Egad and gadzooks...ladies and gentlemen...children of all ages...this is the most colossal and stupendous...the most fantastic and amazing electronic device since Mister Edison invented the light bulb!!!! It will play the powerful and bombastic m... 
turntable sounds better on warm summer nights
I second Chadnliz's observation. Also, do you listen LATER on summer nights, when the power grid is cleaner? Do you have electric heat in the winter? Can you check the voltage at the outlet that powers your system in both summer & then in winter? 
Cables - When Did it All Start?
Sean, thanks for the correction. I never had any amp react badly to those cables. My friend, at the time, was selling some exotic equipment out of his house, but I distinctly remember buying them in Miami in 1975 or 1976.The only problem that I ha... 
"Mini" to Optical for Airport Express
Fishbone222, I'm not familiar with this device. Does it specifically have a mini-toslink [optical] output? Are you trying to connect to a remote DAC with a toslink input? And is this a standard size [sort of square] toslink input? 
Stolen SoundLabs - just in case...
Be sure to check on the hotel's legal liability for theft on their property...a "not liable for theft" doesn't cut it if there has been a history of thefts and they have not attempted to remedy the situation! 
Ethics: To what degree?
All of that rambling, and I still don't know what you're talking about! Was it a repeat of the original failure? Your warranty is 5 months out...was the latest failure a repeat of the original failure? Was it a 1 year warranty or a much loner one?...

Audiophile turntables of the 60's and 70's
I thought that the Kenwood KP-5022A Direct Drive Semi-auto turtable was pretty cool! 
Tired of Expensive Speaker Cable. Alternatives?
Stringreen, but I'll bet that picking up women is easier with the Mercedes, rather than the Honda :-) 
Artists 'SELLING OUT' - can we discuss?
Chadnliz, I understand your point now. I do have several copies of VIVA LAS VEGAS that have been performed by many different artists [The Dead Kennedys version is a favorite]. But changing the lyrics for a BONER DRUG ?!!!!Unclejeff, The Rolling St... 
Artists 'SELLING OUT' - can we discuss?
Chadnliz, apparently, we have different standards for "selling out". 
Tired of Expensive Speaker Cable. Alternatives?
To further clarify, there are good systems, reference systems, and SOTA [State of the Art] systems.Although there are no hard and fast rules, I would say that a Ref. system will cost $50,000+, while a SOTA system is $100,000+! An audiophile reachi... 
Artists 'SELLING OUT' - can we discuss?
And now for a new low! "Viva Las Vegas" has now become "Viva Viagra". I think I'm going to puke!
