@invictus005 Thank you for pointing out my lack of intelligence... as well as that of Atmasphere.   And further, thanks for citing all that wonderful expertise you have, facts to back up your opinion and your personal experience that backs up your... 
Line Magnetic quality
I have a Primaluna.  It was made in China, and the build quality is excellent.  No reason the Line Magnetic can't also be an excellent piece! 
Phono cable advice.
@chakster, thanks for the sage advice!  Going forward, I will avoid touching or holding my cables while listening to music.FWIW, to answer your condescending question, I use LOMC.  An Audio Technica ART9, to be exact.  Not exactly junk.  Neither i... 
Beware of new material claims - the case of graphene
@folkfreak I'm totally with you!  I was being sarcastic.  I don't think that we should assume everything is bunk... but I am a complete skeptic on most things "tweaky".  Any outrageous claim could be bunk or could be reality.  However, what about ... 
Beware of new material claims - the case of graphene
Is the OP suggesting that there could be people or companies involved in audio who sell something to people claiming it's one thing, while in actuality it isn't?  Do you really think that someone could make false claims about something in audio?No...

Impressed with SVS Ultra
I would call SVS directly.  They were extremely helpful for me.  I talked to them several times, each time a different person.  But all were super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.  Once, I even got Ed, who I saw in a few of their online videos...

sorry to chime in here, but invictus, I don't think you can make a blanket statement like this.  I am using Steger Silver Solids on my TT.  They are unshielded, and I have no problems whatsoever with noise.  My rig is dead quiet.One should never s... 
Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ???
An observation on the Line Magnetics... they seem to deliver a lot of power.  For example the LM=150iA is rated for 100 wpc with 2x KT150 per channel. This is driving the tubes a lot harder than the Primaluna.  It may sound wonderful, even better ... 
Anyone try KT150 in Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP
Yep, I completely agree about the Primaluna "smile-itis".  Happens to me too!  One thing I notice is that the longer I listen, the better it all sounds!  I often wonder... is it because the tubes and everything is warming up and getting into its g... 
Anyone try KT150 in Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP
By the way, I think it depends on your speakers.  If they don't have a lot of bass, you may not notice the upgrade to KT150s.  I have full range Revel F208 and I notice for sure. 
Anyone try KT150 in Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP
Yes, I am still very happy with the KT150s.  They increase the bass response, and the power they have helps deliver very tight, fast bass.  Plus all the good midrange that the EL34s gave as well.  Great all around tube!  Highly recommended.As to t... 
EL 34 vs. KT 88 ---- What's the difference?
+1 on Primaluna.  It can use both tubes, plus many others including KT120, KT150, and others. 
Which integrated amp for better musicality - Parasound Hint vs Primaluna vs ???
Sorry my post appeared multiple times.  I had some odd glitch with AGon.  Are the KT150s a must?  No.  The stock EL34s are really nice.  They have the wonderful midrange, and even the highs and lows are pretty nice.  I had KT120s for a while, and ...
