Cabling with a single vendor-new experience for me
I am using all MIT Terminator 2 intercomnnects and Terminator 2 speaker cable in my system. There is definitely something to be said synergy wise when using the same brand. I didn't like the MIT power cables, so I went with all Shunyata Diamondbac... 
Woofers going crazy when playing vinyl
Replacing the cartridge is not an option for me, but I will try some different platforms on top of my audio rack. I thought that since I had originaly had the Scout sitting on top of a 2 inch thick slab of black granite would have eliminated that ...

The table wasn't recently set up. I have had it for 2 years. It is definitely the turntable picking up resonant energy from the turntable. I am going to try the KAB filter first and go from there.Bob

Has anyone tried the Shunyata Diamondback PC?
My system has 5 Shunyata diamondback power cords, 1 copperhead power cord and 1 venom power cord. I find the copperhead and diamondback to be a lot of bang for the buck and that is the most I would spend on cords. I am using the Venom for the turn...

I use Shunyata Diamondback cords on all my source components and preamp. I use a Shunyata Coppperhead cord on my power amp. With the Shunyata cords, there is no background noise and the music seems to flow better. I also use Shunyata Guardian's fo...
