A look into classical
This may sound funny but to get my classical music selection up to speed I'll just go select random stuff from composers and performers that catch my eye. 9 times out of ten it's good but on a few occasions GREAT and gets played often. Some that c... 
First TT
Just got my first turntable and it consists of a Sota sapphire table with a SME 309 arm and a Dynavector 10x5 cartridge (2.5mV output). What type of phono stage would you all suggest me consider for this rig? Are the battery designs a good idea? I...

Entry Level Cables
Welcome Smwatson! All I can suggest is do your research and you wont be dissapointed. One of the most invaluable sources of information available is Robert Harley's complete guide to hi-end audio. Good luck! 
AC Power Cord and Krell Pre

MC phono on VTL TL2.5
Sorry, Will be using with a dynavector 10x5 cart and the rest of my system. Just wondering if keeping it simple w/internal VTL option board is wiser than getting outboard Dynavector P75.Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. 
First TT
Thanks for the responses all, Grimace it's kinda funny as I always tend to keep an open mind type of approach when considering spending costs.(Dont like the idea of upgrading all the time) Robert Harley in the ultimate guide to Hi-End audio sugges... 
RCA cables from preamp to amplifier
Well after playing more of the music collection I've come to realize the importance of keeping the lengths short. Sounded terrible lacking dynamics, punch, and more i'm sure that I cannot think up a term to describe. Plugged back in the originals ... 
RCA cables from preamp to amplifier
Thanks for the suggestions all unfortunately I dont think that upgrading the preamp to something with balanced outs will work budget wise. I think that the TL 2.5 totally kicks with all sorts of music which is a good thing for the wide variety of ...
