Tables That Feature Bearing Friction
From a physics perspective, using the bearing drag to introduce a well defined load for the motor is certainly “sound” as nicely explained by Dougdeacon and others above.The DPS differs from some of the other tables mentioned above: the bearing fr... 
tube audio dealer in SF Bay area?
I second Matt at Pitch Perfect Audio - incredible service, great to talk to, and very laid back and relaxed atmosphere at his shop. Even if outside your price range, this well tell you what's possible with tubes (and be upfront with Matt, I am sur...

A good cartridge match for Thorens 150 mkII?
I would consider the Denon DL103 or DL160.That arm is pretty heavy (sorry no accurate numbers known) and the Shure M97xe has pretty high compliance. Probably not the best match. 
How to pack Cain Abby speakers
It's all wrapped in bubble wrap using the stretch wrap. Mine had the bases mounted when they shipped - lot of bubble wrap around the bases too, although you have to be careful not to make it too thick as otherwise the speakers won't fit next to ea... 
Audience Au24 - Did any one have problems....?
Never had a problem with Audience either.If you are sure the problem is the cable and if it persists I would consider shipping it to Audience. I am sure they will do a good job repairing/replacing the cable without much extra costs. 
Is Selling Direct Viable for Manufacturers?
The big ticket items could not prosper without the use of talented companies/individuals who can properly represent them though.I mean, who is really going to spend upwards of 5K on a component mail order? Maybe a few, but I think the majority of ... 
Anyone compare Devore and Harbeth speakers?
Paul, I completely agree - I haven't heard a multi driver speakers that is as coherent and integrates the two drivers as perfectly as the Super 8. Also, I did notice the outstanding articulate bass as well. Well, if the slight shout of the Fostex ... 
USB 2.0 does 96Hz?
I never had any problems streaming 24/96Khz data to my Benchmark DAC1USB using the USB1.1 protocol. USB 2.0 is supposed to go up to 192KHz with the right drivers and hardware. 
Phono Preamp Recommendation
The new Pass will be around $3800.Don't be fooled by the size of some of the units. I preferred the JLTI to some much bigger units (Aesthetix Rhea, Sutherland Ph.D., EAR834, Wright WPL200CC) and it did offer a head to head race with the Pass XOno.... 
Phono Preamp Recommendation
Since you have a Dynavector cartridge and prefer solidstate I would look at the Dyna P75 MKII first. A friend and I preferred the Dyna unit to the Wright using a 20XM on a Scoutmaster. Otherwise, the Pass XOno or the Vacuumstate JLTI go in the sam... 
Anyone compare Devore and Harbeth speakers?
The Devore Super 8s were very fast and detailed with an image that was unreal. The driver coherence is unmatched in my opinion - the sound seems to be coming from a single driver. They lacked the body of the Harbeths and sounded lean by comparison... 
Can digitizing vinyl match CD?
My friend has been "ripping" some vinyl to 24/96 using the Alesis masterdisc. I did compare the high-rez files to vinyl and CDs if possible and they certainly are getting closer to vinyl. I think if the LP outclasses the CD there is a good chance ... 
iMac to DAC via 3.5 mini-phono jack/RCA IC?
for my music server system, i isolate the computer from the music by using the airport express units. I don't know, every time I try the Airport Express into a DAC (Museatex Bitstream, Benchmark, Lavry, and some others) it was downright unlistenab...
