pindac, Thanks for your kind words. It can be a long haul no matter how you approach it.  
A Thought Exercise: Consolidating Analog To One Table and Two Cartridges
neonknight - The core question is really this. Does next tier of tables offer tangible gains in performance? That is really what the question is, would you not say? I have not posted in a long time. The following is my personal opinion, because t... 
Can't give up the old (McIntosh)
Actually, Tekton does have some monitors to choose from. 
Can't give up the old (McIntosh)
Maybe Tekton, but no mini’s. Efficient and under budget. You would need to listen of course. I have never heard the combo.Kenny 
If you had to start all over again in this day and age
The merry-go-round over the last 50+ years of multiple systems and upgrading, has gotten me to a point where I’m ‘almost’ completely satisfied with my sound. What I did not quite understand in those earlier years of changes, is that you have to fi... 
Radio Days..............and you?
My McIntosh MR71 is not original. I first sent it to Audio Classics to have it restored to original spec. It sounded very good after that. A couple of years after that, I sent it to a guy up in Montreal, who designed and built tube amplifiers back...

Radio Days..............and you?
Edcyn,I could not agree more, as that’s where it’s at today for the technology. But, I have to say, I really don’t like my car radio or use an alarm clock.Kenny

Ikea Eket shelves with a large vinyl collection?
I have the black 25 cube unit and it's rock solid. I made modifications to the wall brackets and attached it to the wall with lag bolts into the studs. If I didn't need all the cubes for records, I could jazz up some cubes with art objects, for ex... 
Is a Power Wedge 116 any good?
Wow, I forgot I even started this post (2009)!Everything has changed since then...My system, my home, and the setup. The Power Wedge is now being used by my daughter for her system, but as a power strip upgrade. No problems with it so far.Kenny
