Speaker Hum
Sounds like cable TV.  
Aftermarket power cable on Sutherland 20/20 MkII
I guess that dual mono is worth sacrificing. Glad you are happy.  
Custom Tuning Conspiracy
How many more times with the same tired speaker narrative from this guy? They look more like a gal to me. No offense intended to real females.  
Custom Tuning Conspiracy
I need a splooge towel for this one.  
Bootleg albums. Favs and stories
Audience recordings sounded better with the old Radio Shack PZM mics. As most shows are amplified mono what was the point of the spread? Stereo crowd noise?  
Add a Linear power supply or iFi SPDIF Purifier2?
@gte28  Check PM. I will say that it is quite difficult to return any AliExpress items. Better to try from Amazon. If it works is it actually worth it to wait weeks to save a buck? And what is the actual percentage of revenue that goes straight ... 
Technics 1200 w/ AT440ML/OCC ... BENT!
Same AT sound, newer tech:      
Perfectwave mkii or Rose RS250?
Lose the bridge card. I won't have a streamer in my house w/o a USB-A. I practically had to pay PS extra for a Directstream DAC sans the card. The DAC is great. You can plug anything into it. The only HiFi Rose I have stopped working they will ...

PS Audio Gain Cell DAC/preamp--- Still relevant?
I got a second E50 for my PC in DAC mode to replace a Schiit that FAILED. An iFI iPurifier2 in front of it to galvanically isolate works wonders; going balanced into a PA5 amp. First I tried a D10s but found that I needed the RC volume control.    
PS Audio Gain Cell DAC/preamp--- Still relevant?
I didn’t care for it when new, I had a Bluesound going SPDIF into the DAC. Only slightly better SQ. Promptly got a Directstream DAC. Night and day. Then I traded for a pre with RC tape and processor loops. IMHO this $199 DAC sounds better (to me... 
Add a Linear power supply or iFi SPDIF Purifier2?
It "should" sound better than SMPS. I have gone that route. But do compare by listening. I do have the SPDIF Purifier2. It made a big improvement in clarity. And it has an Toslink tap on the side for a second output. Of the two choices I believe ...

Sounds about right.
