"I noticed Audio Technica original ART-9 discontinued & they have (2) new ones AT-ART9XI Dual moving Coil / and ART9XA non magnetic core ....not sure what I should do there šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø "Not the best representation, but it gives you an idea of differ... 
Purple Heart = Purple Rain?
"you would shock to hear how little difference there is between a $160 cartridge and a $2000 cartridge. Between the $2000 cartridge and the $5000 cartridge there is even less."Mijostyn's observationĀ  is pretty much how my ears hear top of the food... 
Purple Heart = Purple Rain?
Kiseki PH is everything positive user reviews mention.I've usedĀ  the Kiseki Blue on my VPI Classic, but had QC issues with 2. First one the stylus fell off, the replacement had a right channel issue that conveniently developed just outside the war... 
Is Carl Bernstein an Audiophile?
I see a turntable.What stampers does Carl have? Perhaps he has gone to the dark side-files/streaming?Time flies doesn't it...I remember his reporting on Watergate which now is nearing 50 years!I was with my father touring DC at the time, when the ... 
Finally, ultrasonic cleaning for the masses!
Obviously the unit will have shortcomings for the cost. If it addresses the actual cleaning, perhaps it may have some value. I could liveĀ  with no drying if the price is right.Incorporating a fresh water rinse and vacuum dry seems like it would al... 
Good sounding head unit / NAV for car?
Whatever head unit you decide on, plug it into a pair of Milbert tube amps/crossovers.https://milbert.com/May as well upgrade the speakers/cable while you're at it. Separate battery setup is worth considering also.If you haven't heard a setup, it'...

PS Audio Stellar Phono Preamp vs. Allinic H1202
Not a "bad" choice with either.I've demoed the1201 Allnic and heard the StellarĀ  in few setups. The Allnic has a tube "presence" which my ears prefer. The Stellar will be the last word in quiet. Minimal tube noise from Allnic is only when blasting... 
Rega Planar 3 : Heavily upgraded yet produces a sound that I don't like
I played with a P5 years ago.The most significant upgrade to my ears is replacing the plastic subplatter to an aftermarket aluminum model.Easily noticed SQ all around. Other than a different cartridge and plugging it into the best phonostage avail... 
Mixing REL subs, great idea or terrible idea?
Unnecessary nervosa.Get more subs, plug them in. Obsess about all the other stuff discussed here.Ā Get matching subs to please your eyes.

The Guitar Center unwritten law of "No Stairway to Heaven" should apply to everyone, anywhere. I burned out on Stairway to Heaven in 1977 while perfecting it on my cheap Les Paul copy.Ā  
Best Power cable around/prefer under $300....
If you decide on givingĀ  Nordost a try, Blue Heaven is the way to go. The power cord shares the same construction of the Norse series(Heimdall).Obviously, it's scaled back just enough for the price point. Best buy for new Nordost users. 
Pure tube phono preamp
"An all tube, no transformer, unprohibitively priced, phonostage seems to be a unicorn. Ā Nothing against SUTs, it just seems like a shortcut and another thing in the signal path that could affect the sound."The "affect the sound" thing with an ... 
Rediscovering the music of my early youth..... and having LOTS of FUN!
Whatever you listen to, don't let up on the physical therapy.I've been through aĀ  shoulder rotator cuff procedure. I know that pain going thru post surgery recovery. Move, move and move more!
