Rewire and new power cord or Upgrade TT
I agree with the previous posters. Upgrade the TT/arm/cartridge. Lugnut makes some very worthwhile suggestions. Before you do any purchasing of new stuff, I would take his/her suggestions to heart and embark on a tuneup of your current TT setup. C... 
Audio Physic with Solid State Amp
Hi, the system in my small study consists of the Audio Physic Step SLE monitors and the Plinius 8150 integrated amp. I've had this setup for 6-7 yrs and have not had an urge to change it. It plays music. The soundstage is well-defined and three di... 
Review: Grado Grado Reference Phono Cartridge Cartridge
Great review and commentary. Thanks. Although I've been a fan of the Grados for years, I have not listened to any of the recent models. My current cartridge is a Music Maker II (a modified grado) and my experience with it was very similar to yours...

Odyssey Extreme Monos---power and current to spare. Excellent sonics. 
Is there a best cartridge track force gauge?
I second dougdeacon's advice. A good, ditigal .01g scale can be purchased for approx $30 on ebay. I fabricated a platform for the stylus from an old credit card and used double-sided tape to attach it to the scale platform. It is a snap to use.

Replacing MM Cartridge suggestions phillips table
Welcome back! I think you're in for a pleasant surprise and good listening. My recommendation would be to go with a Shure V15VxMR. I believe you can pick one up from Jack's Audio for $200. I think this is an excellent cartridge. If you go this rou... 
small room speakers
I second the LS3/5a recommendation. Long ago, I owned a pair of Rogers LS 3/5a's and they were excellent. Currently in my study, I have a pair of Audio Physic Step SLE's and they are extraordinary. I have them set up in the nearfield arrangement r... 
Herman eats crow, RRL record cleaning fluids work
Hi folks,This has been a most interesting and engaging thread. For the (ahem) record, I've been a non-believer---much like Herman (probably worse, I've used my own home brew for years and thought distilled water is distilled water). However, havin...
