SL1200 upgrade tonearm or replace cartridge?
Nick, I like what you did to the OEM arm. If you don't mind me asking, where did you source the materials? Changing to a straight tube look like a nice project.allan.walter@yahoo.com

abbey road question
I have many digital copies of Abby Road and one is the MFSL and like the above post, I think it has too much bass. My guess is the latest vinyl is a digital mix to vinyl. I've listened to at well used copy from the very early 70's AR and the 1987 ... 
Suddenly, Porcupine Tree
Up until last year I'd seen the name but never heard the music. A friend on Facebook posted a song on youtube. I now have most of there CD's. Qdrome, I agree with your comments about Steve Wilson's solo stuff. 
Denon DL-103 "one of the...."
The DL-103, price vs. performance it can't be beat. I liked it so much I upgraded to the DL-103r.

Boom boom boom boom
Is the noted sound with all front end devices? Is it more pronounced with digital or vinyl? The reason I am asking is, I use to have a Technics SL-1700 w/Denon DL-160 cartridge and in that configuration with my related gear, I had a lot of rumble....

New Esoteric D-07 DAC not a D-07X
A few months ago I purchased a new Esoteric D-07 w/OEM warranty at 1/2 retail. I have no regrets and couldn't be happier. 
Recommend an Entry Level Turntable
I agree with Paraneer. A few years ago when I returned to vinyl, I purchased a Pro-Ject Debut. It arrived in a well designed shipping box with easy to follow set-up instructions. I had it up and running in just a few minutes.

Is mp3 320 mbps good enough for your ears?
As long as it sounds good I don't have an issue. When buying new vinyl, sometimes the record label offered a 'Free Digital Download" of the product. Most of the downloads are MP3, some sound good and some don't. It is getting hard to live in a bit... 
Tube rolling 12AX7As
If the C2300 is new and breaking in, my advise is to leave it along for a while. If something goes wrong, one of the first questions you will get from any customer service person is "What tubes are you using and where did you get them? ". 12AX7 tu...
