Finally...subwoofer that's aesthetically pleasing!
 "Gotta wonder how many units Sonus aspired to sell with that design x price point. What a world." Suprema is likely a "build to order" with a long lead time. Can't imagine a section of the warehouse filled with pallets ready to s... 
Finally...subwoofer that's aesthetically pleasing!
"Sadly in the press release you could see the scan speak sticker on that midrange" I would hope it is NOT an off the shelf model and at least a tweaked version?    
Finally...subwoofer that's aesthetically pleasing!
If someone has the dough for this type of extravagance, just commission  Franco Serblin, the man behind SF and have him design a pair of your own Suprema's?  For one thing, design a magnetic setup so as not to ruin the look with those cheap fast... 
Upgrading from a VPI Aries 1- is it worth it?
You could adapt a "better" non VPI arm or get the VPI gimbal which is pretty much a drop in mod to optimize that Lyra. Also, upgrade to a "better" phono stage. Or if it was me, I'd just sit back and enjoy the setup. "Better" in audiophool land i... 
Finally...subwoofer that's aesthetically pleasing!
"Really amazing speakers that ignored the room they were in," I agree. I have heard them in a living room, with no audiophool enhancements and in demo rooms. Breathtaking and nice to stare at in both arrangements.  The Stradivari are on my long... 
A phono preamp with equalization selector
"A friend noticed me they should be played with Teldec equalization plus inverted polarity," Some friend you have there-encouraging unecessary audio nervosa.    
Humminguru record cleaner
I've been putting off purchasing a proper RCM for years, because of cost. Good to read another positive outcome with the Hummingbird. This appears to be the solution since my collection is generally in good condition.  Water/solution or just wa... 
Upgrade My Turntable - How Much Do I Need to Spend?
 "I would love to find a lightly used Rega RP10, and call my search over" Plan on budget for phonostage as mentioned to fully appreciate whatever you decide to get. Your setup is ready for "the next level.'  
Which EPA-100 bearings?
'Has anyone compared the sound of Si3N4 bearings to the original ruby?" Drag coefficient has  a sound?  
Cable Break In for the Naysayers
The only ABSOLUTE in cable "break in" threads- Never concensus that "break in" is fact. Cable "break in" does seem more plausible than "directional cable?"        
Placing your record on a spinning turntable.
"I have a VPI table with Umami Red cart and a felt top." GASP! You must be one of those weight/mat users... bare platter/clamp & washer to flatten LP for my VPI. If you want to play radio DJ, keep spinning. I used to do it with a Rega. The o... 
Looking for recommendations for integrated with a more “organic” sound.
"Organic" Subjective, like everything. Tube amp to my ears. Tube everything-preamp,amp and phonostage.Tube FM tuner also, in my case. No particular brand suggestion, there are plenty of integrated options in your price range. Used especially w... 
Starting a Classical Vinyl Music Collection
"I tried the Hummingguru  with the same problem.  Same static and pops" Do you have ANY albums that are quiet to eliminate the cartridge/stylus or phonostage being part of the problem? If you do have quiet LP's,  then it's back to groove damage.... 
Rogue Audio hard to resell, has it fallen out of favor ?
You're selling something in a very narrow category. That includes an even smaller group of potential buyers. Add to that those buyers are not the audio neurotic with money to burn. They will be Best Buy type looking for something "better" but not... 
Fosgate Signature Phono Preamp
 'I was able to eliminate 75% of the sound by forming some aluminum foil around the tube area, so I think I'll be pursuing a cleaner and more complete solution in the future with an actual Faraday cage" That's an interesting find and solution. I ...
