Cables more hype than value?
Jmyc,"I've never had a client "hear the cables" and that's because relatively inexpensive Mogami cable is completely neutral to the human ear."How do you know that? What makes the Mogami cables completely neutral compared to other cables? I find t...

Creek Destiny 2 vs Anthem 225 vs Simaudio 250i
On the Creek I have. I used both MM and MC and got good sound. Of course you can buy a better external phono stage, but the Creek will definitely hold you over until you decide to upgrade. 
Creek Destiny 2 vs Anthem 225 vs Simaudio 250i
All 3 are very good, but I would pick the Creek. 
LP collection
"03-20-13: Buconero117Top dollar is a buck each if unopened, picked up. I am working on a buy of 50,000 lps"Where the hell are you going to put all those records? I can only imagine how much space they take up. I can't help but wonder how long its... 
Levinson 326s or McIntosh C200 ?
If you don't mind, why these 2 preamps? Was there a reason that you narrowed down your choices to these 2? I'm just curious. Like I said before, I think you can't go wrong with either. One other thing I will add, but you probably know already, is ... 
Looking for quality banana plugs.
Audioquest. Their very good and don't cost a lot. The Cable Company has them. 
Sub recommendation for vienna acoustics bach grand
Another option you may want to consider is to upgrade your amp first. You're only going to get so much out of your receiver. If you give the speakers more power,they should give you much better bass than what you already have. After that, then get... 
LP collection
Overall, I think Elizabeth offers some excellent advice. If it were me, I would go through your collection and pick whatever records you think are worth the most. Just put a few on ebay and see what happens. Use the results to help figure out how ... 
Need advice: replace woofer of Harbeth
I think Roscoeii and Luna offer good advice. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that Harbeth makes the driver you need themselves, as opposed to an off the shelf solution. You also may want to give some dealers a call. Over time, a dealer ends up with... 
Best preamp 2k or under, new or used
"03-19-13: Aprica88Look for a used BAT preamp...."It would be hard to go wrong there; tube or solid state. Not only does BAT make some great sounding, the build quality is as good as anything out there. 
Polk audio rt2000p or LSi 25 big difference ?
"Rok2id you are like a ray of sunshine on a dark and dreary day. You sound so intelligent about the query I have and I will probably remember your advice for a long time to come."chipmunk,At least we agree on something. 
Polk Audio RT2000p or LSi 25's--- WHO CARES ???
"Btw hats off to Zd 542 I think he or she caught the drift of my thread.Thank you."Don't drag me into your delusion. It was you who didn't catch the drift of my last post. 
Levinson 326s or McIntosh C200 ?
You may be suprised. I've heard both but never side by side. The 326 is a very refined, fairly smooth sounding preamp. Polite, as well. I wouldn't call it cold or very analytical, though. Its good all around and should work well with a wide variet...
