Sunfire classic tube vs sunfire symphonic referenc
Actually, Symphonic Line is a very expensive, very well respected line of high end gear from Germany. Odyssey Audio is the importer. 
VPI Scout with Grado Master - but what next?
I had a Dynavector DV 20X cartridge on my Scout and loved it both for Rock and Jazz. It worked very well with the JMW arm. I had bought mine used and the suspension started to collapse so I only had it in my system for a couple of months. I used i...

02-25-13: Polk432You don't care what happens to your car." You are quite the horses ass. FYI, there isn't room for a garage on my property. My cars are kept in excellent shape, always washed and clean and waxed twice a year. For you to make that s... 
SACD remasters- any better than CD version?
I just compared the SHM sacd version of Quadrophenia by The Who with the Mobile Fidelity version and the original version on MCA Records. I found the MoFi to sound the best with the original version coming in a close second. The SHM SACD came in a...

"Would you buy a new car if you didn't have a garage?"I have bought probably 30 new cars in my lifetime between my wife and I and I have never had a garage. What's the point? 
Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam ,
If it were me, I would put the DH Labs cable back in the system and return the Cardas. Otherwise you will end up spending a lot of money and probably still won't be completely satisfied. 
SACD remasters- any better than CD version?
I agree that the Acoustic Sounds SACD of "Wish You Were Here" is not as good as the Mastersound version. I get the same feeling using my Esoteric SACD player so it isn't the Oppo's fault. I think in this particular case, it was remastered more for... 
Nakamichi ZX-7 Cassette Deck - - - Dubbing Problem
all good suggestions. I would also try another tape and made the recording again. If memory serves me correct, you can fine tune the deck for each tape used. 
Speaker selection for Cary 2a3i integrated
How about something from ZU Audio? They have pretty much all price ranges covered and theory speakers are extremely efficient and were made for tuber amps. 
Upgrade?
I second the Outlaw Audio receiver. It has gotten good reviews and will be much better than the mass market crap from the Japanese manufacturers.

I like the idea of the shopping bags, probably easier to put on than the slip covers my wife made me. Thanks......... 
The Trouble with Cartridge Recommendations
I had a Dynavector 20XL cartridge on my VPI Scout and absolutely loved the sound. Unfortunately, I bought the cartridge used and the suspension had collapsed. I ended up buying a ZU/Denon dl103 cartridge which is no way as good as the Dynavector. ... 
Trip to NYC, What to do
Make sure you hit the Blue Note in Harlem. Singer has reopened in a new location on the second floor of some building. 
opinions on new amp please.....
The Khartago was rated very highly by TAS. I personally own a Stratos and it is an amazing amp. The Khartago is a lot of amp for very little $$$. It also comes with a 20 year transferrable warranty and the build quality is incredible for the price...
