Advice on Music
Here's a REC per my old post.Not much info on these, but they used to come up on Ebay years ago...Oh, and they are MONO,If you ever run across box sets of Jazz vocalists by The Easton Press check them out.They were produced in the mid 1980's and t... 
O.K., I know some of old audiophiles can have a golden glow to our memories...that said,
Hey...I always suspected that you had Classe.DeKay 
New outdoor BBQ speakers

Where to Connect a Phono Preamplifier into a Line Stage
It would depend upon the layout of your preamplifier circuit.HWY61 is spot on with his response.DeKay 
GNEDBY RIP
I store CD's "standing label edge up" in the shallow drawers of an old Tansu cabinet.This way they are out of sight, plus the labels are easier to read.I owned the chest prior to owning CD's, but typical new or antique shallow drawer chests are ty... 
Why do I get a weird/basic page when I go to A'Gon?
Actually, I figured it out by asking myself..."What would George Gobel have done?"DeKay

Isolation Cones vs Cheap Cables
Millercarbon:I tried two types of "Racing Cones" maybe 25 years ago and did not care for either.Same as with all the other cones I've tried using Three (instead of Four) offered increased stability.  I ended up using Greater Ranges/Neuance shelves...

I assume that you are not targeting Glenn(C), like I would.DeKay 
Isolation Cones vs Cheap Cables
Research the mechanics of "camera tripod" and then apply that info/logic to your application.Three (proper for the application) spikes/cones beats Four unless you have you have the OCD capability to adjust Four for days/months/years in order to eq... 
Recommend a power amp to pair with Yamaha A-S1100

Sorbothane record weight?
Google "Michael Lim light weight record clamp"...It's a 45 adapter that can be used as a 58 gram weight (not really a clamp) and it's under $15.I use a  DIY 150 gram weight on my suspended deck (Thorens) and suspect that going even lighter would b...
