PS Audio P300 or Cardas Golden Reference?
If you like them, in your system, that's what its all about. 
Sota Millennia Vacuum?
Yes..and that is why we all need to factor in the viability and service of the company that makes these high priced toys. I got stung a few times (Ampzilla, Spacial Coherence, Helius tonearm, etc.) 
PS Audio P300 or Cardas Golden Reference?
Of all the cables that there are, why have you picked Cardas?? LISTEN in your system before purchasing!! 
help with full system cable overhaul
I have found that the Cable Company's suggestions are just that...suggestions. I have rejected many cables that they have suggested and liked cables they say are not good for my system. I have Ayre equipment..and who else would know better than Ay... 
Balanced Interconnect Cable for ATC Active Monitor
Why in world would you want to know what Telarc uses?? Their applications/needs are way different from yours. 
XLR-RCA: Adapters or Custom Cable?
Herman...that's absolutely silly. I have always had a system that was good enough so that adapters always made a difference. YOu can quote numbers all day long...just listen and be enlightened. The real issue is that audiojedi should call the make... 
Anyone heard the Von Schweikert Unifield 3?
I heard a V/S speaker recently at a dealer's home. They were finished beautifully..good looking. They were either the 5 or 7's - can't remember. Anyway, the sound was unacceptable to me or to my friend who was with me at the time. There was little... 
Own a TW-Acustic Raven One?
Yes, Sirspeedy, but keep it "interesting" and not truth. There are those (not necessarily in your read) that easily can provide very logical explanations for untruths. Sometimes things are not what they seem. For instance...did you know that when ... 
Low Hours Phono Cartridges?
Excellent!! Buying a used cartridge is a crapshoot. Look up the stylus and into the cartridge and check for schmutz 
Hadcock 228 vs. Nima vs. Kuzma Stogi S for Linn
I agree with Palasr above. You really have to be careful with arms on a suspended table. I don't know the weight of these arms, but you must be aware of the weight since it effects the springs. I remember many years ago I had a Sota and decided to... 
Trouble tracking new Norah Jones LP
Madfloyd..if the VPI sounds horrible, it is not the result of damping...that puts the "finishing touches" on to a properly set up and running turntable. 
VPI HW-19 Upgrade question SAMA or SDS?
Frogman... My point was that short term speed deviations can be/are very distracting/annoying, and that long term speed difference aren't important. Going back to the original posts that said things like lubrication, dynamic contrast friction, etc... 
Acoustic Signature Turntables
Support must be included in the decision for purchase. The best component in the world is useless if it is not backed up by the manufacturer. These things can't be repaired by the local tv repair shop...if you can even find one of those.. 
Own a TW-Acustic Raven One?
Naturally owners will favor their purchases...they not only voted with words, but with their checkbooks. 
Own a TW-Acustic Raven One?
At the time I bought the Superscout, size was important to my wife (I guess to all women....) Anyway, my dealer had both on display, and the Superscout sounded more like my idea of what real music sounded like. Of course, the SS had 2 motors, the ...
