which jumpers for Vandersteen 2 Ce's??
Vandersteen cautions against using different cables. Follow the directions for best results 
AntiCables
Todd....I maintain that they were fabulous right out of the box....and then after listening, they changed as they broke in (still changing). I have experienced many cable brands that sound one way out of the box, break in, then reform to sound lik... 
What is the typical VTA for a Benz Ebony TR ?
I have a Benz LPS which is similar to your cartridge and found that MY cartridge likes just a wee bit of tail up....make absolutely sure you have the azimuth dead on...the more accurate the greater the joy. Come to think of it...all the parameters... 
DAC Impressions
Excuse the question - I know nothing about digital......but I assume when you download an album into the computer, you need a USB converter from the computer to change the connection from USB 1 or 2 (I have a Mac laptop) to 12S (don't know what 12...

How do I use this speaker cable???
I agree with Ecruz 
Grado Sonata, Signature 8MZ, Shure V15VXMR
Raul...I don't really understand your question. I had the Grado in a Rega table with its own arm that was rewired and with dropped counterweight, and adjustable VTA (a pain to work from underneath the turntable, but it worked). The cartridge went ... 
Phono interconnect under $500 used
Money should not be your mark of distinction for an interconnect....performance in YOUR system should be. You will only know what sounds best by auditioning cables in YOUR system. Don't discount less expensive cables such as Anti-Cables, Morrow Ca... 
Just Ordered...
I would ask for John at AudioConnection in New Jersey. He is a top notch Vandersteen expert, and knows full well what works with your speakers 
Simple & Cheap Way to Cut Turntable Vibrations
Bifwynne.....Your post is not what I have found. Very light (Ikea) tables do wonders for turntables like the Linn....VPI's sound the best with a very solid platform... no play at all. 
Interconnects that offer a mid-bass lift
kiwi....you really shouldn't use cables as tone controls... get the proper components.
