BEST little know Jazz Album that you ever heard?
To me it was little known,  "The Trio" Peterson, Pass, Pedersen  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Three Blind Mice Japanese Jazz sampler.  
Old records.
Or, send a few of the worst ones to a record cleaning service and see if that makes a difference.

Just use some audio intelligent solutions one step No. 6 and a vacuum record cleaner.  With 3000 records, I would think even with a bad stylus rotating through records would take quite some time for a bad stylus to do terrible damage.  
what amplification are you running with your Dynaudio Heritage Specials?
I’m happy with an ARC VSi75 and a REL sub.  For solid state, I use a Hegel H190 which sounds very nice.  I didn’t need the power of upper level Hegels.  
Getting Back In - But Doing it Sanely
I'm liking a Hegel H190 at the moment.  However, a ARC I-50 for tubes would also be sweet.  For tubes I use a ARC VSi75.  
Hegel H190 $2800
They are on sale now for that price.  
speakers for small room
I second the Dynaudio Heritage Specials.  For those who say they need a lot of power, I have not found that to be accurate.  I power them with a ARC VSi75 and find that to be plenty.

+1 on the Tom and Kathleen Waits reissues.  They are superb.  
Anyone tired a Nordost QB4 MK III?
Can't wait for the update, thanks.

Look no further.  ARC Vsi 75. 👍

And, I believe everything I read.

Thanks for the recommendation of the Niagara 1200.

Thought about a dedicated line,  but don’t think I want to go that route.
