DIY interconnect just arrived ~~navships~~, true High Fidelity
Right. I'm gonna go without my awesome system transforming Synergistic Euphoria for a couple weeks for the satisfaction of making you eat your words. Good one. Imagine for just one minute and for the sake of the argument that you are correct. You ... 
Cueing issue
Is the arm lift going low enough for all records? If not the lifter can usually be adjusted with a tiny little allen wrench. 
Cartridge Change
Not the kind of thing I would ever do. My approach has always been to never bother buying anything I don't think will make me happy for a good long time. Years. Because years of use takes the sting of depreciation loss right out of the picture. Ca... 
How to select a good Speaker Cable
So, instead of asking: which of two brands, or two prices or two colors of Speaker Cable do I need, you should ask how thick of a Speaker Cable do I need. This is right out of Stereo Review circa 1970. Awful long time to still be fanning the flam... 
signs that tubes need to be replaced
No, there really is no reliable way of telling in advance. If the tubes are used a very long time they can sometimes simply get weaker. Dynamics and extension suffer. But these changes can be so small and gradual over such a long period of time yo... 
TT Decisions, decisions...
I too am confused. Are you silver? Or gold?I'm not really in the market for a new table but if I were from what I know right now the strongest contender would probably be the Onkk Cue. 
120v vs 240v
All US panels are already 240V, so there is no need to change a panel, unless you are doing a whole lot more than adding a couple amps. I had no problem adding 9 bitcoin miners to mine, and that was a continuous 70A load. Continuous. Cannot even i... 
JBL 4367 shoutiness remedies?
Deckhand, when you get done reading all the other things it cannot be I sure hope you will try the corner tunes. It will ameliorate, and maybe even totally eliminate, your problem. 
Tekton Lore speaker cable question
They will be fine. The last thing you want to do is try cables and buy based on how they sound with speakers you know are about to be replaced with better speakers. Unless you get lucky and find Lore Reference in stock they are probably at least a... 
Why don't speaker mfg list amps and associated equip they use to " voice " their sound?
Why stop there? Why not have them list all the cones and footers and shelves, room dimensions and acoustic treatments, speaker locations and listening positions, on a spreadsheet showing day to day so we know exactly what was the setup when each c... 
Solid states more accurate than tubes?
Yeah its a well known fact SS is more accurate. Duh. Just look at the graphs. Tubes are expensive fancy short-lived tone controls. The warmth is all distortion anyway. Probably a few more cliches I left out but that should cover it.  
Estate Sales
I’ve  read about LP guys who pick up great albums, old classics , etc  at an Estate SalesYeah because when you find a record actually worth buying at an estate sale its so astronomically unlikely you just have to brag about it.  
Companies that repair/refinish speaker cabinets?
Any woodworker or cabinet shop. Its all veneer. There's no difference. 
Very best sounding Vinyl
Super Hot is the lowest level of Hot Stampers. The thing about vinyl, quality does vary from copy to copy. There'e nothing magical about a Hot Stamper. They do after all come from the same pool of records as everyone else has. So odds are any give... 
Can anything be down about this? There must be an agenda!
A secret meeting was held on Jeckyl Island in which the titans of the music industry agreed to keep secret the details of how to make perfect digital. They all knew the key to long term profits was to slowly and gradually year by year go from abso...
