Loricraft PSU for Garrard - Do I need it ?
Mine is a Garrard 301 oil bearing. In terms of speed stability, mine is stable even off the AC wall supply. But adding the monarchy regenerator had a clear improvement on smoothening out the sound and reducing noise floor. I mean just seeing speed... 
Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ?

Your jaw dropping cables
I have not dived into the megabuck range of cables (Odin, Zensati, Transparent Opus, Acrolink) but have had considerable experience with not-so-cheap range of cables (aka below $3k). ASI Liveline is one of them, they do something really special in... 
Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ...
Soldevere, it should be a good match though I am not sure if the Aro can bring out all the resolution and extension that the Art9 is capable of. I had the aro too. It is musical and smooth but it is not very high resolution imo 
What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin?
Funkfirm, Rega, Technics SP10, Gararrd 301/401 Turntables all do terrific with Rock. They have to be in good condition and matched with the right tonearm and cart. You can also look at the reference Lenco by Jean Nantais. Get a nice Rega tonearm t... 
Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ...
Here is an update that may help all our music loving ART-9 owners, I just bought a 47 Labs phonocube phono stage. It is considered a bit tricky to match all cartridges because it is a fixed impedance phono stage which amplifies current instead of ... 
Lyra Etna Versus Kleos
I know it sounds very ambitious but seldom will you hear such a recommendation, get an Audio Technica ART9, compare the Lyras to it and then decide if any of them is worth their money. I have heard the Lyras and owned the Skala for a good period o... 
Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ...
Enjoy the ART9 Al. Stories like these makes everyone of us happy. As the cartridge breaks in, you will hear more effortlessness, deeper bass notes and overall a sense of dissappearing act that is hard to come by. Which tonearm are you using with t... 
Clearaudio Emotion SE: Good choice for Classic Rock?
Funkfirm turntables do everything that Rega does but with more authority like a bigger TT. 
Class "A" phono cartridge discussion.
All ZYX sound very 3D and Airy. How much of that is natural (really recorded) is debatable. On one hand they sound spectacular on the other hand they can sound somewhat artificial (cooked) with all the extra glitters it tries to bring to the table... 
Class "A" phono cartridge discussion.
The ART-9 in my system has beaten some very well regarded $4-$5k cartridges. I have also heard the TSD-15 many times, in different systems but not my own system. The commonality between the TSD-15 and ART-9 is both of them are very lively and dyna... 
Tonearm recommendation
Because it's made by someone who actually knows something about audio instead of someone who is a pretender....Still there seems to be no limit on pricing of these products. It has really no relevance to the actual cost or research. I mean it isnt... 
Tonearm recommendation
Yes, the acoustical systems Axiom tonearm is amazing. Why is it so expensive ???? 
Help with picking the right phono pre for the rest of my system please!
Check out the David Berning phonostage or something like the Doshi Alaap. 
UPGRADE TIME!! Preamp vs. Speakers???
Preamp.Speakers will be more of the same thing.
