Richard Gray and Transparent: compatible?
I have tried MANY power conditioners and there was none worse than Richard Gray...absolutely ruined the sound. 
Loud pop when I use the turntable on/off button
Mine is dead silent (Ayre electronics) 
Record Clamps, which one and why?
I too have a Superscout Rim Drive with a Classic Platter....I just got the word that it sounds better without the rubber mat. I tried it and it does. 
Speaker placement question-
Regarding speaker placement...you never can tell what is best for your room without trying it. Put the speakers on teflon sliders which you can get at Home Depot or Lowes....put the components in the center of the room, and slide those speakers al... 
Electronic stylus force gauge question
Actus..how do you know that your Delos tracks best at 1,75, EVERY cartridge I've set up is a bit different than the next one off of the assembly line. Also, if your arm is a bit high or a bit low to absolutely horizontal (who can tell when that oc...

Actusreus is absolutely right. 
Electronic stylus force gauge question
Why do you want to track your Delos as close to 1.75 as possible? Maybe it sounds better a bit heavier or lighter...that's why I think the Shure scale is totally fine. You get it close with that, and then experiment by listening. I don't really ca...

Sibilance from Van den Hul Colibri
If you sure you set it up correctly, I would complain to VDH....I've seen them come from the factory defective 
French Speakers?
I've only heard the Triangle top of the line....very tall, narrow speaker. I couldn't live with them for 2 minutes. 
The Blue Angel Mantis cartridge
Mosin...I will not be a test bed for a garage activity. Innovative buyers of this stuff are often stuck. There are wonderful products made by strong companies...I don't need to put my money into their hobby. There are a lot of cartridge manufactur... 
The Blue Angel Mantis cartridge
To me, manufacturer support of a product is as important as its performance. I would only get involved with companies that are finacially strong and willing to back their product. I have been burned by esoteric brands that cease to exist leaving m... 
Setting Azimuth
Actusreus.. I'm not against it, I just think its not necessary....like a belt and suspenders. It takes a few minutes to dial in the VPI arm...probably the same time it takes to install the Counterintuitive. If you change cartridges the device has ... 
Forced to Downsize
You can get state of the art sound by buying a great pair of earphones and an earphone amp...You'll be amazed at how good they sound
