Vibration Isolation
@lak   I believe that either "Goo Gone" or "Goof Off" should, with some elbow grease help you to get rid of the black marks.   
Anyone use a cartridge demagnetizer?
My Luxman E-250 phono stage includes an "articulator" switch on the faceplate.  It's purpose is to degauss the coils that move (moving coil) in the magnetic field created by the stationary magnets. The idea is that demagnetizing the coils will all... 
Finding the right tube preamp (input values) for Mccormack DNA
@soix I believe you are mistaken.  I asked Steve Mc about input impedance and was told that it remains 100k after his SMc Audio upgrades. 
Audiogon IGNORE Feature
@Elizabeth   When were you diagnosed?🤪 
Best sounding CD (or hi=rez). jazz releases?
Clark Terry "Portraits". SACD.  Music and sound to die for.  Terry's trumpet images to the right of the right speaker!  Great disc to help you assess the quality of your system set-up.  If that trumpet isn't tightly focused and coming from the rig... 
Solid Silver Wire and Logans
I have a friend with M-L Renaissance 15a speakers.  He is using, very successfully, Analysis Plus silver cables.  Very clear and coherent sound. 
Cable recommendation for Krell & Vandersteen

PS Audio Delta 100
You could go on to PS Audio's website and go to "Ask Paul".  Ask Paul McGowan directly.  I feel sure he will answer your question. 
Power Cord Break In
@stereo5   I can empathize.  Distinctly personal scars like that are unfortunately resilient even over the span of many years.  One consequence is that we become hypersensitive to slights especially on places like Audiogon where it is very difficu... 
Power Cord Break In
You're both right! 
Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like
@erik_squires   Methinks you just won BINGO.  I have the Luxman E-250 phono amp. and it doesn't really have an identifiable sonic signature.  Well engineered albums sound beautiful.  Poorly recorded material sounds much less so.  The only adjectiv... 
Bi-Wire with two pairs of speaker cables
Agree with Tomic.  Forget the internal biwire cables. They defeat the main benefit of biwiring. 
Bi-Wire with two pairs of speaker cables
It is actually best to run two identical pairs of cables when biwiring.  I have been doing that for over 30 years with great success.  Before I had a second pair of output jacks on my power amp. I doubled up the spades.  Just tighten the jacks wel... 
BUY Bryston!!!!!
@tomic601   Regarding PS Audio, did you discuss the servicing of the amp with Paul McGowan?  I really doubt that he would decline to work on it. Just isn't how he is.
