Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
It's pretty logical and simple: Before the digital technology all recording engineeres needed is enough space and recording speed to place every detail of the live music onto the tape. Thus, 2ch recorders benefit with channel separation and amount...

DVD Audio for 2-channel systems???
I believe that at least you have to have one more center channel to reproduce DVD-audio otherwise voice will not be clear. 
Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
I should add that in many cases mono has better fidelity than stereo 2ch. I do collect old mono records for their outstanding sound quality of the golden era. 
Lyra Lydian Beta, Rega hum?
David, i've never told that the hum is from the table. There shouldn't be any grounding problems with RB300 either except when there are some manufacturing deffects.The first party to call should be Immedia to report a problem with the cartridge.B... 
Old ARC tube amps
I think that you'd be better of with old Mac stuff rather than ARC.IMHO I was not impressed with vintage ARC amps at all.

7500 for USED cables? Are they joking?
By default components shouldn't be a cable-sencitive at all but there again plays the marketing side.Some of the manufacturers will advice you to use only audiophile grade cables and some are fine with pro-grade or even RadioShack. 
Lyra Lydian Beta, Rega hum?
...ain't rock-n-roll only in the world David, but for even listening to Metallica I would bet more on Basis1400.

Any cheap silver cables for Talon Khorus?
I'm the Van Den Hul fan since they give you a possibility to get unterminated wire that you can use as a realy great cable. If you visit their website wwww.vandenhul.com you will find a huge chart of wires or just by simply calling them you will g... 
Lyra Lydian Beta, Rega hum?
The only thing that left for you to do is to contact Immedia and report that problem. It might be a problem with cartridge internal wiring. BTW Rega turntable is a big compromise for Lyra but it shouldn't hum. Lyra can deliver much more from the B...
