Kimber Kable:Spker Cable: Which offers best sound?
I replaced 4TC Kimbers with Nordost Blue Heaven Revision II Bi- Wires. No better than what I had. Save your money. I only did it because I made money on the Kimbers and got the Nordost for 210.00 2M 
rega RB1000 changing cartridges
I agree. I bought a new Rega RP3 RP303 w/ RP303 arm. I installed a Linn Adikt 6.5Mv MM cart without removing the arm. I also replaced carts on 2 Sondek LP 12's that way. Ittock LVII and Ekos Arm. Just be careful and it won't hurt anything. Linn ha... 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
Don't make mistakes...Buy the right equipment the first time, and you won't fall into the upgrade trap. I have all the money I want for this hobby, but spending it foolishly just isn't for me. Quality doesn't cost, it pays. Happy listening. 
Sub? Can't Decide
M&K sk 10 8'' 150 watt sub on ebay for 212.00 plus 28.00 shipping. I bought 2 in may and they are great for the money. I offered 190.00 and got the price even though I bought them a few days apart. You'll be surprised how well they work, and t...

Take an interest in something else or your system will never be completed. When it comes to sales Johnny Boey is the order of the day. 
Dynavector 20x2H vs. Karat 17D3
Good luck with the RP3's. I got a new one in May and kept the Linn Adikt MM and it plays just fine. I don't miss either one of the 2 Linn Sondek 12's that I sold. And they were triple the cost to boot. 
CARY -- WHERE ARE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES?
I'm surprised you figured that out so quickly. It doesn't take a fortune to assemble a great well tuned system. I never said it did. I never said I was a genius OR a narcissist(hater) YOU did. I never attacked anything you said in this forum, like... 
CARY -- WHERE ARE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES?
The only way you can be misfortunate in this hobby, is by not having enough to be in the game in the first place. It doesn't take a genius or a hater to figure that out. Or does it? 
CARY -- WHERE ARE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES?
It depends on what one considers a problem. As I said, some people expect too much. Good luck gettin' it. Seeing that I retired 9 years ago at 49 (could have been sooner) no, I am not simply ignorant. You will not accomplish what I have at that ag... 
CARY -- WHERE ARE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES?
If you have trouble with Cary, you'll most likely be the type that has trouble with everyone. Some people expect too much. They fixed an item for me that was no longer under warranty, and picked up the shipping on the way back. They were always he... 
CARY -- WHERE ARE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES?
I needed a cold solder jount repaired on my CAD 120's amp. The unit was out of warranty( 3 years) and Cary still honered it and did the repair for free. I was going to get the MKII upgrade since they had the unit there, but Steve told me that sinc... 
Recommending a tube preamp for Linn amps/speakers
Anubis, changing to a tube amp will do the most for sound. I added the Cary SLP98P to an all Linn system, then a Cary CAD 120's amp and it made all the difference in the world. It worked well with the Katans, Ninkas, Majik 140's, and all of the Kl... 
Audiogon members poor packing and shipping damage
Sabai, I wasn't being funny. If you win the case paypal pays you back then goes after the seller. The whole police dept. would be loaded before I got through with that seller. I wish you and/or anyone else that is in the same situation the best of...

Send some pot to the local police station in his area with his return address on it and a note stating that the cops will never stop him. 
Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?
If the wives complain find a girlfriend.
