Strangest problem I've ever had
You have a shorted wire. You can use an inexpensive multi meter set to ohms to check the resistance between the positive and negative of each speaker wire. If there is no resistance it is shorted (it will either have no connection or a 100% connec... 
Turntable sounds fast/high-pitched AGAIN
Go to Vinyl Engine website and look in the printable protractor area as there are some printable strobe discs. These can actually work off the flicker of a regular incandescent light bulb (if no other light sources are present). Will give you an i... 
musical cd player 1-2K range??
I do not know why my original answer posted twice, but no I have not had to opportunity to hear the Audio Aero Prima MkII or any player in that line to be able to give any comparison. 
musical cd player 1-2K range??
I have had the Lector 0.6 in my system for the past 3 years. After changing the 12at7 tubes for some RCA black plates or Telefunkens this is an amazingly musical player. It competes well with my analog front end at 1/3 the price. The controls on t...

cartridge alignment
I agree the 10x lens is required for the final alignment so you can visualize the lines in the mirror as well as the cantilever and ensure you have it correct. I like to use the 3x lens when I am adjusting overhang as it will allow focus with enou... 
Periodic replacement of Audio Grade Fuses?
Due to the environmental concern for properly disposing of these "fatigued" fuses I volunteer to collect them from you and place them somewhere they cannot adversely affect YOUR equipment. 
Cartridge upgrade for $600
I have the same OL table and recently upgraded from the original Silver arm to the OL Encounter Mk3c. I used many different cartridges withthe Silver arm and ultimately ended with a Sumiko Blackbird. The deck and arm responded well to each upgrade...

Need help using MC cartridge with my Marantz Amp
Can you hook up the transformer to the amp without the actual turntable hooked to the transformer and eliminate the hum? If this is true then the issue is in the connection from the TT to the transformer. Is there a ground wire attached in additio... 
No sound coming from spekaers - turntable?
I do not believe your NAD integrated has a phono input. If this is the case you will need an external phono preamp. What cartridge are you using? Different types of cartridges will have different requirements for the phono preamp. The cartridge ou...

Any experience with new Zu Event Speaker Cables?
Replaced my Libtecs with a trial of Mission SC initially. Found the Missions to have a full presentation with increased base, but loss of high end air and detail that the Libtecs provided. A pair of the Zu Event Speaker cables became available for... 
EL34 upgrade
I have used the New Sensor Svetlana EL34, Tung Sol EL34B, Siemans EL34, and the Gold Lion KT77s. Comparing these to the SED EL34s (original pre New Sensor Svetlanas) I chose to return to the SED. The best of the others were the GL K77. The KT77 ha... 
Decent Bass & Mids, compressed highs on Analog
High frequency reponse will suffer first and to a greater extent from poor or incorrect alignment. Time for a new stylus or new cartridge. You will not get your desired improvements before this is done.
