A 60 year old turntable design is still going strong!
I am not that familiar with AR, certainly not this one, just studying the exploded diagram on the video. https://youtu.be/NOlhiZ902hY?t=25   It is not shown on the diagram but he explains that it is "suspended from the top plate" which is another ... 
Wait time after record cleaning
By the time it gets to the platter it is ready to play.   It is fun however to imagine someone trying to figure this all out. What would they do? Clean, then play immediately. Clean again, wait 5 minutes. Clean again wait an hour. Clean again wait... 
Speakers for triode tube amps
Funny, to me Tekton sound like real music, and it is other speakers that sound like a hi-fi. 
TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS
Origin Live Sovereign MkIV, designed and built in the UK by Mark Baker.   Mark is by profession an engineer. He started building his reputation modifying Rega tone arms, before growing into designing and building his own Origin Live arms and table...

The power cord looks really cheap for such a quality amp. A polarized 2 prong male end to plug into the wall and only 2 prongs on the amp. What can I replace this with and not be unsafe? Seems all aftermarket power cables have 3 prongs.There i...

Thanks. Not only my Teres either. It started with a Technics SL1700, then Basis 2005. The Basis used belt drive with the motor in a pod along side. This enabled a few different mods, first adding a better power cord to the Basis motor, then replac... 
Subwoofer volume vastly different based on amp. Why?
Then you have a problem with certain sources not having enough output voltage to drive the sub to the level you want. You simply need more input voltage. The cheapest, easiest, and most sure-fire solution is called a Line Out Converter or LOC. The... 
Bad recordings and high end audio
There is an awful lot going on here that people are missing. Allow me to enlighten you.   Recording: this is the master tape. People are saying a recording sounds this or that when all they know is how their copy of a record sounds on whatever the... 
OK, so I have to ask. Is this real, or is this a joke?
Welcome to Audiogon. If you find this strange, you don't know the half of it. 
Clean ground
First no, none of them require earth ground. They have the third ground but not a one of them requires it. In fact they will as you already seem to understand only be noisier if connected to another wire going to ground.   Matter of fact, Mike Smi... 
TEKTON IMPACT MONITORS
it was advertised as better than any audio show. No, it was reviewed as better. Reading comprehension. Again. 
Cost of Features - Extra's
Is there even such a thing as a feature with a cost?

This design that he talks about, mounting the bearing and arm on the same beam, is used on Origin Live turntables like my Sovereign MkIV. https://youtu.be/8ZkOzh9GFHk?t=5   Follow the video as it goes around the turntable. The bearing and arm are ... 
Subwoofer volume vastly different based on amp. Why?
The "solution" is what you are doing: turn the dial. Maybe you are thinking the position of the knob matters? It doesn't.
