Wiremold ''NAIM'' powerstrip prices what's this???
Are the outlets in the strip "star grounded?" 
Any experience with the Audio Research PH7?
Thanks for your responses. For those of you that have the PH7 can you provide any comparatives to say the Lamm LP2 Deluxe, IO, Groove Plus, Steelhead, etc.?FYI, I use a Lyra Helikon (not SL or mono)which is around .35mv. I, too, had some concern a... 
dCS Verdi: Upsampled PCM vs. Converting PCM to DSD
Thanks guys for your responses; they were very helpful! FYI, I'm pretty well set in the cable department since my entire system is connected with Synergistic Designer's Reference Squared w/Active Shielding. As you guys suggested, this leaves me wi... 
Lamm LP2 Deluxe vs. Manley Steelhead
Mike/Gladstone,Since you guys are some of the more knowledgable analogue guys around, would you both look at my audiogon query, "MCs to load or not to load: that is the question" posted a few days ago. I'd appreciate your specific input. Thanks! 
Lamm LP2 Deluxe vs. Manley Steelhead
Gladstone,Could you tell me what replacement tubes you used in your Manley, their cost and if anything else had to be done or did you just do a plug and play? Thanks. 
Lamm LP2 Deluxe vs. Manley Steelhead
Mike, Glad to see how we are spending our Holiday! Interestingly enough the factory preset input impedance is 40 not 400 ohms for the LP2 according to the specs on Lamm's website -- that is what really had me concerned as I found it unusually low.... 
ARC Reference Phono vs. BAT VK-P10 SE

ARC Reference Phono vs. BAT VK-P10 SE
Mike, thanks for the very thoughtful response. I will take it under consideration. (no sense in throwing $2K at something if that is not the preferred answer) and given the rest of this system. I will try to get a hold of a Lamm and/or Manley prio... 
VPI-19 feet
I have an Aries Extended; and am also not happy with the stock cones arrangement. would this (or something else) work here as well? 
ARC Reference Phono vs. BAT VK-P10 SE
In order to keep this alive, it appears that no one has any experience directly or indirectly with the BAT VK-P10 and/or its "SE" updgrade? Is this correct...comments? 
ARC Reference Phono vs. BAT VK-P10 SE
Gladstone, but I'm NOT only listening to vinyl... have a full dcs setup for digital and have no interest in giving up the ARC preamp. Obviously, you love the Manley, and that's great, but it's not under my consideration...only the two components (... 
ARC Reference Phono vs. BAT VK-P10 SE
Gladstone, thanks for the pointer, however, the Manley is not of interest as follows. Since I already have a BAT-VKP10 (bought used 1 year ago), the choice I'm contemplating is to upgrade the BAT to SE status or sell it and get a comparably low mi...
