Best Fully Automatic TT
"Fully Auto"...I remember there was a turntable that actually turned the record over for side 2. Don't remember the manufacturer, but it did exist. 
How do I connect a subwoofer to my speakers?
No...the correct way is to connect the sub via rca coaxial cable from your receiver. Usually, the sub has a built in amp. 
Girlfriend's mom threw my Cardas out with trash
I agree...she did you a favor. 
Assembling My Analog System..... Comments/Ideas??
Although I'm not a fan of your speakers, I would definitely question the CAL stuff and the Monster Cable, although your Oppo probably sounds better than the Cal. 
Sennheiser HD 650's thin sounding?
I can not believe anyone would not be bowled over by the 650's. They have become better still after being played for some time, however, even new they were wonderful. I've heard them on OK components, and state of the art stuff, and although SOTA ... 
VPI TNT Super Platter
I have one on my Superscoutmaster rim drive. If you're comparing the black Superplater to the aluminum one, the black one has a more robust, authority in the bass. The mids and highs are very similar to the aluminum one, but the extra OMPH in the ... 
The Best Polished Glass Toslink Optical Cables?
Sound quality is much better with digital cable....and not a little. Toslink can not do the job. 
The Best Polished Glass Toslink Optical Cables?
If you can use a connection other than Toslink, do so. Toslink is a poor choice. 
50' speaker or 50' interconnect?
I'm using about 35 ft of balanced Anti-Cable interconnects from the preamp to the amp with about 4 feet of speaker cable. Sounds great....no noise, big, wide, deep soundstage, etc. 
Can I ground my preamp?
I had a hum problem with a pair of monoblox and got rid of it by running a wire from the preamp chassis to one of the amp's chassis. 
Turntable/cartridge/tonearm suggestions
Also check out the Superscoutmaster rim drive. It has everything the Classic has, plus a much more powerful low end. The classic sounds a bit quicker,and lighter because it is missing that powerful low end foundation, especially with the Superplat... 
power cord for Panasonic G25
See if this works - call them if not http://www.trianglecables.com/expowcab.html 
balanced connection, better than single ended?
I have an all Ayre system where each component is truly balanced. There are connections as well for single ended use. I've tried both, and balanced is clearly better in this application...and not by a small degree. 
12 inch Graham Phantom
I would think that any improvement is minor. I changed my VPI arm from the 9 inch sig to the 10.5, and the change was insignificant. I would think that the arm mass increases with length, and even if the rigidity is maintained, the biggest change ... 
vpi classic -phono cable
I have a VPI and am using it balanced with Anti-Cables connected to my preamp with great satisfaction.
