Value of upgrading only 1 set of interconnects?
In my experience there is a definite value to upgrading one component at the time; be it an interconnect or anything else in the system. Of course different connections may have different effects on the overall sound of the system. In your case wh...

Attenuator & Transformer for Moving Coil cartridge
Thank you guys for your responses. After reading all of these I have put aside the idea of of trying to reduce the output of the SUT, as the wrong approach.I the next day or two I will actually try the Signet SUT with the Delos and will report bac... 
Delos bottoming out anybody else experience this?
Delos is an excellent cartridge that does ride low but this should not be a random thing. Its also very sensitive to all adjustments. Not sure why your tonearm is not set to be parallel to the record surface. If after setting up everything as Lyra... 
Thoughts on VTA......
This is why Rega does not allow VTA adjustments even on their best arms. What you lose in rigidity for On The Fly adjustment against what you gain is not worth it. Not to mention the wasted time that you could be listening to the music. Set your V... 
Turntable cuing light
neat idea but watch out for those magnets underneath and your cartridge. just be careful you don't go close to your cartridge accidentally. I like the IKEA model better for that reason. 
SOTA vs VPI (or stick with my Rega?)
Why not stay with Rega and move up the ladder since you like the Rega sound. You don't mention your budget but I am sure you know Rega makes wonderful turntables way above the Planar 3.All the tables you mention are fine. I love the sound of my Cl... 
Speakers on speaker stands-isolation ideas?
http://www.primacoustic.com/recoils/These cost me around $100 each. They are without a doubt one of the best and most cost effective additions to my system. I even have one of these sitting under my REL Sub to great effect.  
Please evaluate my system...
Tim; You have a fine system. It is always easy to recommend changes to every component of every system. After all there is something better just around the corner. The real question is how to make changes and then be sure that what you hear is ind... 
Brand new to vinyl: Help!
I will not even try to get into digital vs analog discussions. At best it’s been covered a trillion times and at worst what sounds great to me may sound average to you. But to put your situation in another perspective that may make better sense yo... 
Let's talk power cords
Try these and listen for yourself ....... what do you have to lose ?.....at most $100.......But that is much better than asking me or anyone else on this post. I have these for all my equipment and the high powered ones for the Amplifiers. Others ... 
Lyra Delos - Dirt Build up on the cantilever
Hi Cleeds:Well to this date we are not certain what would have caused this type of condition.For what is worth I alway sweep the record with Audioquest Carbon record brush before playing (BTW the new one is outstanding totally eliminating static a... 
Lyra Delos - Dirt Build up on the cantilever
The reason why Mine could not be cleaned: "is that a build-up of dirt has effectively glued the cantilever of your Delos into the red magnet carrier, making it impossible for the cantilever to move. Attempting to extract the cantilever would almos... 
Lyra Delos - Dirt Build up on the cantilever
An UPDATE: After providing Jonathan Carr of Lyra with the serial number of my Delos he took a couple of days and then wrote the most detailed emails explaining what has happened to my cartridge and why it was not possible to clean or re-build it. ... 
New York HiFi Show: Tubes and Turntables
One of the worst and most boring shows I have ever been to. I agree with the above comments about what was being shown but there lies the problem with the industry as the whole, they are not catering for the ordinary people with a reasonable budge...
