Well tempered question?
Holy Crap! This ain't NASCAR boys. Use Well Tempered fluids ONLY. The wrong fluid could dissolve the plastic paddle or bearing points. Once installed you never mess with it unless you have to ship the table or it can't be moved carefully.There are... 
Need advice on new TT, arm and cartridge.
Under $10K Clearaudio Ovation/Clarify with the ceramic magnetic bearing CMB at $5500 and a $3800 (less if you have a Benz to trade in) Benz Micro Ruby Z which is exactly the same as the $5000 LP but with a Zebra wood body. I honestly couldn't hear... 
which turntable to buy for $1500 best value ?

Best DAC under 2k US ?
Devilboy, I'm just learning about it myself. I found their website more informative than most in the digital audio industry. They published jitter measurements from multiple methods, each one very low. I like the sensibility that it attaches direc...
