Against everything that high end cables stand for
..another point about ClearDay......  Paul has been willing to send out to the interested party, a review set of cables without charge to hear if indeed ClearDay works well in the system.  Even if you have no interest in cable, an offer to listen ... 
Audio research 100.2 any good ?????
The early transistor ARC amps were dogs.....I wouldn't touch it.  Grainy, no depth, no air, no good.  The one you're speaking of may be different, but the one I know was not a good amp. 
McIntosh
Tenorsaxjr.......why look for zebras in your kitchen.   If you like your system just enjoy it.  The fastest way to empty a bank account is to look for ever-better.  ...and you'll never find it. 
What in the world is going on.....
My point is that although I DO like the album....it sounds much poorer on viny, with my big megabuck system with speakers than with the mp3 version trough a Denon receiver via AirPlay, and then through a pair of wireless Sennhiser earphones.  It r... 
What in the world is going on.....
Oblgny....that's just the point.....Fremmer gave this record's sound, performance, and content a rave review....Simon is and has been one of my favorites.   This recording just doesn't make it on MY system....and wondering why.  (as an aside I was... 
Anticables speaker wire have no plastic jacket/insulation?
ZeroBias....Picky, picky, picky....actually speaker cable differences are enormous...at least on MY system....actually transformative.   
Anticables speaker wire have no plastic jacket/insulation?
Anticables was magnet wire wire many years ago....no longer.  No, they are not coat hangers. If you don't know what you're talking about, don't talk. 
What is more accurate: magnetic anti-skating, or barrel weight attached a fishline?
Sonnyjim....I agree with lewn.   Either use a very little a/s or none...but listen to your music with enjoyment.  A/S is a tiny accomodation to the setup.  Overhang adjustment, VTF, and proper azimuth means so much more.

tbg....this method doesn't work....a waste of time. 
Why do I keep torturing myself with remasters?
I find the best sounding LP's are from the 50's/60's....RCA, DG, Capital, Mercury, etc.

Carmenc.....I do use Clear Day...double shotgun.  All my electronics are Ayre with Vandy 5A.  Ayre highly recommended Cardas ....I tried every permutation of Cardas..from the cheap to the most expensive   awful...., Purist, Audioquest, Nordost, Wi... 
VPI Classic Platter- Naked or better with a mat?
Although I trashed my paper mat for my VPI Classic platter, I found a leather skin mat that seems to make music more like music, and less like hifi https://www.amazon.com/Premium-Leather-Deer-Hide-Turntable/dp/B00JDWHDSS/ref=zg_bs_11973971        ... 
Looking for IC and speaker cable suggestion
carmenc.....all I did was suggest ClearDay cables, because they work so well for ME, and I am a nice guy.  Actually all cables sound different connected to different gear.   No one cable recommendation can bring Nirvana.  Clear Day has a no charge...

I'M USING A HUNT BRUSH WHICH IS FINE 
Looking for IC and speaker cable suggestion
HiFiman...  Those are John (AudioConnection's) recommendation. Try Clear Day for the heck of it.....
