| Need suggestion for cables of YBA system Pro Audio LA will sell you the terminated Mogami 2549 at that price with the Neutrik Golds (not affiliated with them and I got mine from them). | |
| Need suggestion for cables of YBA system You can get a 3' pair of Mogami 2549 with Neutrik Golds for $24. Purchase some Mogami 2921 bulk cable and have your local shop terminate it with Audioquest BFAs ($10 / pair, comes to $75 with biwire setup and termination labor). You can have some ... | |

| Soundsmith cartridge, opinions appreciated The Benz, even though I only heard it briefly at my dealer, is an upgrade from the turbo MC-3. | |
| Soundsmith cartridge, opinions appreciated The Ortofons and Benzs match up well. The black is very good. I am using the MC-3 turbo on my Xpression III and like it a lot. The Benz Ace is a great performer.I am thinking of upgrading to the Traveler and the Soundsmiths work great with the VPIs. | |

| Jasmine vs Musical Surroundings Nova Phono Pre-Amp I heard the Vincent pho-8 in my system before I bought the Jasmine. Here is my order of preference in the 3 phono preamps I've had:Jasimine LP2.0 mkII - keeper, very big soundstage, very true to tone with nice tube like qualities and tight bottom ... | |
| Rega Apheta - Phono stage A jasmine lp2 mkII can be loaded at 30 and 100. I really like mine. | |
| What turntable, $500 or less @B_limo, did you get a table? I posted my entire Pro-ject vinyl system for sale about a week ago here. Consists of a couple of Ortofon cartridges, Xpression III recently tuned up and a Pro-ject phono tube box II that is only 4 months old (2 months... | |
