Dead Can Dance Does it Again
Got this yesterday. Like what I'm hearing so far and the clear vinyl is cool.

Added the Harrison attenuators last night and the LP 2mkII went to another level because the channels are matched correctly now. Is a really good matchup and would recommend this setup strongly. :) 
Speaker cables or interconnects??
Mogami 2549 for interconnects and Mogami 2921 for speaker cable. You can get both for a rather inexpensive amount. I use Audioquest BFAs on all the 2921 speaker cable ends and the Pro-Fi connectors on the 2549 ICs. The less expensive Neutrik conne...

Turntable Upgrade Suggestions
@Dodgealum, I posted a thread very similar to your words above wondering how we really can compare analog setups (tables and cartridges) when it is hard enough to locally hear what we think is in our budget. I have an Xpression III with speed box ... 
VPI Traveler vs Pro-ject Xpression III?
Resurrecting a thread here. Anyone put these side-by-side yet? I hope to be able to do this at the end of October when I plan to purchase a Traveler and complete the overhaul of my analog source.I recently upgraded my phono stage from the Pro-ject... 
Analog Stereo to Run Spin Class
Why do you need a CD player to control the volume when you have a preamp? I would introduce a decent quality line (and maybe with phono also for future options?) mixer with a mike jack between the CD player and the amp and not use your preamp. 
Reduced analog posts and items for sale here?
It seems the number of users, posts and gear inventory continues to dwindle as I write this. What can we do besides revert the new part of the site?

My tuner has the same high gain and the attenuators worked great there.

For the phono channel since one of my listening volume levels is too little rotation on my AR preamp. At that level on the AR the channel volume level is a little mismatched. The attenuators will fix this.

Still liking the LP2 mkII. Wow, it has a ton of gain, even with my high output MC on MM mode. You have to really make sure your records are as clean as possible since it picks up everything. Just ordered a pair of -12db attenuators.

Thanks Redglobe. How hard is it to replace the caps in the LP2mkII? I have very little experience with a soldering iron but I have a choice of two great local shops. Would it be worth going to the Silver Jantzen or just the Superior? I plan on pos...

Redglobe, I think you are correct. I stated a mini review and side by side comparison of phono preamps I've had in this thread:pro-ject tube box 2, vincent pho-8, jasmine LP2mk2
