They know we will pay anything they can think of
Jay’s Audio Lab bought and reviewed the $68K Gryphon two-chassis preamp.Using the industry standard of 1/5 the MSRP for cost to build that leaves a heck of a profit to be shared between manufacturer and dealer!  
Question about suitable fuse metals
Put the fuses back! They have zero effect upon sound quality despite what the obsessed claim!  
Question about suitable fuse metals
No risk except your DAC catching fire! Fuses are there to protect your components. Why would you do such a stupid thing bypassing fuses?   
leben cs600 + shindo aurieges
Preamps with a "tape out" bypass the volume and tone controls. You are stuck with the Shindo volume control. The Chord DAC will sound the best if it only goes through the Leben line stage - input 2.   
Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
Get a more recent sub.  
leben cs600 + shindo aurieges
I can understand wanting to use the Shindo phono stage into the Leben. But why not just connect the Chord DAC into Line 2 of the Leben? No need to put it through two line stages!  
leben cs600 + shindo aurieges
Line 1 on the Leben is the line stage. Use that for the Shindo. Does the Shindo have "tape out"?  If so, use that into Line 1 because it bypasses the Shindo volume control. If not, then set the Shindo volume control at 12 O'Clock. You can then rai... 
1954 Klipschorn Sound Reproducer value???
A single speaker is almost worthless unless you just want to listen only to mono recordings like old Blues 78's or pre- 1959 LP'S.  
Technics 1200 MK3D
It’s an excellent turntable. I have one in my collection. For an alternate choice the Pioneer PLX1000 is an easy recommendation ($700). I have one set up with two cartridges on separate headshells: a Denon 103R and a Grado G1+. Herb Reichert gave ... 
Would you choose 1 ou 2 subwoofers for a stereo set?
Two subs are better because they can distribute bass frequencies better throughout a room for a more even response than a single sub.  
Baach dsp, true stereo?
Let's not forget the Sonic Hologram option Bob Carver added to some of his Phase Linear and Carver preamps/CD players.  
Baach dsp, true stereo?
Why not do the opposite? The APT Holman preamp had a "blend" control to mix the L + R channels. This would be beneficial for early stereo recordings which had excessive LR panning between channels.  
Oracle CD2500 MKI
$2K is probably a more realistic price. It's a buyer's market.  
era mk 6 c off and on by pass ?
On my second Ariston I didn't have a spare switch so I did the switch bypass and used a power strip for on/off.  
era mk 6 c off and on by pass ?
Why not just buy a new switch? I did that for my Ariston. Yes, you can bypass the switch with a bit of soldering. Then use a power strip with an on/off switch. If you do that use electric tape on the switch to prevent contact with the metal chassis.
