Straws in ports?
What no carbon fiber,kevlar or teflon??? ;] 
Straws in ports?
I believe that you will want to cut the straws to different lengths to break-up the resonance,I would glue the straws together until approximately the same diameter as the port.Happy DIYing. 
Low priced giant killers
The smaller Magnepans {MMG or 10-12s} or a DIY from Parts Express using the Dayton Audio Reference drivers {$600/pr}. 
Does anyone get turntable set-up?
I generally listen to piano,drum kit and vocal of a familiar recording.The only parameters to adjust are VTA,VTF and damping.Cartridge alignment/overhang is pretty much set in stone,though adjusting the anti-skate can correct for slight distortion... 
Help me find a monitor.
The Coincident Triumph or Parts Express MTM using the Dayton Reference drivers or possibly the older Gallo Refs or new Ref 3s? 
Newbee needs cartridge help
I have owned Koetsus,Symphonic,Clearaudio,Red Rose and Scantechs,but I can't recommend the Dynavector 501 MKII highly enough.It mates perfectly with the inexpensive Dynacector P-75 phono section.Jappy hunting. 
who can align my tuner in midwest?
Try Steve/Western Reserve Audio:216-521-0900 ,around noon Mon-Fri. 
Can IC's and Speaker Wire drastically affect bass?

Unipivot vs. Gimbal
My last two arms have both been unipivots [Nottingham AceSpace & Schroder Mdl One},before that I had two linear trackers {Walker/Air Tangent}.Both offer their own virtues,but for musicality VS detail retrieval,I am enjoying the unipivots.For a... 
Creek OBH 9 MC...is it good?
Hi5,What power cord are you using with the Rotel? Speakers/cabling?? 
Creek OBH 9 MC...is it good?
I just finished the above reading.I use the P-75 with tubes and in its' PE "enhanced" mode.It mates very well with the Shelter 501.The Rotel is more forgiving of poor cartridges,vinyl and associated equipment,though there are better/more costly ph... 
Cable confusion
I believe the cables are as important as the components.If you are unable to maintain the quality/purity of the transmitted signal,the baby is out with the bath water.Having said that,start cheap and work your way up,until satisfied and expense ou... 
Tube Amplifier for Maggies
The Quicksilver monos work very well {not the 8417 output model}. 
Good match for Eminent Technology ET2 tonearm?
If you can find an Immedia RPM I or II,it should work well.I used an Air-tangent on mine.Solid ,with no suspension. 
Cable confusion
You might try the Straightwire Encore I or II ICs and possibly the Mapleshade speaker cables {of your choice}.
