks for the redirect to JPS. Looking at the Superconductor + Petite (8ft/$699 + opt WBT locking bananas). Added them to the short list... 
Record-playing Rituals?
1. Carbon fiber brush 3-4 rotations with a slightly moist finger to compensate for drag on every listen, every side. I like to think I've mastered this technique so as not to put unnecessary strain on the belt.2. Zerodust after a session when digg...

Best Cable Match for LFD LE III and Proac D Two
@Jabas: what cables have you auditioned them against and found they bested with the LFD? I currently have Analysis Plus Clear Oval's.I pinged Austin Hi Fi for more info. Thanks for the tip... 
LFD LE III w/Phono Input?
Well the LFD LE III w/phono adds a thousand dollars onto the price. Being a Class A amp this may not be the best way to go (having an internal phono stage); seeing as I can get a decent phono pre-amp for less than that.Now looking at the MOON LP3 ...

Denjo - On your setup how long are your cables that you're using? 
Stuck on cabinet color
Shadorne - I'm trying to convince myself that your opening statement is not true but I can't... I really like the light color but for exactly the reasons you stated (conspicuous and resale value plus it's more money) I'm thinking you're right... 
YBA Initial vs Integre vs Audio Refinement
I thinking of buying the YBA Initial. The specs say:Inputs : 5 lines inputs : tuner, CD, video, tape, aux 1 optional phono MM or MC. I assume the " aux 1 optional phono MM or MC" means where I jack in a phono amp? Then in says: "version : line or ...
