ADD HINGES to existing removable DUST COVER
Yeah, bad idea, I didn't think it thru. I don't ever play with cover in place, never did.I used to leave my smaller TT's dust cover up/open while playing, lift it fully off for real listening sessions. It was also about 7" lower than this one is.T... 
Having A Tough Time Justifying More Than One Table
I just realized, my office TT can also be a spare for the main system if needed for a short time. 
Having A Tough Time Justifying More Than One Table
As you describe, multiple arms on your best table is the choice I would make. Wanting/needing a dust cover is a primary limiting factor for me, you didn’t mention that. I don’t have the space for more than 1 large TT, I keep a spare TT in storage ... 
Adding a small subwoofer for music in 2020
Sounds similar to my rock and roll office I just revised a few months ago. I am very happy with my results. You need a Low Pass or High Pass Filter SOMEWHERE, and a self powered sub. Send only the low bass to the sub; or, send only the upper bass/... 
What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard?
SS Amp, credo "Do No Harm"For me, the only justification for SS is the need for power, invisible/inaudible power. To drive inefficient speakers you simply love to volume levels you must occasionally have.Best SS I have Owned, in my system for year...

It’s a pleasure.
Absolutely right.I'm listening three ways right now, #3 the simple pleasure you mention.I've finished the TT upgrade, happy in all respects, and have a very successful cleaning method for my old LP's, actively cleaning in batches of 10.1. listenin...

has anybody else noticed this about singers?
woodie guthrie taught everyone, certainly me, that voice doesn’t matter.when I first heard Bob Dylan’s voice coming out of my older brother’s room, I opened the door, saw a half dozen brainiac acolytes huddled, and said "You Call that MUCIC!!!!" C...

I have never been happier than with my current setup which includes McIntosh Vintage Tube Tuner/Preamp mx110z.I sold McIntosh SS C28 Preamp and bought the mx110z.Happily, when I went to TT with 2 tonearms, mx110z’s two phono inputs made it easy.ht...
