SUT help
@mmcgill829 As Stated, I have experienced many SUT's, a large selection of these on the home system, that are with retail Values of Approx' £300 - £2K and maybe even more expensive if listened to in other systems. These SUT's are designs no longe... 
SUT help
SUT's that are a match to a Cart' are not all equal in their ability to impact on the end Sonic. On previous occasion within this forum, I have made it known different Brands / Models / Transformer Types used for DIY Builds are able to create the... 
MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY?
I would suggest a Cart' with a Cantilever produced from a Two Layer Boron Tube, has the ultimate Boron Type Material as a Cantilever. The Technology required to go to the lengths to create the Boron Tube was quite a feat in itself. The Techies' i... 
**Smoking integrated tube amp, advice needed:
Your Story is very much in keeping with adice given a long time ago,  in relation to be disciplined towards a safety attitude around tube equipment. I was informed of Red Valves and the need to have eyes on Tube Equipment at Power On and in use a... 
Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home?
The OP states: "What concerns me more is does it come from a drunk-free, drug-free home.  I think befuddled owners are far more worrisome than pets or children." One persons Bottle of Wine is another's Oblivion and there are Plenty of Prescribed...

Cool running, low powered power amp
You could go out and try something very new to you, such as the Mr Nixie STCII Power Amp. At 18 Watts, it should easily deliver for the 97dB Speakers. With the referred to Budget, Bi-Amping is also an Option with plenty of monies remaining.  
San Diego Audiophile group?
I am a member of a Audio Enthusiasts Group in the UK. My first introduction was when meeting a few Group Members at a Forums annual event approx' 150 miles from my home.  My demo's of brought along equipment started a dialogue with unknown indiv... 
Glanz toners for dummies
I don't own, but do listen to a MH 1200S regularly on a very well known and experienced in use audio system. The Tonearm is on a Standalone Mounting Pod, used with a SP10 R. Cart's experienced to date on the 1200S, are Miyajima and Ortofon, off ... 
MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY?
I have been exposed over many years to how a Cart' can be perceived in use, when exposed to the conditions being referred to. Unwanted conditions that can be avoidable or much much improved. Many years past, on a heavily modified Idler Drive TT, ...

The impression made from a Cartridge, as being nudged into the discussion by tomic601, is fundamentally dependant on the Mechanical Interfaces that are present. A non- True Axis of the rotation of the Platter Baring Spindle and noise/energy trans... 
Could Class D really be that good?
Whilst Discussing OP Amps, the OPA 1656 is one known to be selected for use in place of other OP Amp's.      
Looking for advise and recommendations on a nice record cleaner.
@mijostyn Stated, "I am stuck following my own logic which I admit is based on assumptions."  @hsounds stated, "I will tell you with all of my research there is not one cleaning method or brand that is perfect." Using the PAVCR Manual Method, th...

@pryso Your below statements are ones that I identify with and can not be in more agreement, that broadening ones listening in the homes of others with a real enthusiasm and adeptness for thing audio is a substantial foundation for finding ones pl... 
MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY?
What I have learnt from this thread is that a MI Cart' can now be acquired for $12K. Setting the Brand of that Cart's other models aside, what is the price jump from another go to MI Cart' to get to the cost referred to above, $6K, $7K, $8k as th...
