Windfield Cartridge
Benjie great system you have, question - did you ever own an Ortofon Jubilee? Wondering what the gap in performance is, I have owned the Jubilee for several years and it has be a great and reliable performer. 
Classe CA-201 Issue
They are super sensitive. I had this problem with the original CA 200 and it was an MIT speaker cable. I sent it back twice to MIT and they could not find anything wrong with it. They tried to put in a zobel and it still did it. Always occurred se... 
Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh?
I keep coming back to this thread like getting stuck on a bad movie. I have been a longtime content owner of 501 monoblocks. It is peculiar that some of the most vocal do not bother posting their systems on here for those who could learn more abou...

Recycle. That's what I did. 
LCR phono stages we know about
I agree with Jfrech's analogy. The Allnic does have a palpability and involving presentation that is addicting. I have owned the Allnic H3000 for about 8 months and still learning it and still trying to figure out the best load as there are 16 opt... 
I'm in a preamp pickle: ARC Ref 1 VS CJ 17LS
VAC has always been on my short list for preamps, but I have never seen one live. Even at shows..Labtec, you threw the first blow and took the thread down this path. You accomplished your goal.

I'm in a preamp pickle: ARC Ref 1 VS CJ 17LS
Good call John, I have always had CJ preamps in my system, until recently, with my Thiels. I never went higher up the food chain that a premier 14, I beleive the 17 started CJ into the more "revealing" sound. 
Ortofon Anna or Transfuration Proteus?
Great question Bigdish, cannot offer insight but interested like you. Hopefully we get some feedback. 
Surreal Speakers: Made to order in Virginia, USA
Nice call Rushton, I heard these speakers at the Capitol Audio Fest this year with Atmasphere amplification. They sounded very nice and the design and build of these speakers was beautiful. 
DeHavilland Ultraverve 3 vs Emotive Poeta
Cannot compare but can recommend the Dehavilland based on experience. I have it paired with some fairly heavy hitters and it passes through beautiful music. I use it with NOS Sylvania signal tube, I would call it more accurate than tubey.I have co... 
3k to spend...
Krelldog, I do not know the best route but I will share mine when I went back to vinyl about 8 years ago. I do know you have to stretch as far as you can $$ for each component - to ward off upgraditis.I went with a basis 1400 signature, Hadcock to...
