The formula for parallel resistance is 1/Rt= 1/R1+1/R2+1/R3....   https://www.electronics-notes.com/articles/basic_concepts/resistance/resistors-in-series-parallel.ph...Since he measured almost 8 ohms then the total resistance will be 1/8 ohm + ... 
Replacement capacitors exploding
@rodman99999 Thank you for the link. @fiesta75 No apology necessary, your earlier post lead me to these two document from cornell-dubilier and caused the confusion: http://wiki.ece.rose-hulman.edu/herniter/images/0/03/Aluminum-Electrolytic_Capacit... 
Replacement capacitors exploding
@cakyol, I totally agree film cap is the better choice on speaker crossover, what confused me is if using two same-value aluminum electrolytic capacitors connected in series back-to-back, the capacitance is equal to either of the original pair ...

step up transformer noise
Is it better to position a step up transformer near the phonostage or near the turntable to prevent issues with hum? Are you talking about moving coil cartridge SUT? https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/where-to-insert-the-step-up-transforme... 
What’s the relationship between gain (dB) and power (watts)?
The gain switch is a nice feature on the power amp, 23dB of gain can give most active preamp better range of volume control, but passive preamp might need 29dB gain to drive the amp to full power. Why not call Bryston to get the answer? 
What’s the relationship between gain (dB) and power (watts)?
If the amp is rated 300Watt at 8Ω, gain set to 23dB, the amplifier need 3.5Volt input signal in order to output 300Watt at 8Ω, If the gain set to 29dB, the amplifier need 1.75Volt input to output 300Watt at 8Ω. Its depends on the max. output vo... 
Cut lower frequency to help my bookshelf speakers
For example if i use a minidsp 2x4 in the between the audio research and levinson... will it work or not? Yes, that will work! Your dynaudio special 25 can play louder and cleaner with the help of a high pass filter. The svs 1000 can go up to... 
can any stereo receiver be turned to mono?
If what you want is a stereo/mono switch to summing the stereo signal to mono, insert this circuit to tape-monitor loop, the tape-monitor button will become a stereo/mono switch. https://www.vinylengine.com/turntable_forum/download/file.php?id=116... 
Only Buzzing Output Through Speakers
Could be the stereo/mono switch with dirty contacts, switch it a few times might clean the contacts. 
Teres Audio motor help!
If the controller led stay red and can’t turn to green, first thing to check is the spindle shaft oil well, clean up the old oil and put in automatic transmission fluid for the bearing.
