Minimum Sound Bar Height
Better coordinate the depth of the Mantle and the various positioning of the moving parts of the movable bracket. You might need to add some blocks behind the bracket to push the monitor/brackets out to make it work. Buy the most heavy duty brac... 
KT77 tubes in a MC275 amp
IF you like the sound of the new ones (after 60 hours break-in), then it is wise to order a spare set

High end speakers at low volume
IF your speakers sound good without loudness compensation (any brand, any size woofer), i.e. normal amount of bass at very low volume, then they have too much bass at normal or loud volumes. i.e. that is like having the loudness circuit engaged at...

New, Very Interesting CD Transport
  creativepart I hope you know I was not trying to be negative about the unit. I don’t stream, understand little about streaming, so I focused on my needs, ignoring cost comparisons. I have room for only 1 unit in my system, thus I want it to h... 
Audio technica AT6006R tonearm lifter
lewm, woof good solutions, however, like mine and others are 'tricks' to solve a problem that should not exist. I think something else is OFF, and should be tracked down as whatever is OFF might/must be affecting ____ while playing.  
The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation"
I learned at the Gangster Museum, NYC this about Denatured Alcohol Alcohol had been subject to excise taxes as a beverage in the United States until 1906, when a process borrowed from Europe added “denaturants,” or substances that made grain-base... 
Step Up Transformer
Never used or heard a ’Bob’s’ I love my Vintage McIntosh’s MM Phono sound, thus only needed to boost a low MC signal up to MM signal strength, to continue to use the mx110z’s tube phono. AND, I wanted PASS, to simply send (Pass) a MM cartridge’s... 
New, Very Interesting CD Transport
True: ANYTHING that reads a CD spins at the same variable speed to maintain the bit rate? CDs spin at an angular speed of 500 rpm when read from the center and 200 rpm when read near the circumference. Besides having an angular velocity, the CD ...

Budget AVR Selection for RSL 5.1.4?
I have owned and liked Onkyo, However This unit does NOT have front preamp out, which is needed to someday setup a separate amp (with pass thru) for the front speakers. The AVR still controls the front volume along with the other channel's volum... 
Audio technica AT6006R tonearm lifter
I agree, it should not pull out via anti-skate, and as you say, you used it for years successfully. Is the top of the lifting arm’s rubber surface worn/polished too smooth? Fine sandpaper to restore some grip? Even cut some small indentations. I...
