What is the best sounding vinyl?
M.C.A. Super Saver Series.  Better vinyl than original and made with a lot of same pieces when pressing. So same quality mastering with better vinyl. I have several and can't believe how nice they still play. Yes I did buy some dogs as well. But f... 
sundara sound
Sounds like bad phones. I would return them.    
I got to get me some of this tiny vinyl.
$15.00 each? I bought "Let It Be" on 45 for .79 cents at KMart. And it still sounds good.  
Phono pre amp
Duok T4 Tube mm preamp. Inexpensive yet sounds nice. Good for something temporary.  
Best way to spend my money
Maybe a new rack that will hold your TT. 15' RCA run seems long for TT.  
Infinity Kappa 8..amp?
Late to game but I use a Parasound A 21 to drive my Kappa 8's and a Parasound A 23 to drive my 7's. Very Happy!  
Footers under new speakers
Tekon sells footers for $20.00. Remember every dollar saved can go to new vinyl.

I use a Panamax. I think I got off Amazon.

Sharing SACDs
I would never condone any "illegal" activities, but if one wanted to rip a "back up" copy of a SACD what would be a good piece of software?  
Center Channel Dialogue
Same problem with old Infinity Video one, wife had trouble with dialog. Just upgrade to a Kilpsh KCF C-5. Wife loves it. I am not a big fan of horns but in this case the horn tweeter works great for vocals. And the C-5 must be pretty damn efficien... 
You've run some pretty fancy MC's, but the _______ MM cartridge really impressed me
Music Hall Black Mojo.   
Dual speaker system
@w123ale  One of the reasons I picked Parasound amps was because you can loop them together. They have a set of RCA out on the back.    
Dual speaker system
 Yes I do. I have a pair of bi amped Kappa 8s (Parasound SS) and a pair of Kappa 7s (Behringer A800 class D) next to them. I daisy chain the amps together. So I can listen to all the speakers together or choose which pair I want listen to. Another... 
The best speaker cables you’ve had
Original Monster Cable. Works for me.
