TAS. The Absolute Sound?
@tonywinga   You would like my listening room. Check it out. I strove for perfect symmetry in the name of maxing out imaging.  The part you would really like is the custom DIY cabling--no mess there.  Now the stacks of CD's next to my chair---that... 
SEEKING ADVICE: Which component would you upgrade first?
GIven the enjoyment you receive from your old and new LP’s, protect them and upgrade your cartridge and turntable. With budget considerations in mind, I would then look for a newer used integrated amplifier. Finally, you can upgrade your speakers.... 
Advice and recommendations needed for a turntable rig...
Good suggestion regarding the old Dual table.  Perhaps of sentimental value as well.  I had a Dual 1219 that I just finished restoring. (An old neighbor set this out for trash pickup!!  It sat in my basement for over 20 years and I finally made so... 
Dog pissed on speaker
Klipsch speakers are known to be a bit bright.  Given a dogs high frequency acuity, maybe he was truly pissed off and sought some measure of revenge.

That Pioneer table looks like a great way to go.  A 32# table for $700!  Looks like a bargain.  I have the Project X2 in a headphone based system.  It's a beautiful table to be sure with a nice tonearm.  I'm very pleased with it.  But that Pioneer... 
Dog pissed on speaker
Leave the speaker driver alone.  You will do more harm than good trying to remove the urine. Dog urine is has a significant mineral load.  This will change the Fs of that driver. If you want to preserve your stereo image, have him urinate on the ... 
For the love of...kits?
@hilde45 I have not built any of the Analog Ethos kits but would not hesitate one moment to go with one of these kits.  The el34b kit (upgraded version) would be my first pick. Very reasonable cost. Great customer support.  I think this would pair... 
Better cd SQ
You really need to state how you feel your current CD player is lacking.  What exactly is missing??  You can change the sound in many directions but without knowing what you are looking for suggestions become random reflecting what a given member ... 
For the love of...kits?
As a budding audiophile, Dynakits and then Hafler kits were a great way to up the game with limited funds.   @hilde45  Not long ago I was at the Akitika site looking at their offerings.  I have no doubt this would be a fun build and am sure it wo... 
Classical Record Collection Needs New Home
Thanks for posting.  Hope these all find a home as it would be a shame to see these go to waste.  Agree with gregm, post this on multiple sites.  There certainly are collectors out there who would want these--just a matter of finding them.   
Acceptable to ask seller for option to return a component?
Do your homework before you buy.  If you don't like it, resell it at little to no loss.  
Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :)
I have always felt the 90th percentile is a very good place to live life and the things you enjoy. The last 10% can drive you crazy.  
Omega speakers in, '50s mono Jazz out.
Yes, the lack of a crossover and decent sensitivity/impedance curve allows these low powered amps to shine and do what they do best.  
Burn your power cables in PROPERLY with Haglabs Frycorder
Give the OP a break.  Who are you to refute what he heard?   I am neutral on this one but nothing useful is gained by mocking and disparaging others on this site.    
Which Vintage CD Player To Use As A Transport?
I would never suggest buying a vintage CD player for use as a transport.  What breaks down in CD players? It's the transport.  Just doesn't make sense.  Why would you want a high mileage transport?
