Wanting to get into Vinyl - Need help
I second the local analog / turntable shop for demoing and setup. As for phono preamps, I really like my Pro-ject phono tube box II. It matches up well on the Ortofon MC-3 turbo (a high output MC so you run it on MM phono stage settings). The MC-3... 
Tube amp on/off: best practice?
I leave my pro-ject tube phono preamp on all the time. Is this ok?Rest of my system is Audio Refinement SS gear.TIA,Scott 
Whats the best Cartridge for a bright Pro-ject 9 ?
I really like my Pro-ject tube box II with my Pro-ject Xpression III table. I am running an Ortofon MC-3 turbo now but hope to go to a Benz Micro Gold next.Scott 
New to Turntable - what're involved in playing LP?
Find a great local used record shop. I've had a blast starting from zero LPs just under a year ago to quite a decent little collection. :)I went from a Pro-ject Xpression I with Pro-ject Speedbox I and Pro-ject Phono Box I (not a bad little deck) ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Hi everyone,I don't have time to read all the posts in this thread, but to summarize, it sounds like MM/MI are more flexible and deliver a better sound for the dollar than low output MC cartridges and high output MC ones can be a good compromise. ...

Speaker spikes-worse sound-what gives?
Wow, I am glad I found this thread today. After moving my Tekton 6.5t monitors from the top of my low and wide wooden stereo cabinet to older sound organisation 25" metal speaker stands (usually sold to pair with Linn Tukans), I was getting a much... 
Official fix for Project TT rumble now available
Will this "fix" void the factory warranty? I have a Pro-ject Expression III that I purchased in Aug 2011 as a demo. Motor became noisy after a couple months with a lot of listening and was replaced under warranty. What is the best way to purchase ...

Mogami wire vs Signal Cable inter and Linn K400
Have all Mogami wire in the system now and very happy with it. 
Interconnect Help
Mogami 2549 with decent connectors (I used the Neutrik ProFi - about $50 a pair). Just ordered my second batch to outfit my whole system. Pro Audio LA can put these together for you. Very flexible cable to boot.

Audio Refinement Pre5 has both 2 channel for most inputs and 5.1 for AV/DVD/BluRay in. 
Oppo Nuforce BDP-93NE
One more thing Upgradebug_up_urass mentioned about the BDP-93NE in his system. He mentioned the NE sounded wooly in his system, which is exactly how my tube / turntable dealer describe most MM cartridges (especially lower end ones - subjectively p... 
Oppo Nuforce BDP-93NE
Upgradebug_up_urass:I will be trading in an Audio Refinement Pre5 and Multi5 for a custom Rogue Cronus Magnum (on order right now) powering some Tekton 6.5t (50Hz - 25kHz, 92dB sensitivity, 4 Ohm - http://www.tektondesign.com/Model65t.htm). I was ... 
Mogami wire vs Signal Cable inter and Linn K400
I am about to place my second order of Mogami 2549 with the Neutrik ProFi RCA connectors to outfit my entire system with 2549 interconnects. I also just ordered some Mogami 2921 quad bulk speaker wire for a bi-wire setup in both of my systems. Loo...
