Are the folks at Vandersteen ok?
Blindjim......interesting read.   I agree everyone should be nicer to each other.  On the other hand you don't really know the situation Stereo5 et al is talking about. Dealing with the public can be very tricky and nuance has a great deal to do i... 
Upgrading Turntable suggestions
You will be disappointed with just replacing your turntable.  Sure there will be some  improvement in speed stability, etc., but I'd look elsewhere for improvement that is worthwhile. 
Magico S5 vs KEF Blade 2 vs TAD Evo One vs YG Kipod II Sig w/pwr bass
I heard the YG at a club meeting...they were offered to us for more than 50% off....no one took the offer.....I thought they were not for me at all. Never heard the Blade, but that's what VPI uses to evaluate their products 
Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil
Elevators never worked for me......not positive or negative.  If you can return them give them a whirl 
Man this is frustrating
...for experimenters.....ClearDay Cables will send out their cable for evaluation with no money exchanges.  The cable is excellent on many systems - the owner is very nice.  Recommended.

gyneguy.....DBS are always burned in...but what the heck....it seems you have the enhancer....go to it.

Garebear.....in MY system, Cardas cables sound indistinct, tubby, fuzzy, etc.  I tried many versions...some are better than others, but I always can tell the Cardas sound in MY system.  They may work well in others', but not in mine.   I contacted...

Thiel Customer Service - New ownership is terrible!!! - WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS COMPANY ?
They don't care about customers from the old ownership...I wouldn't trust them at all.

Audioquest Columbias are nice. - Cardas doesn’t work well at all in my system. BlueJeans are really not audiophile quality.  They will tell you that cables make little difference if any at all....they are put together well, but..... 
Where were your audio components designed/engineered?
all in the US, except for the Ortofon cartridge (Denmark) 
Channel Imbalance at low volumes
I agree with the Deoxit suggestion....also spray some in the volume/balance control (in the case) 
VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D
Just another point on the 2nd pivot.  Using the Fozgometer...take your time and get it perfect...it can be done with the 2nd pivot...just screw it down or up and it stays.  Its almost impossible to do without the 2nd pivot in place.  As the  Foz n... 
Upgrade path from Wilson WattPuppy 7s? - seeking advice
Vandersteen deserves your attentive listen.   I too am a violinist, and Vandy's do it for me.   The subs mesh so beautifully you'll never know that there is a separate amp...only that it will make your amp run easier. ....had B&W's... moved to... 
LONG Speaker Cables- What Have You Tried That Doesn't Break the Bank?
I had top silver Anti's...tried ClearDay cables and heard a revelation.  He'll send out a review sample for your evaluation for free....take advantage of that.
