Seeking some info on Allnic L-3000
Before buying a piece like that used, I would find out where it can be serviced if something breaks. It’s not easy to find a good tech who has the schematics.

An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality
“That’s not an argument. It is simply contradiction.” ”No it isn’t.” ”Saying “”No it isn’t “” isn’t an argument.” ”Yes it is.”    
Dumping it all for Lyngdorf???
@rbrertalotto- it’s good to save up for things, but from where I sit, everything I want to buy jumps $500 every time I turn around.  Maybe better to buy on credit and pay a few months interest. Just sayin. Also, if the 8 watt tube amp is what you ... 
Dumping it all for Lyngdorf???
If you’re that happy with the speakers, I would consider the matching sub. It supposedly has good room correction ability. Remember also that if you love the speakers, part of the reason, perhaps a big part, is because they are well matched with t...

Accept the mystery.   
Aftermarket Upgrade Question
Try a Herbies mat. It made a huge improvement on my old Music Hall turntable. OTOH, it was horrible on my Linn. Money back if not satisfied.  The other thing that might help is a Vibrapod under each foot. May help, may not. Beyond that, I wouldn’t... 
LINN LINTO NOISE

High Fidelity Cables?
Do you actually have a 71 455?  I had a 70 GTO with the 400. But that was in 70. Nice car.   
Testing stylus wear.
If you really want to check the cart for wear, send it over to Steve at VAS for a checkup and cleaning. He has an excellent reputation and I believe he will give you an honest appraisal.   
High Fidelity Cables?
Aren’t people still buying the contact enhancer?  Or is that over too?  
Dumping it all for Lyngdorf???
Just a friendly piece of advice from someone who has been there and back. Buy what sounds good and forget about what makes sense on paper.   
any thoughts?
Yes. Absolutely. At that age, even if the transport is repairable if it breaks, the caps and/or solder joints will be shot or almost shot. Better yet, check eBay for factory-refurbished CXCs for about $350. The Best Buy in the transport game. Not ... 
Dumping it all for Lyngdorf???
It sounds like you have reached the point in your audiophile journey where you are tired of screwing around with gear and just want to sit back and listen to a system that sounds good. Nothing wrong with screwing around with gear, by the way.  It’...
