Rega RB808 tonearm
It's a good deal, price wise.   Check with the dealer you are buying the AT150 from for details but I would estimate it should work okay with that arm.   I suggest you choose a reputable dealer, there is no point in someone saying, "Yeah, its grea... 
12V trigger wire
Odds are the wire broke when you pulled it through the attic and walls, so check it for continuity, or the wire is so long, that the resistance of the wire attenuates the signal to the point where it won't work.   Those remote turn on circuits are... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
Funny, all this time I thought this thread was about power cords and they sound the way they do rather than digital vs analog and magnets versus phooby dust.  Maybe I need new glasses? 
Micro Seiki RX-1500 Gasket
Yeah, I have discovered the wild costs for some of this stuff.   I did send the German group an email and asked about the gaskets.   I'll post the response here, if I get one.   Thanks for the info!Robert 
2 channel setup
I echo the importance of listening to a lot of speakers. A lot. If you haven’t seriously listened a dozen in your price range, you aren’t shopping well. Likewise, listen to a set of speakers out of your price range on either side to know what your...

Cartridge Mounting Hardware
You can find a torque table here for various types of metal for small machine screws:  http://www.federalscrewproducts.com/torque-chart.htm  I don't believe nylon has a torque value as it certainly strips easily.   The torque numbers come from the... 
Headshell mounted cartrige storage/protection
I think you are going to have to make your own.   The only ones I have ever seen are the Fidelity Research ones.  I think they were FR - it was a long time ago and I haven't seen any since. 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
Guys, Two things - First, I have a question - does anyone know when the first audiophile power cord was announced or sold?  I know it came after interconnects but I was wondering what year it was.  Mid 1980's?Second - Regarding why equipment manuf... 
Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless
I finally got the Bluesound app to find the missing Node, did a upgrade, rebooting everything, and for now, it seems to be working.    One thing I did discover, the hard way of course, is after an upgrade one has to do a manual warm reboot of the ...

Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless
The repeater is an interesting idea, the others I have already tried.  I got a new router, recommended by Roon to solve this problem.   It was better, yes, but didn't solve it.   The ComCast modem was installed in Bridge mode, so that wireless par... 
Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless
