Acoustical Systems MM Fideles?
"I think their tables are overdesigned and Techdas is clearly a superior product."Mijostyn-I also think Tech Das has much more to offer if one is shopping on that level. My comment was just being sarcastic on the build. Having heard the Air Force ... 
Acoustical Systems MM Fideles?
Their turntable make the Clearaudio  or a Techdas seem  like a toy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3C84geXA8LU&t=489sYou need a ignition key to operate it!A little much for a Barry Manilow LP, but perhaps a just opened 1969 Brit Led Zep or som... 
How to find the min and max bending radius of a cable.

Turntable mat journey
My reading comprehension often fails me.Tough to find, but a pure cork mat. Most are a blend of cork/rubber. The Project cork mat is the next best thing. Used one when I had a Rega. Didn't stray from the Rega sound. 
Turntable mat journey
So you have Rega P8, but you want to swap mats to emulate the sound of the original felt mat?Oookkaayy.....To much time spent  on  audio forums, and not enough listening to an already fine setup. 
Seeking advice on power conditioners/regenerators
The best way to determine if a PP will work for you is demo one from PS Audio. They have a 30 day trial. Return it if you don't hear a difference.A dedicated line if you don't already have one, is relatively inexpensive. I'd look into that first. ... 
Uber expensive repair at United Radio
Opening your wallet for service is never pleasant. Especially audio gear repair.Suck it up, and listen to your stereo.Who would've thunk, electronics repair would now be a highly specialized thing? 
Ken Fritz' Dream System documentary.
I've seen the system posted in virtual systems years back.Definitely an  uber setup and likely a breathtaking experience. "Mr. Fritz' MS has progressed to the point where it's a challenge for him to speak clearly, but we had a nice conversation, n... 
Garth Powell on Why Audioquest does not make AC Regenerators
Just another reason to try both and letting one's ears decide if either is worth the expense.AC regen(PS PP) seems to work in my setup. 
Upscale Audio and Primaluna
"Who puts 4500 hours on output tubes? That can’t be right......"You’re right ozzy62! Who does that? I probably have 6K hours on some vintage 6l6G RCA’s. PL is driving tubes on the low end of the spectrum. I’ve noticed they're finally starting to s... 
At This Time Can We Recreate Full Range Live Music In The Home?
 "You just have not heard one but, they are rare. What most people think are top notch systems are just a hap hazard collection of equipment strapped together and turned on. Very few systems are purposely designed and skillfully tuned in a room de... 
At This Time Can We Recreate Full Range Live Music In The Home?
I have been playing "guitar hero" for over 40 years, a few decades before that ridiculous video toy was conceived, difference being you're at least aping being a real musician!I'm sure other players have as well. Plugging in a cheap guitar to play...

I had a few drinks and bought some speakers
Congrats on your beautiful Sopra's.The Focal sound seems to be a polarizing one. I happen to like to line and had extensive listening time  with them.I think they're a wonderful upgrade since your in the Focal camp. If you're into tweakery, Gaia's... 
I had a few drinks and bought some speakers
Not a bad "under the influence" buy.The 1028's  are very good speaker. To my ears, not a groundbreaking upgrade, but certainly a move up. Sopra huge upgrade in aesthetics. Great looking speaker. Now you're done. Placement/room treatment  and subs ...
