Thanks Steve, I have enjoyed making these and experimenting with different wires and dielectric's. Your efforts in keeping the knowledge base accessible is appreciated.

I have other cables with the same type of Banana connectors. Never an issue. How do you know it is the Aperta?

@samureyex Try installing another set of cables for a few days to see if it happens. I would want to isolate this if possible.  
Victor tt-101
Like @lewm said. for old TT's, I usually pull up with my fingers in the holes and put my thumbs on spindle to create enough resistance to free the platter. I would encourage the seller to try a little harder with care.

The music Mr. Beato is talking about is far from the art of old that touches the soul and challenges our thoughts. If you have access the AI, the program will write a tune according to the algorithms that maximize clicks. In this world, poetry, mu... 
Sansui 2020b turntable Opinions
No direct experience with this TT, but the specs are less than average for this era. Good luck in your search.

@lak I lost track somewhere between 60 and 70 hours of burn in and I am probably over 100 hours as well. My next step is to put my old cables back in to re-compare. @tubeguy80 Yes the Nebo's are a unique design and a space commitment. Not everyon... 
Cartridge for a Sony PS-LX5
As long as the tonearm has a standard headshell that allows you to secure the cartridge with mounting screws then yes, it will work with the MP200 cart, or any standard mount cart.  
Room setting: new amp or new speakers?
Any reccos for essential, not too invasive, room treatment?  I have enjoyed building room treatments. If you are handy you might consider these. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HO7aeraKLsM&t=106s&ab_channel=InTheMix

@tubeguy80 I have all banana connectors on my Aperta speaker cables. I find them more convenient than spades and I have never noticed a difference as long as they are well made with quality metallurgy. My current speakers are Tekton Nebo's, quit l... 
Looking to move to a Tube Integrated setup
+1 on the LTA Z40+  The PL Dialog Premium with KT150 tubes will drive your Moab's nicely. And for sure the Aric Audio Transcend Push Pull with KT150's is a special amp that will also drive your speakers well. And a nice set of EL34 tubes will ad... 
A question on amp matching
What speakers are you trying to drive? The impedance plot and efficiency of your speakers will shed some light on what amps might sound correct. I would not enjoy the sound of a modest ARV receiver driving, for example, Focal Kanta 3's. On paper ...

I have asked Veritas to build a few ethernet cables. A 1M from the wall to my switch, a short run from the switch to my ethernet optical Isolation filter, and another short run from the filter to my streamer. I have a mix of cat6 and cat7 now. Not...

@v-fi Your D-06u and my D-05u may be more alike than my previous post would imply.  After checking, the D-05u also uses a BB chip, the PCM1795. A notable different sound signature compared to my R2R DAC. I must have been thinking of a previous pla...

Another note. I am doing some early morning low level listening and these cable have a marked improvement in clarity, dynamics and resolution in the 55 DB range.
