TW Raven 10.5" Tonearm
I guess you could say Raven is giving you the bird. 
Jazz at the Pawn Shop. Anyone know what Vol. ?
Here is the one I would get but be warned, it is $65 for a 2 CD set. But I would get one myself if I didn't already have it.http://cgi.ebay.com/Jazz-at-the-Pawnshop-FIM-K2HD-K2-HD-Mastering-2-CD-New_W0QQitemZ120526627789QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMusic_CD... 
Jazz at the Pawn Shop. Anyone know what Vol. ?
I think FIM may have this, they have Three Blind Mice recordings as well. Japanese jazz recordings that are also very good. I have a couple of different LP editions and the older CD one, if you can get a premium CD that would be the way to go. A g... 
Cartridge Recs for Dual 1226
I would also look at the Ortofon Red. I got mine on here for $75 + $12 shipping. 
Toasted Pre
I don't know how it ever worked at all! I assume your current is 220, I was once supplied a 220 amp by a British company who didn't know the US voltage was 110 and it would not play. So apparently you have been feeding 220 volts into a preamp that... 
How to set up REL Subwoofer?
I cannot say what the best cable is, some are very expensive. I use 2 made by Zikhmark, who is an Audiogon member and advertises on here. Reasonable price and good quality. 
VPI Classic and ZYX 4D
I just had this problem with an Ortofon Red in a Scout arm. The permanent solution is to get a different counterweight from VPI. The temporary one, which worked fine for me, was to fix a nickel to the top of the headshell [or where the headshell w... 
B&W 801 Matrix or JBL L150
I was a B&W dealer and had the earlier 801s, I had a pair of JBL 150As about the same time. I am puzzled at the question because the criticism of the B&Ws of this period was that they were too dull [I didn't think so] while the first word ... 
TT to another room, no vibs, better sounds?
You can also use a ball bearing platform like the one Berry Diament recommends. He is a recording engineer who believes that very low level vibrations have a large effect on sound quality. I have used them and they do work. He has an interesting w... 
Best REL Subwoofer for Magnepan 3.6's
I would go for the Stadium, I started with one and now have 2. I saw a Stadium 11 here last week for $995, one of mine is just like it. I have mine starting to roll off at 25 Hz. I actually have a Storm also but haven't heard it yet as it was for ... 
TT to another room, no vibs, better sounds?
Everyone arrives at their own compromise as to how much trouble they are willing to go to in vinyl playback; for me if it is too inconvenient I will not use it as much. 
Turntable wire
There is something wrong somewhere, try switching the leads from the cartridge to the tonearm and see what effect that has. All you are doing is reversing the channels when you connect red to white and so on. If you change the cartridge leads and ... 
Suggestions for a good phono stage
I have found BOB'S Devices SUT to be very good, costs $395 and has very good resale if it doesn't suit you.

Where to buy a good quality wall wart
I got a "Little Pinkie" power supply for my V-DAC, they make ones for other Musical Fidelity units as well. Big improvement, cost around $200. Located in Scotland, don't have address off the top of my head, make it for US voltage on request. You w...
