Please do you have a Tara Labs "EVO" Ground Station for sale? Or an alternative idea? Thx.
Thank you!  :-)  
Best Sounding Adapter - Making RCA into Banana or Spade? Thanks!
Thank you to everyone who has kindly shared their thoughts - much appreciated! I’m certainly learning and appreciate the insights and caution too. My rig is: Integrated Amp - Unison Research "Unico" (Gen. 1 with the IR remote). It has speaker out... 
Best Sounding Adapter - Making RCA into Banana or Spade? Thanks!
The cable will connect an integrated amp (banana or spade) to a subwoofer (RCA).   The cable is RCA both ends.  I want to avoid cutting off the RCA at one end and so use a banana / spade adapter. Thank you for your help :-)  
Best container to move prized records between homes? Thanks!
Thank you everyone for your helpful thoughts, both past and if there are any in future.  All very much appreciated!  Enjoy your music!      
Best container to move prized records between homes? Thanks!
These are all being moved professionally by truck, 1,800 miles across country. Past experience has been hit or miss that the professional movers pack safely.  
Please any idea how to plug in Tara Labs RCA connectors very close together? Thanks
Thank you to all for your kind advice.  As mentioned above, Tara Labs also recommended (their own) one or two right angle, gold plated RCA connectors.  They are $10/each plus shipping so two are ordered and on their way.  Thank you again all.    
Unico SE Underwood Level-2 Mods ????
I was thrilled to have the Level 2 Mods when i bought the new Unico 20 years ago.  I first saw Sam Tellig's uber enthusiastic standard unit review in Stereophile and then the 6moons mods review.  The final and significant upgrade to meet my audio... 
Power conditioning for multiple dedicated circuits
Caveat Emptor. Walter's Core Power Diamond Xtreme cable 15amp was cheap and useless.  He made a wildly hyped-up 90% - 95% performance comparison guess to Nordost's Valhalla 2 power cable.  He refused a refund and grasped for store credit less 15... 
Onzow ZeroDust reportedly leaves a residue
I’ve used Onzow’s cleaner fortunately on an Ortofon Cadenza Black. I’ve usually done this lightly, after playing each side of a record for the past 6 months. Yesterday I used a new Flux Hifi "Flux Sonic" cleaner just once, for the suggested 15 sec...

Paying with a cashiers check? Need advice!
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER PAY WITH A CASHIER'S CHECK!!! 
Have you had any bad purchase experience(s) been with Audio websites and/or retailers?
If it was unclear, despite their lacklustre 'quality control' on what they shipped out the door, Noteworthy Audio (Canada) and Galen Carol (USA) did eventually refund or replace the clearly worn  items.  Avoidable hassles with a just bit more care. 
If Nordost won't shorten & terminate it's own speaker cables who can please? Thank you!
Thank you both very much.Funny, I’m currently auditioning a Heimdall main power cord for my system. A very clear improvement to my system’s sound. Impressive in fact. Your suggestion was already on my mind and makes going all Heimdall more temptin... 
How do you install a 12" VPI armboard for 12" Unipivot on a VPI Classic 3 - Thanks :-)
I have just now added a $150 VPI Dual Pivot Tonearm Adapter to the base of the 12" 3D arm.   The net impact of this "upgrade" in my VPI vinyl system - with the Ortofon Quintet Black S - is it clearly sounds better.  Yeah!   All together, I'd say t... 
Anyone Tried Bybee's "Quantum Clarifier"'s Inside Your Speakers?
Just "bumping" this thread to see if anyone has used Bybee's "Quantum Clarifier"'s as a DIY internal upgrade to improve their speakers?  Thank you in advance.
