Beautiful and Impressive Work, well done.  
Audio Research or Luxman?
audiojerry do the red lights change when you try up or down? where do you live? I’m in Plainfield, Central NJ. If close enough, you can borrow one of my working units, I have a spare, and we can definitively prove yours does or does not work. I... 
Audio Research or Luxman?
audiojerry The Chase volume does start LOW, 2 red lights out of 5 lit. It's volume change is very many small steps, click click click ..., 3rd light, click, click  click ... 4th light  up to 5 lights then a few more clicks.. It ought to get prett... 
Acos Lustre GST-1 ...... YAY or NAY. ..... (has Removable Headshell AND VTA on the FLY).
lewm, You are right, except: TT is missing it’s dust cover, so that would limit purchasers. None for sale here, and past sales (none from USA) from anywhere are not that expensive, so I think I would be stuck with it. nobody here is saying anyth... 
Acos Lustre GST-1 ...... YAY or NAY. ..... (has Removable Headshell AND VTA on the FLY).
I’m in no hurry, but it appeals to me. I learned about the gasket problem on the JVC Victor arms; what parts to make sure are included on the GST-801; just learned about the potential worn rubies on the Technics arm, ... so I thought it would be w...

this is a simple remote volume control https://neegousa.com/products/50-8394-mcm-volume-control    
Audio Research or Luxman?
audiojerry, I ASSUMED you had more than one source equipment, thus I mentioned the Chase Unit. We are talking about getting you listening until you find someone who will repair the Luxman’s internal volume controls someday, correct?. After that,...

Acos Lustre GST-1 ...... YAY or NAY. ..... (has Removable Headshell AND VTA on the FLY).
jason, thanks for the response with good info, I asked the seller to take the arm off the TT and sell it separately, as it is in Denmark and I don't want to pay shipping for a TT I don't want. I cannot tell from the photos, but I think the TT mi... 
Recommendations for short tower or bookshelf under 38” tall
Video, 2 or 3 people wide, you need off-center positioned people to get a full width audio image, these were designed specifically for that http://www.hifi-classic.net/review/dbx-soundfield-100-135.html I do not know what modern speakers can cre... 
Are tubes psychological?
Give a wealty client who knows nothing advice, this is nice, but this is better. Client buys the other, far more expensive probably.. Why, it appeals to him in ways it does not to you. I realized, auto, camera, audio, lawn mower ... I want stuff... 
Recommendations Wanted
before you buy new, do yourself a big favor and buy a sound pressure level meter. I did, it’s my latest ’you ought to do this’ kick. Pro friends used theirs in my space twice years ago, then took them away. I used my ears since then. Changed back... 
Audio Research or Luxman?
  rwwear I had it out for a few months during my quest for a better sounding CD Player. I just put it back in yesterday after I settled on my Yamaha DVD-C961. I’l mess with it, in/out/direct to Cayin, Preamp thru Chase or Direct to Cayin. I’ve...
