Smoothest and best sounding turntable/cartridge combo up to $1600??
SonnyJ....when you speak of nuances, ...that means money.   If you like the Ortofon Red, you'll REALLY like the Ortofon Black...more nuances.  If you're getting rid of the Thorens because of footfalls, etc.   put it on a very light shelf...or even... 
Jeff Rowland Model 2: need help troubleshooting standy noise
When I had trouble with my Rowland, they immediately knew what was wrong....it seems all the important circuitry is on completely encapsolated squares looking very much like a USB storage device with gold pins at the bottom.  They sent me the appr... 
VPI 3D tonearm adjustment
Don c55   You're absolutely wrong on every count.   If you don't know what you're talking about, why post an influential diatribe which just might affect the mindset of those unsure of the issue.   
Parasound JC3+ or Audio Research PH6
I'm using the Ayre phono pre with the LPS....no complaints 
Burmester C500
I have a Burmeister in my car.  The speakers themselves are much like the Heil drivers of long ago....flat, pleated surface - very, very shallow in depth. 
VPI 3D tonearm adjustment
I’ve had my 3D for about a year with perfection. Let us know what VPI says .....the Classic is a very good arm, but the 3D is very wonderful arm.  I've heard some issues with warpage due to heat.....I live in the Sonoran Desert and keep the house ...

Cardas Clear Speaker Cables - From cable skeptic to beliver in one fell swoop
Since we're talking cables...here's an interesting experience...  I think Audioquest Everest and Sky are excellent cables.  ...naturally when Audioquest came out with their William F Lowe Signature line.....way more expensive then the very expensi... 
Cardas Clear Speaker Cables - From cable skeptic to beliver in one fell swoop
eniac....I tried evey Cardas cable they make.  Colleen Cardas and I went round and round....she saying it needs more time to break in....yet, after a month of every day playing...it still had a signature, I could identify instantly.  Some of their... 
Cardas Clear Speaker Cables - From cable skeptic to beliver in one fell swoop
JMC....I'm hear to share my experiences in this hobby..both happy and unhappy ones.  The top of the line with optional highest quality XLR connectors sound to these ears almost the same as the top of the heap Wireworld XLR interconnets....at a ver... 
vpi tnt still a performer?
The Classic platter is silver in color with smooth sides. If it doesn’t have it, get the platter and install it on the table....very easy mod. The table is an excellent performer. Is it in good working order? The feet can always be replaced. Any i... 
Listening to Phono Preamp Burn in Disc?
If you leave the armp on, it will demag the amp, speakers, and cables as well. If you get the Ayre break-in disc, its only a couple of minutes long, is interesting to listen to, and works well. I also have the Purist disc that is torture to listen... 
Ortofon Cadenza Red
