LP ? Undersized spindle hole.
The hole is supposed to measure 0.286" + 0.001" -0.002". I would use a tapered reamer, like the first one, on the following list: https://fdtool.com/catalog/reamers/morse-taper-reamers-2/ Insert reamer until it touches(perpendicular to label/vinyl... 
Cable Snake Oil Antidote
Both Ocean Way Recording and Bernie Grundman Mastering have used Cardas cabling.(can’t swear to what they’re using now). Ask them, if it really matters to you! You may have heard of a few of their clients. ie: http://www.berniegrundmanmastering.co...

@ghosthouse - I was agreeing with you, outside of the fact, only 24 posts would put them behind the typical naysayer’s curve.

Can interconnect cables improve sound stage height, width, and depth?
@fsonicsmith -  Excellent observations, ALL. 
Can interconnect cables improve sound stage height, width, and depth?
Some years back, I had decided to replace my Silver Audio Hyacinths, and gotten a pair of Wireworld’s Platinum Eclipse interconnects. With the Hyacinths, I was enjoying a wall to wall sound stage(with attendant, accurate, imaging) and excellent/re... 
Latest Oppo"s selling for twice retail
It’s called, "supply & demand". If someone has an item, that is very desirable & rare- what’s the problem with seeing what the market will bear? No one, selling OPPO products, is holding a gun to anyone’s head(far as I know). 
Delete "Cable Snake Oil Anecdote" Thread!
@rja- Girls just wanna have fu-un! Don’t the neigh-sayers, all seem to sound alike after a while? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gROO7xSTxfY

Seeking arm suggestions for a Grace F9R
Glad I checked in, sooner than my usual once a week. Silly me, to have trusted the Grace compliance figures, on the Vinyl Engine site. I’ve no doubt, their own manuals, would be the authority. VE doesn’t mention at what frequency their figures are... 
Seeking arm suggestions for a Grace F9R
Mr chakster- The original Grace F9R’s compliance, was 12 x 10-6cm/Dyne(kinda medium compliance), as were the majority of the F9 series. Many of Mr Ledermann’s Soundsmiths, are in the 22 to 28 x 10-6cm/Dyne range. Don’t know if he can, does or will...

Actually, I appreciate the incessant dribble, from the cable neigh-sayers(as in donkey-speak).  The snorts of derision, keep my sinuses clear. 
Seeking arm suggestions for a Grace F9R
According to the Vinyl Engine Resonance Evaluator, the 7G effective mass, of a Magnepan Untrac I, combined with your cart’s compliance/weight, will yield a 10Hz resonance. I’ve used both Denon 103D’s(same compliance as your Grace/1.5G more weight)...
