The Best Phono cable
Flyfish, after reading your comments, just out of curiosity, I searched Google for which turned up nearly 14,000 hits - and although I didn't read every one ;-) am overwhelming majority seemed to be audio cable makers who have incorporated some ki...

Syntax, although you have stated some obvious truths, I'm not sure the point you are making? With over nine (I lost count) different cartridges in your system, you should find it easy to fit one of them to some cable or other ;-))My personal quest...

Syntax - you take a rather dim view of high end cable makers' integrity it seems ;-) not that one shouldn't be cautious, of course -- however, due diligence can clear up a lot of assumptions.Actually, Purist uses a paste called Ferox, made with po...

I guess some of you know that Hovland closed their doors, and supposedly Graham purchased and will be making the MG2.Flyfish, I'm not totally sure about this (anyone chime in if I'm missing something), but of all the phono cables mentioned here, o... 
Cartridge Suggestions for a Black Widow Tonearm
A little correction: The BW TA is low EFFECTIVE MASS; not low COMPLIANCE.'Compliance' refers to a cartridge's suspension material: more squishy = high compliance; less squishy = low compliance.The BW has a low effective mass and so it's high compl...

Middle Atlantic to repair Exactpower EP-15A's
Hi Dave,The early units were susceptible to damage from inrush current (overcurrent) since they were not protected by thermistors or other current limiting devices. Whether or not they actually suffered damage was due to a combination of factors; ...

Most manufacturers (including SB) will configure phono cable any way you want. They should all include a ground wire+lug at the phono preamp end, and the RCA/RCA types will also have a ground lug at the TT end. See at the bottom of this page: http...

Chris, I would urge you to include the Silver Breeze from Silver Audio. Max is very accommodating and will send it to you on approval, so you have nothing to lose. At under $600 it's an amazing performer far outclassing similarly priced products (...

Well Chris, there you have it. Somewhere in this excellent group of candidates IS a "best" for you and your system.I did want to point out however, that "system synergy" is not entirely a hit and miss affair. Yes, try out cables until you close in... 
Help Turntable too far from preamp
You can add a short pair of extension patch cords as Stanwal suggests, but if you're planning to use the setup this way for any length of time, and don't want to degrade the sound, I'd advise you to:1.) have the TA cables cut short and terminated ...

The best I've heard so far (in MY system ;-) is the Purist. I have their middle-of-the-range Venustas (MSRP $1950) but there are even more expensive models like the Dominus and the new solid core Provectus (which I've not heard but sure would like...
