Coincident Cables Experiences? Any Good?
I will post my usual disclaimer and state up front that my impressions and opinions will be based on my tastes, preferences, system and room. That said, it is fuuny you should post this question as I was JUST going to post some comments on them. I...

Re-Tubing A Sonic Frontiers Pre Amp
Lak and Adrian4r have hit the proverbial "nail on the head!" Good advice! 
Amp upgrade over BAT VK-500??
Dtwomey, we were NOT bashing the BAT, but Metaphysics WAS asking about and UPGRADE to the BAT and, since he was already going to spend around $5k used, Acuujim accurately pointed out that for about $2k more he could have the Lamms. After all, we A... 
Amp upgrade over BAT VK-500??
I second the Lamm M1.1s suggestion. I too had a BAT VK-500, a pair of Plinius SA-100s a cj and Macormack DNA before getting the Lamms. It bettered all of them - most by a large margin. My speakers (Hales T8s) neeed juice too. FWIW, I too have the ... 
Stylus Cleaners?

Phono Cable
Nobody has mentioned the Hovland. It too is incredible.

Hovland HP100 vs CJ 16LS vs CAT Ultimate
In my system the Hovland is superior but YMMV. 
Hovland HP100 vs CJ 16LS vs CAT Ultimate
I've owned the CAT, I currently own a Sonic Frontiers Line 3, a Hovland HP-100, a Blue Circle, I just sold an Aesthetix Io phono stage and have heard the cj you mention. In my own system, (Lamm M1.1s, Sonic Frontiers Transport 3 and Processor 3, V...
