Suggestions for a Phono Preamp.
first, disconnect, clean contacts, reconnect your esisting system. many 'so much better' come from just this. now listen well to your existing again. think 'preferred', not 'better'. when it comes to phono, eq, sut .... make sure you can return...

New arm for TW Acustic Raven one
what are your priorities? fixed cartridge or removable headshell? 9", anything longer, definitely want 12"? seems you want/need a 3 hole surface mounted plate like my Mission and my Blackbird which they refer to as ’linn/jelco’, your 309D’s mo... 
Just my observation - seems like there is less listed on AG
I met and now have several photography friends since joining dpreview. Here they try to prevent us from sharing contact information with each other, I presume so we won’t sell ’outside’ of their fee. I don’t mind the fee to sell, I pre-pay even t... 
Vintage Integrated Amplifiers With Great Sound
  yogiboy yeah, I confuse it's age because it sounds vintage, like my 1956 Fisher 80az Mono Blocks which is exactly what I was hoping for when I took a chance on it.

Have KEF 107s looking give away in Bergen County, NJ
Sadly, I had to decline Alex’s kind offer. I was going to revive them for my son. Checking with him, he and his wife have just decided to look for another house, likely smaller, so unlikely he will be able to enjoy them. I found a video on youtu... 
Looking for a new (preowned OK) line stage under $5K: suggestions?
That's a nice list of goodies. I would document what you are actually getting with a sound level meter and a test cd with individual frequency bands, then you know how much and which specific frequencies you need to 'tame'. meter, tripod mount, ... 
Music Hall 9.3 vs 11.3 Turntable
  ronald_p you are a great example of the need for a removable headshell. I don’t know about the Music Hall TT’s. Can you order a different arm? without an arm? have a seller install your own arm? Live near Plainfield, NJ, I'll help you figure...

replacement for MOFI beatles box set
"since she knew I didn't listen to them and could care less." Just find one or two of their albums you might listen to occasionally (if any), and don't worry about 'the best', because that's a collector's game.  
Music Hall 9.3 vs 11.3 Turntable
You can love a great 'deal' but you cannot hear it. You will be listening to your choice for years. I prefer a removable headshell, for optional cartridges, both of these are fixed arms. Also an arm with easily adjustable arm height. I would fir...
