Beware - FedEx Drivers are forging signatures for delivery confirmation
Bottom line - UPS and FedEx having been taking advantage of the American people and charging extravagant prices for insuring packages which they are supposed to deliver as their core function. Perhaps they should learn from Amazon on how to delive... 
Beware - FedEx Drivers are forging signatures for delivery confirmation
In Southern California, I had to either track down a UPS driver or drive to the downtown LA UPS location (which I did not want to do) to get my insured package accepted (Lyra Atlas cartridge). The UPS store would not accept high value insured item...

TechDas Speed Issue
You need to contact the dealer - TechDas (Japan) will tell you that as well.  Hopefully its a simple fix and you won't have to send it in.    
Anyone Try a Mutech Hayabusa MC Cartridge with a Channel D Lino C Phono Stage
Technically, it should work great,  Its got low impedance (1.5 ohms)  
Feel Silly Asking This Question Alignment Parameters
+1 on the SmarTractor - I swear by it.  It costs ~ $600, but totally worth it. Might be able to find a used one for less if you're not in a hurry.    
SEEKING A NEW AUDIO RACK
Butcher Block Acoustics Rigid Rack cheaper and better. Not a good idea to enclose equipment that emit heat like that. I prefer their open design better also configurable.

MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY?
I can only compare MC and MI's - haven't had the need to try MM's.  I just started listening with the Soundsmith Hyperion Mk 2 ES and I can say that there is some refinement with the MI technology. It has become my favorite cartridge now.  
Phono preamp with multiple inputs?? Suggestions please!!
There's an Audio Research Ref 3 phonostage (in black) for sale at $5500 here (A'gon) - might be worth looking into. It is an excellent phonostage - however, don't get it mixed up with the older Reference 3 which also goes by the same name.  
Wonder Why No Japanese Retippers?
It is considered sacrilegious to revive the dead in Japan - the retippers would have to perform harikari - hence no retippers in Japan.  Arigatou!  
DId you get that paperwork from the IRS about purchasing? over $600.00
@andym23456 - can you provide a link to the information you've cited above?  I'd be interested to read it in more detail.  Thanks in advance.  
SUT With a Manley Steelhead RC?
@lewm - specs at https://www.manley.com/hifi/mshlr  However, there are two numbers listed 50 mV and 93 mV at various dB levels - the 50 mV likely at the lower 50 dB gain.
