Best Tonearm Lifter?
Tried both Tru-Lift and Little Fwend.  IMO, the Little Fwend (LF) is better built and was less hassle to install.  Had issues with tuning the Tru-Lift to trigger- tighten/loosen.  In my case, the LF had a slightly smaller footprint (diameter of ba... 
for Los Angeles can anyone recommend someone to hire install phono cartridge
I have the Feickert Protractor, Adjust + and Fozgometer that can help you get the best alignment for your cartridge.  Not a professional - best if you know how to adjust/work your tonearm.  I am in Pasadena, but only available on weekends and afte... 
Looking for the best moving coil cart that is around $5K used
Also, I agree with the folks - TT quality is a factor.

http://www.high-endaudio.com/RC-Cartridges.htmlZYX Universe II X - is also a great cartridge. I upgraded from the XV-1S - huge difference in detail. 
Fozgometer/Adjust + Exchange
Now that I think about it, the issue started occurring right after I changed the 12AU7's for a higher gain 12AV7's.  Could be the gain, that makes sense now.  I have gotten a new ARC Ref Phono 2SE that has a low gain setting - I'll give that a sho...

ROGERS PA-1A Phono
Review that talks about the 12AV7'shttp://www.tonepublications.com/review/rogers-pa-1a-phono-preamplifier/ 
ROGERS PA-1A Phono
Rob-Resurrecting thread.  Used Dynavector XV-1S (~0.34 mv) and currently using ZYX Universe II X (~0.24 mV) - both have produced good results with the Rogers PA 1A.  The biggest difference was when I replaced the 12AU7's with 12AV7's and a pair of... 
Demo Windfeld Ortofon Cart at Musicdirect
Nandric-When mfrs sell refurbished items - that to me means that it was initially damaged or didn't meet the standards for whatever reason and hence had to be repaired/fixed. I've always chosen "open box/demos" over "refurbished" items that are ... 
Dr. Feickert Protractor
Thanks all for the input. I actually ended up getting it.  Relatively easy to use.  I wasn't there when dealer set up my table, but it was way off.  Sound actually made a difference.  I also got the Fieckert Adjust +.  It was fun to use, but since...
