Hidden Gems in Classic Rock Albums
@jwei. You nailed it... A lot of the comments here sort of miss the mark though... naming things that were huge Whoever mentioned The Kinks gets it but Eagles, Santana...  IDK, maybe it's just the differences in people's ages being revealed...  
My Impossible hum issue.
I noticed you're using the same preamp I have (Parasound P6).  I have likely missed other messages prior to those I just scanned.  Tell me, did you try simply using the phono stage in the P6 rather than your separate phono amp?  No compelling reas... 
Vintage Technics SL-1300 poltergeist--help!
I forgot to return here (OP is me).  In my strange case and video, 3 people minimum did not notice that the Ortofon headshell had a lift arm that protruded higher than the standard Technics headshell.  In fact--that was the problem, full stop.  I ... 
Are Harbeth the only warm and euphonic speakers in town ?
The bookshelf mentioned by The Audiophiliac today may be what the Dr. ordered?    
Are Harbeth the only warm and euphonic speakers in town ?
@smodtactical  I know they are not top-drawer or high dollar speakers BUT I wonder if you might enjoy the new iteration of KLH Model 5.  I have them, Arendal Sound 1763 THX Monitor, Polk LS50 (from the 1990s or 80s), and a pair of the original lar... 
Suggest your most desired MSRP $1,500-$3,000 Stand Mount for a Shootout.
@chorus --if I am one of the posters at which this was targeted... "If you want to explain why you suggested the model that would be lovely!" These have had some strong reports so far such as from Audioholics, are built like tanks, and sound won... 
XLR cables for component connections, or from preamp to powered subwoofer
Thank yous to @erik_squires ​​​​@mike_in_nc  My eyesight, dexterity and confidence rules out doing some things I would have attempted a few years back (such as making my own cables).  Your answers were very helpful--and I had already presumed the...

ADMIN--is it possible to remove this duplicate post.  I need to understand how duplicates happen!  Currently, I'm ignorant of what I did wrong

How many SACD / Blu-ray audio / DVD audio / etc do you own?
Please ignore this post and replay to the other, exact same title  
Sony SACD Player SCD-XA5400ES; YAY or NAY?
@secretguy Sony is still making/selling combo 4K Blu-ray/SACD/etc players--see crutchfield.com  I bought the one with 800 in the model in very late 2020. Frankly, it it was not for one issue on my Blu-ray player and the growing numbers of 4K discs...

Vintage Technics SL-1300 poltergeist--help!
I can't understand why that "channel" exists when I see nothing that interacts with it.  At first, I thought it's there simply to provide better strength or rigidity but that wouldn't dictate the shape of that...???  
Vintage Technics SL-1300 poltergeist--help!
Thanks!  He really never addresses weird channel (or whatever on that plastic gear/cog wheel/whatever...).  I need to go back further than where it started playing for me.  I'd like to see what interacts with that channel, if anything.  There must...
