TT Power Cord
No difference at all on the turntable....but what I thought was very interesting was that the entire audio spectrum was improved with audiophile power cables on my Vandersteen 5A speakers, even though only the woofers are powered...ODD.... 
TT Power Cord
OOPS Holly....I'm not with you on this one. In MY experience a proper power cord can be even more beneficial to the final sound than a switch to a better active component. 
Restore Thorens TD 165 or buy a VPI Traveller?
BRF is oh so right. The Traveler is a very nice table...with performance beyond its price. You must know that VPI is always there to help if any needs arise..their service is superb. 
Removing Morch DP-6 tonearm wires from cartridge
Holly..just another 2 cents.... Personally I don't like De-oxite... the very act of removing the pins will (have) cleaned them. The less you monkey around with those fragile wires the better. You don't need long nose pliers if you just push the cl...

My pleasure...that's what makes this site so valuable. 
Used VPI Traveler v1 vs. New Rega RP3
Ddugan22...don't let Mustang bother you...he always proves himself to be a snarky sht 
Removing Morch DP-6 tonearm wires from cartridge
Oakiris....when installing your new cartridge, affix the wires on the cartridge before installing the cartridge on the arm.....much easier. Hold the cartridge, and push on the pins...a breeze...then screw the cartridge on the tonearm. If you have ... 
Are Bang and Olufsen turntables any good?
If they are light in the bass, I remember their "state of the art" speakers were heavy in the bass....good combination. 
Nordost Blue Heven vs Nordost Red Dawn?
Kevin...regarding a significant improvement....no it won't. The color will change a bit, but then any orchestra sounds different in different halls...you'll get used to the new color, but will realize its not an upgrade at all. ...now if you were ... 
Rega P3-24 or RB301 anti-skating bias
Use no (or as little as your arm will permit) bias adjustment. There is questionable need for such a device. I use none and there are many who feel that is correct. There is no solid agreement either way. 
Removing Morch DP-6 tonearm wires from cartridge
...just unscrew the cartridge from the arm and yank the wires the hell off. Putting them on is tricky, but not removal. Don't use any lubricant on anything..the boots are simply a color code...don't worry. 
Vandersteen 5A or Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage
I agree...John is the best 
VPI Direct Drive Turntable
I don't believe its anyones' business but VPI to price their own products. The marketplace will vote with their dollars. The turntable is there for the taking or not...to me, that's the end of the discussion. 
Michell Gyro SE-what arm?
Mofi....I've seen an installation on that table with a VPI 10.5 (though not a 3D) ...VPI provided a tonearm cable with increased length...the junction box was mounted on the lower base with double stick tape. I think there was a very small up char... 
Michell Gyro SE-what arm?
I have the new VPI 3D arm and am shocked at its prat and musicality which you place on your list of requirements. I know its expensive, but an easy installation and ultimately satisfying. At least give it a listen.
