Stuck at home? Make a kit!!
Got kids at home you need project ideas for? Just keep the solder fumes out of their faces, and use lead free. :) No kid at home? Make one! No tools required. :) 
Question re: Phono stage gain and possible new integrated
Or will this be too much for the LFD’s gain? My Hana is rated at 2.5 mV. If your Hana is a high output MC, you should use the MM setting 39dB gain on your LFD. 
Cart match for sony pua-114 tonearm
Between Denon dl-103 or dl-301, I will go for dl-301. Dl-103 need a heavy arm to sounds its best.

Why the woofer moves badly when playing certain LPs
If AT’s compliance is 10cu @ 100Hz you have to convert it first to 10Hz and it will be about 17cu @ 10Hz (Mid Compliance). I just estimate and simply doubled it to 20 @ 10Hz for calculation. Resonance frequency within 7-12Hz is optimal for t...

Infinity Kappa 9, manual request.

Voltage question
Just to give you all some idea how absurd it is to think a few volts matters, I once ran a lithotripsy machine designed for 240 on 120. For you mathlexic types that's like half the voltage. That's a complex and highly computerized machine that...

Adding a preamp to HT setup
Could you mean the switch on the amps input? Yes, do not let HT passthrough limiting your preamp choice, a simple line level A/B selector on the power amp input can get the job done. HT AVR pre-out                                         -------&g...
