Can AVR DC Output at Preamp Outs be Increased?
I understand you are now talking about dynamic range, a completely new subject. What I do not understand is how you think more voltage is going to increase dynamic range?  
Subwoofer connection conundrum
The blue. Well that clears it up. Without pronouncing or understanding the newfangled technology, can you type the letters? 
Tonearm and Anti Skate Question
The inside area where your arm is skipping is called the lead-out groove. If the arm is jumping out of the groove and skipping out that is too much anti-skate, no matter what anyone says. It is normal for anti-skate to pull the arm out a bit when ... 
Less than satisfying sound with non-audiophile recordings
People get on my case all the time for recommending certain things, but they never mention how it always turns out the stuff I recommend does indeed always sound good. The system you have, all I can say, not one thing I would ever recommend. Quite... 
Poor grammar is disappointing and decidedly distracting in formal audio reviews.
Gregg's Grammar is great and germane if it does diminish disappointing and decidedly distracting writing, but what about annoying aggravating almost as awful alliteration? 
Can AVR DC Output at Preamp Outs be Increased?
I am confused by the lack of comprehension regarding my question.Well first you asked about DC, which is nothing to do with anything here. Then you asked about voltage, with no reason, at least none anyone can understand. The AR preamp is capable ... 
Subwoofer connection conundrum
You can run the subs unbalanced RCA no problem. You can also run the off the speaker outs on the power amps, but in this case you will need a Line Out Converter to drop the voltage down from speaker level to line level. Sub interconnects do not ne... 
two problems with turntable
Probably they replaced the broken clip with a new one and between the new clip and moving it on and off this connection is better now and this could be what accounts for your other channel being down in level. You can try removing the clip, cleani... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
Two aspects of human hearing that may or may not shed light on this.   One, really low bass is non-directional. We sense almost nothing but volume. It is for all intents and purposes mono. Yet mono always sounds like it is coming from right betwee... 
Turntable Resonance Fix
Yeah, I had a Technics SL1700 I thought was dead quiet, until years later using it with my by then much improved system it was easy to hear bearing rumble. One way to tell, if it is bearing rumble it will be more audible at the outer edge because ... 
Clean AC power
vgizzi, steakster has a great overview above. The only quibble I have is the main improvement we get with a dedicated line is nothing to do with isolation, it is all from the wire running continuous. Most circuits are run outlet to outlet, with ea... 
Turntable Resonance Fix
The first, simplest and cheapest thing to try is Nobsound springs. One set for $30 (or less, shop around) and if this doesn't eliminate your rumble then it is probably the bearing. Assuming it is not the bearing then this will work and when you he... 
Vintage vs New
Depends what you mean by vintage. If ten years old is vintage then okay, there are some things from a decade ago that are still pretty good. Ten years to me is used, not vintage. Go back 30 years to the 1990's, now it gets a lot harder. Maybe a fe... 
New edition of Harley's guide on the way
Frankly my first edition has more than enough to recommend as essential reading. Every once in a while I pull it out to check something and it is always impressive how much of what people still mess around with today was clearly explained by RH 30... 
My Apologies to Miller Carbon
