What determines the volume of a Turntable?
Also, the recording itself is variable in that some are recorded more softly/loudly than others, and the speed of the record too has an effect. 45's are louder than 33's 
Analysis Plus Oval 9 & Vandersteen 3As
Richard V has definite opinions on bi-wiring. If you go to his site, he explains that to benefit from biwiring, you must have seperate wires. DO NOT use one jacketed cable - you might as well not biwire. I have Vandersteen 5A's and am using the ve...

noise problem with cable
Why in the world would you have a balanced to Single ended adapter. You loose LOTS from this configuration 
How do YOU set VTF on your Rega arm??

Power Cords and Power Conditioner, How to arrange?
Power conditioners always degrade my system. I stay away from them. Richard Grey is the worst. 
BAT + VR 4 JR = ?
Cardas and Purist are garbage. Anti-Calbes are the way to go. They have a money back guarantee. At least audtion them. 
Tuff question= Banana plug to adapt to Spade ?
Bananas are garbage. Have the wires reterminated. 
How do YOU set VTF on your Rega arm??
..it seems to me that by using the spring to adjust the downward force, you still are including it in the system and it will still resonate...perhaps though at a higher frequency. Never the less, the rear counterweight would have to be set farther... 
Cartridge recommendations VPI Scoutmaster
I went from a Grado Sonata to a Benz Ebony... WOW - what a difference. Its as though the Grado was broken
