mc cartridge loading
I'm with you lewn.....Most of my cartridges operate at 1000 
Lyra Atlas experiences
Raul.....I am using s/s Ayre components.....These seem to work with any cartridge I've had on my table....Benz LPS, Ortofon Windfield, Lyra Atlas and Etna, etc.  Today I listened to a digital LP of the Bernstein Mahler 2nd.....the depth, air, and ... 
Recommend a Cable/Interconnect Set
ClearDay is much less expensive than you might think....I'm using DoubleShotgun....the most expensive.  I was surprised how cheap considering they're silver (but don't sound like what people think silver sounds like)...  If you're an inquisitive a... 
Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
any cable is only as good as it performs in your system.  All cables have to be listened to.  Advertising just whets the whistle 
Recommend a Cable/Interconnect Set
If you go to ClearCables, and talk to Paul, he'll send you some free for evaluation.  There is no better way to audition cables than to use it in your own system.   
VPI SDS/ADS PSU with Rega Turntable?
I'd look at the Phoenix products as well.   Get in touch with their support guy and get his/her view on your intentions.  If you're thinking of a new turntable, take a look at VPI offerings. 
Turntable sibilance
Here's another thought.....your new speakers may very well have a brighter/more extended treble response than did your previous ones.  If the sibilance you're hearing is not mistraking (a breaking up kind of distortion) it could be that you're jus... 
Turntable distorition

Shorten my speaker cables?
What have we sunk to.....we need to know what "is" is 
Turntable distorition
Why look for zebras when there are so many horses to ride.  I agree with bcowen...   Go back and check and double check, and triple check your setup.  If you don't know how, bring it to someone who does. 
My most remarkable service experience ever.
...a great story.  I've had similar great stories with Vandersteen and Ayre.  When I buy an expensive box, I always take the company's customer service reputation in account. 
Tinnitus and its affect on listening enjoyment
Boy do I agree with you regarding the use of hearing aids.   I was told the reason that they are so bad is not necessarily the amp or speaker section, but the microphone.  No one can manufacture a high quality mic ...they go from about 150 or so t... 
The most transparent speaker cable
i've tried dozens of cables and none were better..or even as good as ClearDay Cables.   If you call Paul at ClearDay, he'll send you a trial pair no charge..  You got nothing to loose but a couple of dollars in postage and you very well might love... 
Shorten my speaker cables?
If it were me, I'd send them back to the manufacturer for retermination at your needed length.  The cost will be amortized over the years you use them.  I like to do things right. 
What's the benefit of balanced tonearm cables?
I can clearly hear the differences in balanced cable....are you saying that balanced cables sound alike?
