What makes tape sound better than vinyl ?
nmps, i think you have to accept that we all hear differently. There are characteristics of analog reproduction are a more pleasing to people, just as there are characteristics of digital reproduction that are pleasing to others. I am also in a bu... 
Loricraft PRC3 Noisy
Thanks. I did this and tightened everything and now it's back to normal. New issue is that I want to take the arm off and clean it but because I live at the beach, the arm is corroded in place. Hopefully some 3 in 1 oil will seep down into the sha... 
Thoughts on best budget phono pre-amp under $400?
I think if this guy would take $400, it’s a no brainer. Even if you have to stretch your budget a bit, it's worth it.https://www.audiogon.com/listings/phono-mk3-2017-11-09-preamplifiersI’ve had a P75 that I use as a back up in a really expensive v... 
Recommend which SPU?
You would recommend the Spirit over the #1e if I'm just thinking about getting a taste before I commit to a large investment?

WTL Simplex II>A23 Interconnect>& Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II Hum
I had a Simplex with hum too and the solution was to buy shielded phono cables. I ordered a set from Grover Huffman and the hum went away. 
5 meter Speaker Cable Recommendation - flexibility important
I see now-- the answer to my question is yes.Is the Duelund flexible enough to bundle up to a 1' circle when I'm not listening? I have a small space and have to move the speakers and wire out of the way between listening sessions.

Harbeth 30.1 upgrade from C7ES-3 Question
Additionally I must add that low level listening is way way better with the M30.1s. I still have the C7s and side by side it’s an obvious advantage.Just trying to help others who are considering this upgrade. 
Harbeth 30.1 upgrade from C7ES-3 Question
After further listening, I'm thinking it is an upgrade. I feel like the purity of voice and instrument has grown on me and swapping back the C7s is a bit unsatisfying. Definitely hear more of an edge to the vocals and in general everything is a bi... 
Harbeth 30.1 upgrade from C7ES-3 Question
I now have both the C7s and the M30.1s in house. Don't know that I'm hearing a $1200 difference. Giving up bass for a degree of purity of midrange is a tricky trade. 
Harbeth 30.1 upgrade from C7ES-3 Question
I'm using Foundation stands and I already have 30.1 Foundation stands that I got from a friend when he upgraded to 40s. It's a tricky loft kind of room, actually large but then split by a room divider. Speakers sit in the middle, clear of any wall...
