Speaker cables which bring out more bass?
I'll echo Bobgates. Purist Venustas really improved the bass I get from my 10t's. Much more defined and tightly controlled. It's really amazing how much detailed information there is down there. 
How to clean BAT CDP?
Well, I did the next best thing. I cleaned the offending CD and it plays all the way through now. The transport is probably fine. 
What to put between a Calypso a Mini Utopias?
Buckr, I also own the Calypso and can not say much more beyond what has been mentioned by others. The Calypso is very easy to match and I don't think you'll run into very many amps with input impedances that are below 30Kohms. For the record my Ca...

Thanks for the informative posts, Thom and Chris. I've spent some time absorbing all of this information here concerning these tables and trying to come to terms with what would suit my own preferences. I suppose in the end it would be best to hea... 
Installing cartr.:slide it all the way to front?
I agree, Jyprez. This is a great thread!Mario, a hint to your question is that the two point null system is a compromise solution based on solving two equations simultaneously. Not merely from swinging a single arc. 
Basis Vector 3 vs. Schröder, Triplanar, Graham
Thank you, Jtimothya. Very well said. 
Basis Vector 3 vs. Schröder, Triplanar, Graham
I agree that no one has been able to address directly the question that Lapaix asked. It does not seem that very many if any people have compared the mentioned arms with a Vector 3. Because I have not heard a Vector 3 I had intended to not post to...

John, that really sucks! Glad to hear Mehran fixed you right up. I have only dealt with him on one occasion but that was such a great experience I can hardly wait to do so again. 
Basis Vector 3 vs. Schröder, Triplanar, Graham
Hi Tubes. I'm sorry that I don't know your name. I'm really tired of this internet anonymity thang! :)I do understand your point about manufacturers and their internet posts. But your response is certainly not objective. And neither is mine. All o... 
Basis Vector 3 vs. Schröder, Triplanar, Graham
So, by your reasoning, can any Basis owner be objective? I have owned both the Graham 2.2 and the Vector (model 1) and used them both on a Basis 2500. I don't know how these two arms stack up against the others mentioned but I do agree that they a...

Hi DougDeacon,Thom had mentioned something about CES so I assumed he was showing. Perhaps not. It's good to know that the heavier mylar tape seems to be doing the job, but it doesn't make the decision any easier! :)Hi Colitas,That is the ring that...

Yes, I was hoping that someone who went could offer a review of these based on what they heard. That's assuming Thom, Chris and Peter were all in attendance. 
best turntable under $5k
John, perhaps you did not read my post or simply became aggitated that I have not whole-heartedly endorsed the Lenco. I openly admitted that I did not seriously undertake the plinth project. You are very quick to jump in when anyone dares to offer... 
best turntable under $5k
"It's interesting that just about all the tables mentioned have been beaten by a modded Lenco idler drive, at least according their original owners."Some have been beaten. Some others, the Lenco is perhaps as good as these. So in these latter case... 
Can I get a CES witness?
Sorry to be cryptic, I was trying to post while watching the Rose Bowl.CES, Consumer Electronics Show. It started today. I'm hoping someone had the opportunity to go and perhaps fill us in on what may be there in terms of analog playback equipment.
