Anti skating SME V
I would check the level of the table and VTF like others have said. I have a SME IV.Vi and set the anti-skate to 1/2 of the tracking force of 1.7, so mine is set to about .85 or even less, my scale goes from zero to three. I set the needle down qu... 
Synergistic Designers Reference
I've had a bunch of cables in and out of my system, The Designers Reference is just one of them. As I stated before there are several cables that I've tried that work well in my system. I never did an A/B test using the Designers Reference and Ape... 
Sedonix
Do a search here using the word "Sedonix", you'll find some phone numbers for Greg Collins. I've not had to contact anybody about my AA player so I can't comment on Sedonix. What is wrong with your player and how did you com about sending it to S... 
Replacement for Nordost Cables in my system?
Maybe sort your turntable out first, it's better to make one change at a time. Maybe do some research here, I've read posts here recently about VPI and harsh top end. Wires can reveal other problems in your rig.Good luck,Mike 
Synergistic Designers Reference
The Designers Reference, Designers Reference X2 and Absolute Reference are a great "value" cable now. I've not tried the Kubala but did use some from Kimber's upper line and Cardas Golden Reference, I liked the Synergistic more and eventually move... 
Who are these crazy people?
I can tend to listen to vinyl differently than cd's where I can't click to the next favorite song. The MFSL Ziggy is a great album. 
CD player vibration from CD's
If you can track it down to certain cd's that are vibrating, try them in a different player, maybe it's the Oppo that is the problem. I'm not sure a slight warp would cause a vibration, it may be more likely an off center (out of balance) disc can... 
$20k top, full range speakers?
Look for JM Labs (Focal) Nova Utopia, about $20k.Mike 
question regarding diy anticables ple
Matt,Just request an exchange for the cables you need instead of cutting the wires. You'll kill their value if you re-terminate yourself.Mike 
Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player
I just added a CD player (again) to my vinyl system, I have been away from CD's for a couple of years. My reasoning is that even though CD's are on their way out there was a long run and as they become less popular there will be a lot of used CD's... 
Audio Aero Capitole 192 MK II se upgrade
I looked and the tubes are Philips.This is interesting though, the leads from the two capacitors wrap around the bases of the tubes where they attach to the board. To change the tubes the capacitors would have to be moved. This is in a AA Referenc... 
Audio Aero Capitole 192 MK II se upgrade
I have the AA Reference SE, if I get ambitious this weekend I'll open it up to see what's inside.I'm not sure I've heard of anybody getting ahold of AA directly, that's why I'd wait for a distrubutor to be announced and go through them. You can al... 
Audio Aero Capitole 192 MK II se upgrade
I think the cryo 6021W they use is Sylvania.I think Globe is out of business.I think there is supposed to be a new Audio Aero distributor announced soon. I would wait for a distributor to be named and contact them for cryo 6021W tubes, I can't fin... 
What you drink while listening sessions?

JL Audio F113 or F112 For Dynaudio Confidence 5
Better off with two f112's, when the levels are set and dialed in, two subs will give a noticeable better balance. The potential is there for more boom boom to disturb the neighbors but if they are dialed in to blend with the mains and the levels ...
