AntiCables
..just sent my Anti's back for retermination to Xhadow XLR connections and shotgun speaker cables. I'll let you know..... 
cartridge alignment
I reworked MY 10.5i on my Superscout rim drive and found a cleaner, clearer, more spacious sound with my Mint. I found a very sturdy supporting table to be essential to the excellent sound..... get the compliant mini feet off of your table and rep... 
Help with Acoustat Model 1 + 1
I had MY Accoustats catch fire. I was luckily in the room when this happened, and quickly unplugged them, and returned the transformers to Accoustat for repair. I then sold them. I believe I was driving them with an amp called Ampzilla which was 2... 
Nordost Blue Heaven speaker cable..what a delusion
In MY experience, any cable provides different results in different systems. At one time I was using Blue Heaven with very good results. The only way to hear if a cable in YOUR system is what you are looking for is to put it into your system and l... 
AntiCables
In all fairness, when I changed a year or two ago to his Silver interconnects, there was a marked change for the better. These silver balanced interconnects that I have are connected via Neutrik connectors....he now has a better connector and offe... 
VPI Classic Platter - Polishing??
If I were you, I'd call VPI. If there is a coating on it (mine doesn't LOOK like it's coated) you might be sorry in the end. I found that FLITZ is wondeful polishing cream for metals. ( I use it on my Porsche) 
450 Pound Monobloc Amplifier
I heard those Boulders at a club event - into top of the line Wilsons....very disappointing. 
Rebuilt Ortofon A90?
You get a new A90 for 2200 dollars from Ortofon?... what would be your concern? 
Vandersteen 5Aa Carbon--any 5a owner's opinions?
I have been using my 5A's for a few years and really like them. When I moved from New Jersey, Richard himself helped me with the setup for this house with the additional help from John at AudioConnection. I am well acquainted with the sound of the... 
Need Advice on Amp Setup w Vandies--Arcam/Bryston
I agree with ZD.... I found that separate cables for Bi-Wire work best with my Vandersteen 5A's 
Anti Cable difference.
Cabling is oh so dependent on the system it is playing in. You really have to evaluate cables individually...and you really can drive yourself nuts if you have different brands of cable in the same system. 
VPI Scout with Grado Master - but what next?
Photon is right....VPI tables need a solid connection to the center of the Earth...the better the connection, the better the sound....however....I agree with your evaluation of the Grado . 
Anti Cable difference.
I replaced my regular Anti-s with Ref Silver. The difference is mainly in the highs...much more extended, delicate, cleaner, and clearer. After lots of break in time, the mids open more as well. 
phono cable for VPI SSm
If you use balanced cable it is DEAD quiet...even with volume control up and an ear against the speaker. 
phono cable for VPI SSm
I'm using Anti-Cable silver balanced with my Superscout into Ayre....with a smile.
