I had another Pioneer RT for years back in the day. Heads, caps and pinch rollers are exactly what you want to see maintained. If it weren't for the impending zombie apocalypse I would be trying to talk you out of it in order to steal it out from ... 
Active line level crossover with subwoofer out - HELP

Where to Connect a Phono Preamplifier into a Line Stage
Having looked at the OP's system, from what I can see on the manufacturer's (Odyssey) website there does not appear to be any distinction made among the analog inputs, so, unless the owner's manual has any suggestions, I'd think in this case ... 
Room Treatment

Bose 901
Right. Which is a problem by the way, and not a plus. Picking a Bose apart by audiophile standards is shooting ducks in a barrel- and a frozen barrel at that. Anyone one week beyond audio-noob can see they’re all so flawed the biggest problem is w...
