Magico Q7 . . . wow
As for me...I couldn't live with Magico, Wilson, YG, or B&W. 
Tannoy Turnberry SE Imaging and Breaking In
My feeling is that Tannoy speakers don't play "audiophile", they just play music. If you go to a live classical concert that's not been "worked" by mics, you really won't hear trumpets over there, behind the violins, etc. Tannoys eschew the stuff ... 
New cables, help
You haven't tried Anti-Cables? If you want to, let me know...I have balanced interconnects and speaker cable 
Getting granite tomorrow.
Granite Rings....not a good idea 
converting Rega to balanced output?
I find balanced phono a real plus. As I read these pages, people have hum/noise problems....I have a balanced system that is absolutely DEAD quiet...even with the volume control turned up. Doesn't get better. 
VPI Scoutmaster Tonearms
Hi Moonguy....When I did the change I didn't think it was 20% better...I thought it was less. I think they both can accomodate the best cartridges made..... in my view,a cartridge upgrade if needed is money better spent. I have a Benz LPS which I ...

Tracking force and Unipivot tonearms

Vandersteen Model 5 speakers
When the 5's are set up and running properly they are wonderful speakers. ..but listen to Babybear. In order to set up your speakers properly, your dealer will need Realistic analogue sound pressure meter, the official Vandersteen setup CD, and a ... 
Turntable dilemma.
Is there something wrong with your Micro Seiki? You must know that it is a very good table. I would change the arm and add a top of the line cartridge if you don't have one now.. 
Measuring Speaker Distance
