@tomic601 Yes, leg, thanks Jim, pardon my layman’s terms! But now that I think of it, not sure it has to do with what leg. A month ago my front end and amps were on 2 separate lines on the same leg at the panel, but now since moving my front end a... 
Interconnects under floor?
Sorted. Works perfect. Used these both ends, ran the XLRs under the house along floor joists using this very manageable conduit zip tied every couple feet for extra closure. Total cost about $20, no new cables.

Problem found. A dimmer on the other side of the house. It’s not on the same line as the whole system is on its own dedicated. I guess the dimmer causes a ground loop since they’re on the same bar at the box? When on: buzz. When off: dead quiet. A...

Looking for a new phono preamp
Way too late to comment here, but seeing the early suggestion for the RCM... and have to add... the Sensor II is wonderful. I actually preferred it to the Herron. The only MC I used was Zu DL103 but it felt like cleaning dust out of the crevices o... 
Preamp for Herron VTPH-2A
Users have their mantras suggest their ideas (many invaluable) even if they’re not for you. I always appreciate input from all sides, even if I’m invested in the opposite direction. If not, then best to ignore the comments you find irrelevant, rat...

Phono Stage, How much do I need to spend, New or used.
Don’t listen to anyone that says vinyl/phono won’t fill a room, that’s utter nonsense!+1 for the Herron. I had one for a little while, loved it! It if you want something  
Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed!
That dude at Cruchfield is full of it. Return it. I’ve had 5 or 6 1200s, never had this problem. Even after dragging them to gigs repeatedly for 20+ years. Get your money back.

I grew up in Thousand Oaks. Do you mean to tell me the goldmine of digging was under my nose? 10,000 or so records later? That’s much easier than digging through rat poop and mold in old basements around the globe.
