What is the "usual" source of hum between a turntable and phonp-preamp??
To alpha-gtMakes good sense.  About three months ago, I upgraded to a separate power amp, the BAT VK-200( 100RMS).  I owned at the time a Rogue Sphinx integrated amp  whose pre-amp out I was used to connect the BAT amp  I looked a long time for an... 
Is the Merill "Gem Dandy" turntable far superior in sound than the Project RPM-3 TT??
Greg. Thank you for your comment. It is useful if I go shopping for a new cartridge, or cartridge and table.    S.J

What is the "usual" source of hum between a turntable and phonp-preamp??
To sbank, I just knew the comment about the stylus force gauge was going to incur flak from some members.  However: I can and would easily purchase the $14 Shure Force gaugeIf numbers on tracking force  tonearm  counterweights are  inaccurate and ... 
What is the "usual" source of hum between a turntable and phonp-preamp??
Guys,  Thank you for the additional suggestion. Let me quickly summerize what has happened so far.. I finally got a reply from Moon Audio about the hum problem and whether it may be related to LP-110 phono pre-amp.  The rep suggested that because ... 
What is the "usual" source of hum between a turntable and phonp-preamp??
To Dill and jmcgrogan2,    U-turn indicates that the turntable uses has a ground built in the left channel RCA input. There is NO ground screw ON THE BACK OF THE TABLE WHERE THE RCA CABLES ARE PLUGGED IN. Let me know if you have any other suggesti... 
What is best tweeter height for the Devore O/96?
To Keithr,  I am not demeaning Devore as a person or speaker designer I would say almost the same thing and ask the same question about pricing about the $14,999 Harbeth's 40.2 speakers designed by Alan Shaw and touted as his "Masterpiece" by  the...

sfar,  I am happy for you; but I have a right to my opinion.  If you have the money to afford Devore's $12,000. O-93 and 0-96    God bless and good luck. There are better speakers out there for half the price

Best Cable Match for: Creek 4330SE + Rega Apollo + Vandersteen 2C
Try the Chord "Cameleon" IC.  I used  one several years ago (before I upgraded  my system) between the Creek Classic 5350SE and Rega Apollo.  Better synergy, and improved sound.  Should be able find a used pair on AG for $150-$175.....don't pay mo... 
What is best tweeter height for the Devore O/96?
I think the Devore O-93 and O-96 speakers are both overpriced.  They have become the darlings of Stereophile  light weights, Herb Reichert, Art Dudley.and  the phased-out Sam Tellig, and other camp followers and "over-enthusiasts" I also question ... 
12 ft pair of thick speakers cables?? Can they be cut downt to a 6 ft pair??
Thanks to everyone who has responded so far. It looks like the best option is to sell the HT cable OR possibly  run the risk of a botch job on the cable by a garage slicer and re-terminator. I have a deal on hold with Grover Huffman cable for his ...
