What phono pre am I looking for?
@jmolsberg P75 is a toy based on National’s data sheet for LT1115 OP amp. I think you’re looking for something way beyond that. 
Why are my woofers pumping?
This has to be the most ridiculous thread on Audiogon at the moment. Everything and all of it. OP, I told you it’s a problem YOU can’t solve. Just enjoy the music. Some of these things are just part of vinyl. Many comments here have crossed the li... 
What phono pre am I looking for?
Maybe having tubes somewhere in the chain is a good thing, but when it comes to phono, solid state is the way to go. 
What phono pre am I looking for?
@jmolsberg Definite not thin. Instead of Jr., look for a used JC3. It's in a different league. Significantly better power supply, better chassis and shielding, it even has power factor correction built in. No other phono does this that I know of.  
What phono pre am I looking for?
@helomech Both are very different sounding preamps, but yes, it absolutely does. Micromega is pure magic. How they’re able to do this for under $300 is a complete mystery. MyGroov is the most 3D vibrant phono stage I’ve ever heard. It’s as if the ...

Gyro SE. Is it even a question? 
Cartridge or Pre Amp
100K loading on most MM cartridges will create a very large peak around 10kHz. And possibly a small reduction throughout the midrange. In a fake way, this can make an MM cartridge sound more like MC. But is that really what you want? There are thr... 
New Dynaudio Confidence 50 and 60
Will these new speakers have time compensated 1st order acoustic crossovers? If not, then GTFO! 
Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF?
Yes it would.  
What is the typical resistance across the various terminals of a MC phono cartridge?
OP, you haven't the slightest clue in what you're doing. Please stop immediately and put the Ohm meter away. Your cartridge is fine.  
Please evaluate my system...
If I was to improve that setup, it would definitely be the front end. Michell Gyro SELyra DelosParasound JC3+Denon cartridge and Linn Linto are the weak links by far.  
Replacing Lyra Kleos at end of its life need suggestions as to what next?
Lyra has a fantastic customer service. $2100 for what will be a new cartridge is a great deal. I ask again, what is there to even think about?
