Power conditioner vs line isolator
Likewise; very few do anything really worthwhile in my opinion, hence building my own. 3 friends have now ordered one each such is the difference..Best regards, Paul. 
Who listens primarily to Redbook CD?
LP and CD in equal measures, CD being mostly 16/44. I had been getting more and more heavily biased towards LP as far superior SQ until the power supply I had been working on was tested for the first time. This revealed that digital suffers quite ... 
Tube Phono with Tube Integrated Amp?
Allnic H1201 will be a great choice for you.. 
The all conquering Zerostat
Not a zerostat, but i'm still using my 1987 path record brush, and it still does a great job. It got cleaned twice in that time :) Bill, can you elaborate on the Furutech?  
Power conditioner vs line isolator
The virtues you suggest are what you can expect from a balanced output isolation transformer, which in itself is preferable to line conditioners which are inconsistent and somewhat fussy with what they power. They are totally different options ele... 
Diana Krall - New Vinyl - Good sound - Poor Vinyl

Best tonearm for London Reference Cartridge
Presumably tonearm tube material is paramount along with bearing design. SAEC could work very well here? My WE 506/30 would be a good start point if i do consider a Reference, though maybe a shorter arm would be preferable?

Breezer, Pls keep me posted on your thoughts of LR 4Point, and any other. No mention of SME V here? 
Wilson New Speaker Master Chronosonic
I take no notice of these publicity stunts; and assume that if companies need to charge these figures for their products then they can't be very good at their job.. What does amaze me is just how many companies seem to think that they need a produ... 
Capacitance loading and fixed coil cartridges
Karl,For MC, as low a capacitance as is possible is preferred. See below:http://www.extremephono.com/Loading.htmhttp://sound.whsites.net/articles/cartridge-loading.htmlI would suppose that your tonearm wire and interconnect would produce about 100...
