Tonearm rewiring
Just had my Roksan Nima unipivot tonearm rewired with Cardas litz by Michael at Brit Audio out of North Carolina.  Beautiful job and super fast turnaround. Could not be happier.  
Audible Illusions M--Are you using built-in phono or external phono preamp?
Ha Haha! It will take AI 6 months to even have a glance at it. Notorious for worst response time in the industry. Pay now, get product 9 months later. 
Boise, Idaho
Hi all, the Boise stereo club is alive and well, with monthly meetings hosted by members in the home and listening to their system. Because we are meeting in private homes and looking at sometimes VERY expensive stereo, we are by invitation only. ... 
Opinions of MIT MH 750 speaker cable
Installed 750 plus cables.  Hallucinated better depth, detail, and imaging.  Calling the mental hospital to commit myself for delusional thoughts. 
Audio Technica AT-33PTG vs Denon 103R cartridge
Finally returned to this post... years later. Still have the MMF 5.1, but now using a Roland model 1 amp, Audible Illusions preamp, and Cotter mkII mc stage. Also got Aerial model 9s, so only the tt is the same. Finally time to upgrade the cart. I... 
About to buy Aerial 9s, BUT want to ask first...
Thanks for all the thoughtful responses. I am going to wait for a deal on the 7T. There is a pair for sale here for $7500, which is good, but I am holding firm at $5K. (If I go to $7500, then why not $9K? then $11K, then... ) Nope. $5K is a lot of... 
New 'Vinyl Flat' flattener?
Great informative post! 
About to buy Aerial 9s, BUT want to ask first...
OK guys, thanks for the input. I got two things from this 1) Feed the Aerial 9 at least 200WPC. 2) Even with the right power, do not put the aerial 9 in a room that is 12' x 20' with nine foot ceilings. (Pause for a moment while I emotionally adju... 
Music Hall MMF-5.1 or Project RM-5SE
On my MMF 5.1 the motor can be heard in a silent room, from within maybe three to five feet. It should be noted that this is not noise on the RCA outs, but mechanical; zero impact on the amplified signal. I defy anyone to hear it with music playin... 
Audiophile speakers that rock well
I should have mentioned that I have PSB Stratus Gold side by side with my Ditton 66, and the Ditton DEFINITELY have more immediacy and presence, as well as much better staging and higher efficiency. Both are huge and heavy, both are fantastic for ... 
Audiophile speakers that rock well
First I want to say that your search criteria are WONDERFUL. Just what every old rocker wants. Smaller, great staging and detail, full range sound, and loud as hell. Rock speakers that shine even with old Zeppelin vinyl. Yamaha NS1000 are INCREDIB... 
Review: PSB Stratus Gold Speaker
I got the Adcom. Now staging nicely; a well defined spread of the instruments across the stage, using both vinyl and CD. Alice in Chains Unplugged and a Grateful Dead HDCD in particular. The Bass is fantastic. I play them side by side with Klipsch...

How much does your system retail for?
Lemme see... $2000 for PSB Stratus Gold. $700 for Carver Amp. $600 for Yamaha CD player. $150 for Pioneer PL-6 turntable? $100 for Shure cartridge? $150 for wiring/interconnects. $3700? Paid $600 for the PSB, $175 for the Carver, $150 for the CD p... 
Review: PSB Stratus Gold Speaker
Just bought a set of Stratus Golds. Running them with a Carver. As of yet, I have not been able to image the way they did on the showroom floor, where they were run through an Adcom pre-amp and amp and CD player. SO... I am going to continue playi...
