Best Holographic Speakers ~$7k per pair
You're about to drop $7k, I would spend the  traffic time and gas to visit all the LA/Orange Co. spaces possible and just listen to decide. You're also aware they won't  sound  as holographic unless you have a dedicated/ treated room? One person... 
Anyone heard the new Mofi V10 Master Edition at Axpona?
After the intro of the 888's, it was just a matter of time for a rollout of these. Looks like the speaker to put on the list if looking for a substantial floor stander. The big question is... could GR Research find something "wrong" with these? ... 
FM radio reception

FM radio reception
You'll  have much better results with one of these  https://www.audioadvisor.com/mdst2?srsltid=AfmBOoolWusGX1_gTHryTDN6V9i2tmAwXxaCacKG9Vp6dt-k4_mkG75W Nothing will better a proper rooftop. I used one before going rooftop on my MR71.  
Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One
VPI does have good support AFTER you've  purchased  their product.  I bet Technics would at least offer a technical support service center location as a resource especially for a model still in production despite being out of warranty? Regardles... 
Audio Technica AT-ART1000X
There are probably many ways to spend $5500+ on "upgrading" LP performance on the OP’s Technics 1300G. I’d go ART 20 and perhaps use the rest in a future upgrade of a next level phonostage. The ART 20 likely isn’t THAT far off in performance(rel... 
Chronos tweak at Axpona
Uh boy, another audio show "thingie"... If the OP AND his wife heard improvement, fine. But anyone who's been to shows have said the same thing about countless thingies doing the same thing over and over again. I'll blow my money on room, gear a... 
Is there usually a dramatic difference between $5k and $10k cartridges ?
In my post, I didn’t mention Lexus worked with Yamaha’s audio division to perfect the LFA’s 9000 RPM scream. I have experienced a couple of random  LFA sightings and it sounds like a  Formula 1 engine with the intensity knob turned down. https:/... 
Is there usually a dramatic difference between $5k and $10k cartridges ?
Exotic $$$ cars & $$$ cartridges=terrible comparison. Is a Bugatti Veyron/Lamgborghi Veneno/La Ferrari ,REALLY "better" than a ...Lexus LFA? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5gmkykQOEIE      
Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One
"it might not be totally necessary, but seems like it wouldn't hurt " Use that reasoning, you'll be able a hopele$$ audiophool.    
Get yer Alice at Axpona
"Why knock Revox?" Jnovak- The goof is putting an image of Alice on a $10k table(which likely is a $3-5K level Pro-ject made?) and the ridiculous graphics on the R2R. What is the value of that R2R model WITHOUT the Alice Alice treatment? I'm c... 
Audio Technica AT-ART1000X
Hopefully you have a phonostage good enough to make the ART 1000 sing? If not, waste of a "big leagues" cart. ART 9 seems more appropriate for that level of table.  https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1QA1jw5Pj7Y&feature=youtu.be As lewm mention... 
Get yer Alice at Axpona
"Love it to Death is one of the great rock guitar albums." whart- with the exception of "Pretties For You" I have up to BDB. Always been an early Alice fan. "early "Straight" label" That's always been on the "look for it, whenever bin diving" l... 
Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One
"What about tables that don't use or require a platter pad? My mofi table, VPI tables, etc." As mentioned-"most" VPI is in the no mat group. Some owners prefer one-bare for me. To my ears just get a cartridge to your liking and get all the setup... 
Billie Holiday's Best Vinyl Recordings?
Morning coffee, and revisited side from the "Golden Years", and then a much later Verve " All or Nothing at All" No comparison- after getting a refresher course on Billie's life, you can imagine..a tired, abused and a "going through the motions" ...
