Took my Levinson amp in for repair
I'll bet is was a 33x series amplifier, they were known to have cap problems. I should know, I had a 333 and ML wanted $2k to replace the capicitors. 
VPI Scout setup after watching Frefmer's video
The CI has nothing to do with antiskate. The CI allows for fine VTF and azimuth adjustments only. 
How much weight can Lead Balloon stand support?
Don't know, but most with the exception of the heavist table would work with the LB. Do you still use the lead bars and lead shot with your stand? No concerns about the lead? 
McCormack DNA 225 or Mark Levinson No.27

ps audio p500
Some use the older Power Plant adjustable frequency control as a turntable speed controller (assuming that the motor is AC powered). If you plan on using this feature, make sure that the Power Plan has the updated software chip that allows for min... 
ps audio p500
