I'm his fan too, but technically can't consider him blues virtuoso sorry... I can tell he's very pleasant and have lots of spirit, but can't tell he's super-technical. I learned to play blues of his tabs and do not consider him difficult to repeat... 
Pre amp Vs CD/DVD player with output control
I think you can do it much better than anyone who will suggest in this post.From the tech stand point, your amps can be driven with no preamp.BTW how's LS16? doesn't it have too much gain what 'time' of volume control do you normally listen?

turntable motor speed
Increasing voltage will cause the DC motor run faster.It's very important but nevertheless it's a large downside of DC motor that it depends on input voltage. The voltage stabilization circuits should be very precise.There are motors that have qua...
