Recommendations for MM Phono ~ Tube or Solid State
As Raul pointed out, you seemed delighted with the H6500 barely more than a month ago. What changed? If you can figure that out, it might help in making your next purchase, more than accumulating subjective opinions voiced by strangers on audiophi...

What do the sales data say?  Do Allnic components sell used at a bigger discount off the retail cost, compared to other major high end brands?

You listen to "modern electronic music"? Just kidding. If I lived in rural New Hampshire, I would have a Ducati for sure.  
Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital
No, I think you have a point, and that's why I get aggravated by some who say they don't like jazz but who then cite music or musicians that I don't think of as jazz-y in any sense, as examples.  I must admit my own idea of jazz is fairly parochia...

Here they give the specs for the DH-3P, showing a frequency response pretty flat between 4500 and down -6db at 37kHz. Drops off pretty fast below 4500Hz. For me, the term "midrange" makes me think 500 to 2000Hz. But the definition is plastic.

Why do you say Allnic has poor resale value?  Not based on my perusal of the for sale ads here. I guess it depends upon how you define "poor".

Grisly, I’m sure Paul can play in the jazz idiom, but he’s no “jazz musician”.

Also great Chet Baker recordings on Sam’s Records, in mono, pressed in France. I’ve got at least two, maybe three albums. All make you forget that the signal is mono. Quality of the vinyl is the highest.

I cannot imagine the "open air" approach to buliding a plinth for a 301 would be efficacious, for me at least, because what you want to suppress in a 301 is vibration and motor noise. For that it seems to me you need mass. That’s just my opinion. ...

Coltrane, You wrote, "But as bebop became dominant the majority of listeners were forever lost. I don’t mind, because bebop was a natural step for new jazz. Personally, bebop was a statement by certain musicians who felt disrespected. So they crea...

Not a problem with a single full range driver.

Dear Mijo, You don’t need to teach me about the electronics, and no, I did not own the Parasound amplifiers any longer by the time I upgraded my 845PXs. In fact, my experience with the Parasound JC1s was entirely driving my M1s, which were complet...

Richard, I’m not sure what you’re doing with that plinth, but 301 plinth building is a vast subject. One common solution is to build a plinth out of layers of Baltic birch cut precisely to embrace the working bits as snugly as possible. I am sure ...

Coltrane, perhaps you didn’t mean to infer that bebop is anything other than “jazz”. But if you did, I must protest. Bebop IS and was jazz after WW2, pioneered by Charley Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, and many others. By the mid-50s, bebop... 
Dustcover Blues
Perhaps aerosolized sawdust leaks from your workshop into your listening room. Or perhaps the workshop IS a listening room. In either case, I do understand the obsession with dust covers.
