Harbeth SHL5 vs 40.1
Pdreher,My room is 19x17 with a 12 foot to 8 foot slanted ceiling. Do you think this might be to small for the 40.1's? 
Are VPI tables considered musical and involving?
After a long hiatus from the vinyl world, I decided to get back into it and purchased the Scout with JMW-9 arm and Clearaudio Vituosos Wood cart. It was an excellent enrty level/learning experience. I would have to say that the table is very "twee... 
Jelco vs Rega
I put an Origin Illustrious arm on my Avid TT and the results were really great. Ortofon, P Windfield Cart is outstanding with this set up also. 
Which power cord more important?
I was very sceptical about high end power cords so I contacted the cable company for an opinion and to audition power cables from there library. John at the Cable Company recommended a Synergistic Research Hologram D power cord for my Cary 306SACD... 
Tube el34
I just put 8, EH EL34's in my Cary CAD 120S amp just to try them out. I was using the new issue Gold Lion KT88's previously so this will be an interesting comparison. I thought the Gold Lions were great by the way. Maybe just a little to warm for ...

Pope Holland Tubes for Cary SLP98P
I just did some Sylvania 6SN7GT "Bad Boys" Circa 1951 in my Cary SLP05 and was totally amazed at the sound difference. Previous EH 6SN7's may have been a little tired but these Sylvanias took my system to a completely different level. 
Cary 306SACD trouble
Yes door does open and close without a cd in it 
amplifier needs
The oudoor speakers I am using are Presidian and they are rated at nominal 8 ohms. I'm really concerned that I don't harm this old classic amp. 2 speakers in the screened room area and 2 in the pool area. At an impass as to how to wire them. In se...

Almarg, What do you think then would be a good amp for this application so that there would not be a question? 
Buying Synergistic Research ICs so difficult
I have had wonderful response from the cable company. Whenever I E mail them, I always direct my email to John Pharo. He always e mails me back, usually the same day or worst case, the next day. I've been dealing with them for years and have never...

For best alignment, Google Mint Tractor and they will custom build you a mirrored, very acurate alignment tool specific to your arm and table. I find this device far betters all the others.  
Isolation with levelling
You can adjust the stock feet on the scoutmaster to level it on any stand. They unscrew
