Rega DAC RCA cable recommendations?
Rega Couples work very nicely.... 
Can Harbeths Perform Well In Nearfield Listening?
Agreed. Your friend wants everything in the candy shop. In his size room, the 3's are the choice. The 7's are more forward sounding, if he turns it up I for one wouldn't want to be sitting that close. If he went with the 5's or 40's, it'd be him ,... 
rega P5 with dynavector 10x5..which phono?
There's a correctness with the P-75 that I haven't heard with any other phono stage at or near its price range. I'm not saying there aren't better phono stages...obviously, with more money, or perhaps a different cartridge. But if you have a 10x5 ... 
rega P5 with dynavector 10x5..which phono?
Back to the OP, the p-75 is a great match for the 10x5. Try one, you'll see, or hear...:) 
rega P5 with dynavector 10x5..which phono?

Transparent or Nordost?
Don't know about the Nordost, but new Shunyatas are amazing....and I don't like the Transparent marketing scheme, IMHO. Very odd to me that people buy into that. 
Shunyata new VTX
Neither.The Hydras VTX's are power cords for the power conditioners, like the Triton, Talos, and Hydra series. The Black Mambas have been superseded, but not replaced, by the new ZiTron Cobras... 
Well tempered question?

Well tempered question?
Hi LewmThe arm's damping can be changed by lowering or raising the paddle in the cup. Once correct damping is set then it's forget and play. In the newer Amadeus it's as simple as lowering or raising the cup for damping.. Can't remember if my Ref ...

Questions about Musical Fidelity V-Link USB/SPDIF
Hi Bob, Is this the original V Link in black with the scared black cat printing on it, close out for 99, or the newer mk ll that usually sells for $189?Thanks... 
Does Harbeth Have Plans Penetrating PC Market?
Odd comment, mr cake head, I have a pr of Harbeths at home.. Have for years.... And if someone said here's a new pr of Harbeth 5's and that's all you get the rest of your life I'd be quite content...My snarkiness to Alan S is merely tongue in chee... 
Stereo and Fish tanks - noisy need help
Agreed, a canister type of filter like Eheim can be very quiet if maintained.Also under gravel filters depending on how the tube feed is supplied. I didn't see any mention of what you're using.Fresh or saltwater? My big salt water tank was dead qu... 
Rega RP3 or Pro-ject Expression III?
