Your favourite Christmas song.......
Sorry, but neither my wife or I are fans of Christmas Songs.  If I had to pick one I guess it would be “Silent Night” 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
@lesslosslover...……………………………….I apologize and stand corrected.  The way you wrote the post, it seemed like you didn't pay for it.  I am sorry I jumped to conclusions.  Merry Christmas.  
need turntable setup recommendation in New England
When I had my VPI Scout, I brought it to Goodwins to have them make all the adjustments.  (I did not buy it there, bought it used here)  I believe it was 100.00 back around 2011. 
Technics vs. Focal

Isolated Ground causes ground hum.
I would think long and hard about adding the ground rods.  If you did get hit by lightning or gave an electrical fire, it’s a sure bet your homeowners insurance may be quite reluctant to cover the loss.  To be sure, I would have a local certified ...

@grannyring..........I just looked over your system, very nice indeed. I am very impressed with your DIY work, very professional. I could never do that and make it look good. You get the hat tip of the day.  I was hoping all you guys would get an ... 
Recommendations for an MC cart on Audiogon
The Dynavector 20X2 cartridges are excellent and I believe there is one or two for sale here. 
Which power cords should I look at?
It is a combination of the power cords and the Hydras. Many recording studios use Shunyata and the movie scores for the Star Wars series were all done using Shunyata cords and conditioners. If it’s good enough for Luke Skywalker, it’s good enough ...
