Speaker binding posts with plastic covers
They DO NOT unscrew! You CANNOT use spades with these. The crimper is for the bare end of a multi-strand wire. It ’melds’ (by crimping pressure) the individual strands into a semi-solid strand to then insert (like a banana pin) into the connector... 
Help with tube choice
Cannot help you, sorry. I wish I knew what E88 tubes Luxman uses (and Cayin 6sl7/6sn7 also) so when their branded tubes get old, I know what to get that sounds like them. I bought a pair of 6SN7 or 6SL7's from Brent for my Cayin. Didn't like the... 
Transimpedance has too much gain?
pinwa IF many LPs sound ’right’, you do NOT need to change the connectors on your Tonearm. No 1K prominence on many LPs, just some Rock, makes no logical sense. I have that VPI junction box, mini-din in, RCA out. VAS rewired my tonearm. I like i... 
Has buying and/or selling audio gear changed?
1st Post, alrighty then, You have clues not to buy from that seller. I simply do not like giving money to someone I don’t trust or like. IF unique, well, how to get it? I suggest you offer to pay the extra (3%?) for the PayPal Goods and Services...

Turntable choice for mono records
mijostyn I agree, listening from'anywhere' is a big advantage, in the corner, on the porch, in the kitchen .. and, our audiophile brains are trained to seek imaging, so sitting dead center, it is hard to completely dispense with that habit. MON... 
Tips for Auditioning equipment for low or zero expense
I consider Phono Stages (and their comparisons, IN your system) the most subjective piece in the Vinyl chain. Therefore, I always hope you can get a return option, new or used. Just try, return, try, jump for joy, keep it!  
She loves me she loves me not!
Like a broken record, I suggest you use 'reality' to help you make a decision. A sound pressure meter, tripod mounted at seated ear level. A test tone CD with selectable individual frequency bands. Chart the results 'on' and 'off'. Differences?...
