Squeaking/Paper Crinkling Noise Coming from Lamm LL2.1
Thought it was a noisy tube too. Replaced all the tubes and the sound was exactly the same, so that's not the problem. The amps are solid state but the sound goes away when the Lamm is muted or off so it's not related to the amps.  
$1000 (used ok) Streamer Dac recommendation please
Great idea but unfortunately just a DAC so I'd need a streamer too.  
MM Phone Preamp for DL103 (Already have a stepup)
I lost a channel because the tube sockets need replacing (It's a LP2). I still haven't asked what upgrades they are doing for the LP2s still. They may not offer anything anymore but I'm prepared to listen if they offer something.

Thanks for the suggestions @solypsa. Hageman is a great idea. I wish I could get a Le Phone fast enough but shipping from Ana takes quite a while.  
Another turntable
I second the PTP solid 9 or 12. Incredible table. Stabi R with 4Point otherwise. But why not just upgrade your arm to the 4Point and keep the TW? Easier step and it will get you closer to the big boys than you think  
What'd You Get For Xmas?
@upscaleaudio My wife has long given up on getting me anything. Birthdays and holidays are always "what are you buying yourself"? She's very nice about asking if I am enjoying my self purchased presents after the fact!  
What'd You Get For Xmas?
From a low rent mind. Everything that’s wrong with this world. People that are miserable in their own lives who want company in their misery   
What'd You Get For Xmas?
Lamm LP2, bought used from a friend of a friend getting divorced. He didn't mind taking a loss so long as "she doesn't get it".

@czarivey Miss my FJ60 and 62! Both times someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse  
Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other
I would do the Kuzma Stabi R with a 4Point Arm. Best sounding arm I’ve ever heard. And the poster who suggested a wall shelf was right on! I’ve compared many tables on and off wall shelves and the difference is usually startling. Also I have to sa... 
Analog upgrade
That Lamm is so awesome except you still need a step up because the internal one is garbage. That said, they kinda do you a favor because matching an SUT to your MC cartridge is such a huge improvement from one size fits all.  
Any Harbeth users hear Fern and Roby Ravens?

Alternate screw down clamp for VPI Aries
Ok, wow. The stainless steel VPI clamp sounds so much better than the delrin clamp (I borrowed one and have been listening/comparing) that it's almost shocking. I know a clamp/weight should be a good idea but I'm amazed that I can hear such a clea...
