Best Tweak???
Pro Gold connection cleaner, a big step up in detail and 'clean' soundalso, Expressimo Heavyweight for Rega tonearm, a vast improvement over the original.I will look into the Walker SST (whatever it is) they have excellent products. 
JM Reynaud Twin MK3 vs. JM Lab Electra 906
I have Reynaud Trentes and I know they are easy to drive. I think the Twins are easy to drive too but I do not know about the 906. I would find that out and see if it is compatible with your amp. You can save some money when you do not need the am... 
A little levity on September 1st
Like stated in the movie Office Space "Someone has a case of the Mondays" 
what's your favorite album cover?
The original Electric Ladyland by Jimi Hendrix is not bad, those who have seen it will know where my head is at...Ashra, you stole my thunder with, In The Court Of The Crimson King - King Crimsonit was the first album to come to mind for me :)all ...

Years ago (15-20) I used LAST on my records and still play them with no ill effect. I was just looking at one of my LAST stickers last night (the little dot on the record lable after you apply LAST) and wondering if there would be an improvement i... 
Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables?
I too usually recommend Audience AU24 ICs but for your price you may want to try the less expensive Conductor series of Audience. They are supposed to offer similar tone but not at quite the refined level the AU24 has. BTW in my system the AU24 is... 
Expressismo Heavyweight for Rega 300B FYI
Listener57I feel in addition to my original comments I would add that there seems to be a 'shift' in tone. Where it was very warm before and rather heavy in the bass it now is quite neutral and any emphasis moved up (IMO) to the upper bass/lower m... 
Music you would like to turn someone on to.
Weather Report/Zawinal I cannot stop listening. So complex and simple at the same time! Really beautiful music.BTW Marakanetz, I am a big Can fan, especially Tago Mago!Would anyone with a big list care to list their favorite 2 or 3? I can not affo... 
connection of the better sounding IC ,please
you will get varying responses on this question. most will say use the better one from source to pre but I had a different experience and clearly preferred the better IC between pre and power.try for yourselftrust the force luke... 
Just a thought
Eva had an amazing voice. I think most will agree Blues Alley is her swansong but I also like Imagine. Songbird is great too but is a greatest hits collection and you would duplicate a few songs you already have, probably still worth buying. 
standard counterweight vs drop counterweight
What is the best counterweight for the Rega 300B?I have a Grado Sonata and would like to tighten the bass and keep the beautiful midrange. I presume all counterweight upgrades do this but which does it best? Has anyone tested more than one?thanksPhil 
good DVD/CDP combo ?
GeoffgarciaIn answer to your post on my thread I know you want the signature version as it is supposed to be much better than non sig. I know gen 4 will play CDR CD and mine (gen 3) will not. That is the extent of my limited knowledge, I was lucky... 
good DVD/CDP combo ?
I recently bought a Muse model nine signature generaton three (WHEW) DVD/CD player and it easily bettered my Sony DVP9000ES in both picture and (especially) sound quality which is apsolutely terrific on both CD and DVD. I compared mine to a Electr...
