Good quality RCA TT switch?
Well, after a couple hours trying to make Google my friend, I'm inclined to agree. There doesn't seem to be much in between the two options you mention Rdavwhitaker.Amazing that there isn't a simple high quality stereo RCA A/B switch on the market... 
Good quality RCA TT switch?
Thanks Albert, but the Skipjack is priced at $1650 new! That's more than I am willing to pay for an A/B switch. 
Emotiva XDA-1 DAC?
Wondered if there was any user experience - or reviews - available (from sources other than the Emotiva Lounge) on this DAC yet? 
Cartridge for VPI Classic?
@Jazzgene - Is this the regular Grado Statement or one of the 1.5mv versions VPI had made for them? I wish a Grado for my Scoutmaster but am a little conflicted as to whether I should get one of their regular low output models or one of those cust... 
VPI VMW-9 Arm: Signature versus Memorial?
Thanks Ig - interesting pics. @Bsme - posted here after no initial response at A-A - & in fact the questions are different. But I didn't realize posting in different fora was forbidden ... 
Emotiva XDA-1 DAC?
saw the reference in stereophile but it seemed to be referring mainly to the array of features offered (rather than SQ) & in fact, it wasn't clear whether the guy had actually heard one.as with many of the more complicated Emotiva products it ... 
Emotiva XDA-1 DAC?
thanks for your input folks - i have been searching & haven't found much in the way of user reviews (mostly just back & forth about about features, etc.). but apparently this is b/c so few have shipped so far. i did pick up on the volume i... 
Emotiva XDA-1 DAC?
Thanks Hotmailjbc, I have browsed the Emotiva lounge fairly thoroughly but didn't find much of use there. Can you point me to the reviews you mention? 
New Zu Mission cable
Nope, a new site for the new year - & one that doesn't allow browsing (at least for now). Either the folks at Zu have a lot of extra time on their hands or there is some major indecision in the ranks. This is - I think - the third site remake ... 
New Zu Mission cable
Jedinite: I haven't tried of the new IC's - only the Mission speaker cables - & to me they just didn't sound as good as the Libtechs. They seemd to have less clarity & soundstage definition. It may well be a compatibility thing (I have Mag... 
New Zu Mission cable
@ Tholt - I'm not sure, as I don't work for Zu, but I assume it was a product rationalization &/or marketing rethink. A shame in a way as I was planning to get another couple of sets of the Libtech cables. But I am not as impressed with the Mi... 
AC Power - two circuits better than one?
Jea48 Thanks, I don't want to get into the details but it's not possible - the outlet that's most convenient is part of a circuit that extends upstairs. In any event, it's not my house so reorganizing circuits on the breaker just isn't an option. ... 
AC Power - two circuits better than one?
Actually, I had an electrician in on Friday - but as I wrote in my original post, rewiring is not a possibility. It's a very old house & not mine. 
AC Power - two circuits better than one?
Thanks again for your input folks! I will endeavor to load as much as I can onto the 20amp outlet & the remainder onto the 15amp outlet. The difficulty is just physical connection - too many things for too few outlets (in the wrong places!). A... 
AC Power - two circuits better than one?
As predicted, apparently not all 3 branch circuits are on the same leg. Unfortunately, the configuration of outlets in the room on the same leg isn't exactly convenient. Hence my next question: If I keep all the audio components on a single leg (2...
