I have a confession to make
So many responses. And some real fine ones at that. You do realize that there was a lot of truth to what I wrote. Actually, all of it... I am certainly obssesive /compulsive, and I always have been. Everything I have ever done has been all or noth... 
Graham Slee GSP Era Gold Mk. V - anyone have it???
I was using the Rogue Stealth, and a CJ pv2 before this. 
I need audition advice
I am using the Grado Reference Sonata with my Vpi. $416.00 Can't beat that price. Great cart. 
Graham Slee GSP Era Gold Mk. V - anyone have it???
Yep. But no one is going to admit that this $750 pre is better than their $2000 unit though. Like I have said before. I can not believe how good this piece is. I expected all notes to be solid like the reviews described. But I wasn't prepared for ...

Audio Classics in Vestel. The most Mcintosh gear you have ever seen in one bldg. 
Gruve Glide
Actually the gruv glide removes any static. So if anything does become attached to the album, a quick little puff blows it right off. There is definitly less groove noise after using the gruv glide. I believe it is like a $1000 upgrade to your pho... 
Gruve Glide
Yeah, I wish I could. My job has drug testing so I found long ago that my job was more important. Damn it!! 
Record-playing Rituals?
I use the Vpi HW 16.5. Actually, I just got it today. Really nice machine. But I also picked up a can of Gruv Glide. This seems like really incredible stuff. Can I do better? 
Gruve Glide
Yeah, I have to agree with you. It is definatly a dry lubricant. Hey, the stuff works great. Don't get me wrong, I think it's worth twice what it costs. But if I knew what it was, I wouldn't mind saving a buck or two. My huffing days are long gone...

I use a Grade reference Sonata with my Vpi HW19 jr. All of the scuttlebutt was I would have a hum issue with this combo. I have not had any problems at all. In fact, it is just the opposite. I am really happy with this combo.Good luck 
Who's the Cadillac of Hi-End Audio?
Hands down: BOSE. no exceptions!!! 
Rogue 88, Marsh A400S, or Audio Research VS110?
I used to have the 88, 99 combo and was less than thrilled. I certainly expected better performance than I was getting. I now am using the M120's. HUGE leap. My entire system was transformed. I had no idea how poorly the 88 was sounding until I pu... 
$ 1,000 A/V receiever recomendations...
I wouldn't consider myself uninformed. More like experienced and educated in this area. If the Yamaha chip was any good. Don't you think everyone would use theirs?
