I have a weird buzz issue; can you help me solve the problem?
Plug the CSiB directly to the mains without any conditioner, and only connect the outputs to speakers, no connection to any input, the buzz still remains if bias is on?

2 amplifiers connected to 1 set of speakers
@b_limo That is one of the few units I custom built for my friend to demo amplifiers in his shop for his customers and his audio club. His customers usually don't had time to wait an hours or two for setting up and compare tube amps, so these sele... 
2 amplifiers connected to 1 set of speakers
Most (not all) SS amplifier has relay at the output for delay turn-on and protection. If both tube amp and SS amp are connected to the speaker and only the tube amp is on, it will do no harm to both amp because the SS amp output stage is disconne...

Instead of swapping cables, I think using a high quality amplifier selector is a safer way to switching amplifiers. http://www.beresford.me/S/home_htm_files/TC-7220MKII.pdf 
Jelco tonearms closes
Compare to other tonearms in the market, I think Jelco priced too low to survive.   
What are small gold colored "caps" that came in bag with perfect path products?

I was surprised to find they worked even on a CD player that I never use. In other words the CD player is connected to the system, but not selected, and yet listening to the turntable the sound was better with these things on the CDP! ??? 
Soundbar to subwoofer hookup
I was wondering how I could connect a 3.5mm out on a soundbar to a subwoofer? You need to find out the 3.5mm jack on the soundbar is a output or a input jack. https://www.polkaudio.com/products/magnifi/support 
How many people here generally buy used?
Used if I can't afford or justify new price... 
Recommendations for a stereo power amp with a XLR/RCA input switch around $2k
Some power amp has input switch/selector on front panel. https://img.usaudiomart.com/uploads/large/1099606-c49d8f53-accuphase-p350-power-amplifier.jpg https://img.canuckaudiomart.com/uploads/large/2294686-26b187c6-accuphase-a46-power-amp.jpg http... 
Voltage conversion of Accuphase A-48
I tried to pull out all transformer primary winding wires from the quick connect terminals, but I could not pull them out since they are pushed into very tightly. Is there any way to pull them out easily? Or is it ok to pull them more strongly... 
Unusual(?) spade connection
@hleeid, glad it worked out ... thanks for letting us know.  
Mark Levinson - what have I bought?
Is it a complete and working unit or just a chassis with missing parts?  
Odd "leftover" cables...
