hi jim, not much experience w/recent hi-output coils - an old sumiko blue-point was used prior to my ortofon. if ya awreddy have that bps, i'd use it 'til a nice lo-hrs hi-end cartridge comes awailable on the used market. (there's a transfiguratio...

hi jim,ain't life a bitch, havin' more than one obsession? ;~) i yust recently installed the full-stebro exhaust w/euro down pipe, & an sz hedder - *really* opens tings up... :>) re: cartridges, believe it or not, the ortofon mc25-fl, at re... 
Who pays for busted stuff?
i bought used wheels once, which were sent ups. they were bent, not noticeable to the naked eye, but *wery* noticeable when on the balance machine w/tyres. :doug s, 
I need to add a SUB. Please HELP ME
i'd suggest an outboard electronic x-over - the marchand xm-9, & a pair of vmps subs, which model depends more on room-size than anyting else. this set-up, w/a decent used solid-state amp, will cost less than even *one* comparable powered sub,... 
The "right" speaker
diapason adamantes are an excellent choice. a small, drop-dead gorgeous stand-mounted monitor that will do an honest 40hz. also one of the most holographic speakers i've ever heard. i heard the adamantes II; the adamantes III, the current wersion,...

i'd recommend oracle's mods - the sub-chassis weight, the bearing, the platter mat, & the delrin suspension upgrade. except for the motor, yule now have a mk-v. for a motor upgrade, go for the origin-live motor/power-supply upgrade - much less... 
help w/ preamp to 5.1 receiver hookup
as the above comments infer, i don't tink yule be able to use yer receiver unless it has pre-outs. if it does, then it should work as described above... good luck, doug s. 
Best Phono Pre-amp..for the money?
it was also good to read the follow-ups - a person obviously sceptical about exotic cable being worthwhile, yet he's keeping the stuff in his system from the only mfr who had the guts to take him up on his challenge - this article should be posted...

sibelius, thanks for the update. while i can't blame yer unwillingness to get into the tweekiness, i feel that even if ya did *no* x-over mods, wertical bi-amping would be at least as much of an improvement over bi-wired monoblocs as the monoblocs... 
Do I want more bass?
check out vmps - ewe can get a pair of their larger subs brand-gnu, coupled w/a decent used hi-power solid-state amp & a gnu marchand xm-9 active x-over, for less than *one* top-model velodyne or rel. vmps makes killer subs period - at their r...
