Can SME 309 mount on Scout 'table?
not much 
Best CD I've heard so far 2011.........
WalterSalas - On these pages (Audiophile driven), an important critique of a record is its sound. Unfortunately, this is Paul Simon's worst sounding album (I think I have all of them). Who could intentially record this album so that it sounds like... 
What to replace Nordost speaker cable?
You're on the right track...you need break-in time. Actually, I like Blue Heaven rather than Red Dawn, which I find rather anemic down below.... 
Are there new players with HDCD?
Ayre decodes HCDC 
Dan D'Agostino is back with a new line
My neighbor has a Tesla...it looks really crude. Panels don't fit together well, seats are bare bones and are uncomfortable. He let me drive it...phenomenal pickup, but I will remain happy in my Porsche Cayman R

will a low 60Hz harmonic hum wear out my speakers?
It'll wear you out first....I would check for a grounding issue..it should not be audible. 
Benz Slr Gullwing vs Lp s
Regarding he Geiger stylus...it was/is made by a Dutch company which couldn't supply Benz with their needs. Benz rejected many too many because Geiger tried to rush the supply. In MY opinion, the microridge shape is better than the others....liste... 
VPI connections.
I have a 10.5 with XLR connections...absolutely DEAD silent except of course for the cartridge signal. 
Thump
