"What album are you refering to when you mention "Captain and Me" ?""The Captain And Me" by the Doobie Brothers. IMHO, it is their best effort:-)

SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301
"The reviews and comments out there lead me to believe I will be better off using a non SME arm on the 20/3"So folks are saying to put a non SME arm on a SME table? Check to see if they are off their meds.As for the 301, yes it must be fashion and... 
Phono preamp comparison: Herron vs. K&K
" I use a Shelter 501 MKII."I would consider a better cartridge first. You have a very nice system and the 501 II is holding back your LP playback. You may want to see if a Lyra Delos will work in your arm.Good Luck,Robert

SME 309 and SOTA Sapphire - Cable & Cartridge Help
Hello,I have a SOTA Star/SME 309/Lyra Kleos. Despite what some would lead you to believe, there is nothing wrong with the stock VDH cable that ships with the 309. It is detailed and neutral. I have tried it with two different phono pre's.I would r... 
Anyone compare budget phono oft recomended?
As some may remember from other threads, I too have a GCPH. I have heard many phono pre's and I would concur with Duaneadam that the GCPH is quite something at it's price point and I got it on sale so it was even cheaper. The reticence at 110 idea...
