Appreciate the responses so far, I'll see what they say as far as payment & shipping & get back to you.

This is a bit of a strange one, but was wondering if a member here would be willing to help me out. Guildford Audio has a pair of second hand cables I'm interested in purchasing but they won't ship outside the UK & I'm located in Canada. What I was wondering is if a local member might be...

These are the Koltura cables, that everyone is referring too? Anyone tried the D4-XLR on their 300DR? & what about the 252 specific Burndy?

This is also interesting to me, I have a Siltech AES cable between my streamer & DAC & have always been really impressed with it. Its from the previous Classic Anniversary series but their new Classic legend series looks rather interesting, thinking to move up the line. Do you have multiple...

So sounds like that includes the XLR's feeding the 300? If so, do you recall what improvements they had vs the stock cables/how the sound compared? Where do you feel the equilateral improved vs the std lunar version & which version (ie source/DIN, etc) of the cables have you used?

AR Sound Lunar has been on my radar for a long time but for some reason have never given them a try. I went from lavender to HiLine, which I then replace with Morgana, I didn't want the hassle of the HiLine & didn't notice any decrease in performance so now use Morgana for both my source...

I picked up one several months back with their "The Small Bottle" surfactant, I've only ever used the shorter 5min dry cycle & records have always come out completely dry (never tried without the surfactant).

I wouldn't read too much into this post, what he's says could be true but he hasn't owned that setup in over a couple years, so his audible memory isn't exactly fresh. He then later goes on to mention his previous setup wasn't the current DR versions & that it was past due for a service, so I...

A little late to the party but I will confirm what all the others are saying, better to be at the low end. When I bought mine from them at a local show, they had a graph showing the effective range on each model & as said, they become less effective as you near the upper weight limit. From...

No doubt there is & I'm not again upgrades (after all even with the RP6 I did add a GT subplatter, a dual pulley with white belts & a linear supply for the TTPSU), just feel some people go crazy with the upgrades while they could be better off with just moving up the Rega line instead.

A little bit of my previous Rega experience. I first owned an RP-40, for those that don't know it was a factory "hot rodded" RP-3 that came with most of the more important items from the RP-6. I had an aftermarket subplatter on it, a white RP-6 came up & I made the swap. I assumed performance...

My choice would likely be influenced by the speaker & room but in general I would say Simaudio would be my choice. With that being said, I did have a BrioR & a pair of Neat motive 3, years back in my second system & while it wasn't the best "hifi" sounding setup, it was extremely enjoyable to...

Its all relative, in general Rega is typically leaner sounding then the other brands you mentioned. As I said, from the different pieces of equipment I've heard from both Hegel & Simaudio (have heard numerous pieces from both), I would rate the Hegel as darker vs current generation gear of...

Demo is a good idea, Rega is typically on the thinner/leaner side so the other options will likely be fuller sounding vs what you currently have. I wouldn't be too concerned with the 50w rating of the 240i, Simaudio is similar to Naim in the fact that their amps typically have beefy power...

Interesting, have never heard that. As a Naim owner & being CDN & hearing Simaudio at lots of dealers/shows & owning some of their gear currently & other items in the past that is not two brands that I would compare as having similar house sounds.
