What is most important part of a system?
Al.....*clap*clap*clap *clap*clap*clap *clap*clap*clap* Thanks for being tonight's voice of reason & rationale...;)We all 'tweak' 'n 'fiddle' with whatever to achieve some form of goal that scratches that itch that drives us to do so.  Twas ... 
Can't tell,if my house is properly grounded
Just to add to the general dust cloud that the OP is removing hair over...I had a persistent 60cps 'hmmm' that sent me on a search & destroy mission.  Went through the usual 'disconnect this/eliminate that' routine on my system to no avail.  M... 
Ancient AR Turntable with NO anti skate
Terry, thanks for the 'bridge' *G*.  It's still 'a bridge too far' for the present...pardoning my 'punishing' you. ;)But I'll go give it a stare.  Sounds like my sort of device, devious though it may be on some levels.  I'm not opposed to giving i... 
Ancient AR Turntable with NO anti skate
normansizemore, I still own a SL-8 Rabco arm that's slated to get an update....replace the metal beaded chain drive with a plasticized cable version, some 'creative damping' to isolate motor and carriage, and whatever else comes to mind.  When set... 
Ancient AR Turntable with NO anti skate
My first 'real' TT was an AR....simple, straightforward, the only thing it lacked was a 'lift' mechanism, since nimble fingers sometimes aren't...*G*Anti-skate is a very subjective issue...some notice it, others don't.  I addressed it by going int... 
What to add or change for my system?
I'll vote with djohnson54...kick back for awhile and get used to your system.  Play Everything you've got at least 2~3X, esp. the selections you're well-acquainted with.  Fool around with speaker placement...see if anything stands out as an issue.... 
Legacy Audio Classic HD Speakers with or without Sub
HO....keep your subs and give the Legacy's a go In Your Space.  If you feel you'd like the bass 'extension' after all, you'll be good to go and give the Legacy's a break, so to speak.Depends on your musical tastes in the final analysis, and that's... 
Old Amp vs. New Amp
I used to own a pair of Kenwood L-07's that I'd steal back in a heartbeat.  Beauty and Power in a substantial package, and still highly regarded from what I gather.  But, wishes 'n fishes....;) 
Is it too bright or is it high resolution?
'Bright', HO, seems to go 'mano e mano' with resolution.  Speed in response of the given radiator is another factor....Just another 'balancing act' with everything involved.  One item in a given system could effect the overall performance....or wh... 
Whats playing on your system today?

Whats playing on your system today?
I realize we're supposed to apolitical here but, given the current situation we've finding ourselves in....IMHO...Dire Straits (how appropo), 'Industrial Disease'.I don't it matters which side of the fence you're on...;)  
Tune of the Day
Didn't listen to a damn thing today except the spouse complaining about the 60 cps 'hum' coming through a tv moved to a different location.  Spent a chunk of the evening chasing that devil.  Turns out it was in just THAT circuit, no other.  No con...

Up to $4500 burning a hole in my pocket
geoffkait, that's the best 'audio pun' I've seen used here in the entire time I've lurked and posted here @AK....kudos, sir. ;)...maybe 2 half Witts would make a hole, but only in one's wallet...and then there's living with some half Witts.  It's ... 
Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need.
dave b...*L* Sarcastic, yes...twit, hardly.  But thanks for the poet laureate thought. ;)  I strive in my way...After various iterations of speakers, and the lust for some beyond reach, it dawned on me that 'chasing the bleeding edge' in speaker t...
