Great sounding/recorded albums
If you're hearing a lot of fake electronic drums my guess is not a lot of Davis, Mingus, or even Coltrane playing at your place. So what kind of music are you looking for anyway?  
Turntable newbie info site?
The best way to save money is to spend time. So you are off to a good start. Go and listen to as many rigs as you can. Getting good LP playback everything matters. So pay attention to every detail in the chain of everything you try- table, arm, ca... 
Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad
mijostyn Balanced ins and outs let you use long low level signal cables without ill effect. The ill effect is the money the really long wire costs is money that can't be spent on a shorter interconnect that sounds a lot better.  
LP12- Power Supply- Need education
Suspended tables like the Linn are not my cup of tea. Not at all.But you didn't ask that. You asked how a turntable motor power supply can make it sound better. Actually quite easy to answer. Should not even be all that hard to understand.Its real... 
Speaker level EQ
Its called a Line Out Converter. Couple resistors in a simple circuit, typically about a 10k Ohm resistor that drops speaker voltage down to line voltage, and another roughly 1k resistor that provides some load. You could build one yourself like I... 
AC Dedicated Line
Yes it would be hard the normal way, pulled through holes drilled in studs. Would also use more wire. Mine is hung under the floor in almost a straight line and through just two holes, one at either end. Current definitely does drop with load. I d... 
Swapped long wall to short wall and now I am having some big issues
The most effective way I know to treat a room is the four triangular corners where the ceiling meets the walls first, followed by the vertical corners where the walls come together.The treatment is standard acoustically transparent fabric (like sp... 
AC Dedicated Line
Its a common misconception, that the big benefit of the dedicated line is current. It sure does not seem that way to me. And I think I've done the comparisons that would show this to be the case if it were.Originally, thanks to my electrician/cont... 
Chinese fake cables How fake, how good?

Magnepans or...Martin Logan
Have to agree, and with two people I seldom agree with at that, but given where you are and all its just not wise to even be considering either of these speakers.In addition to everything cleeds and elizabeth said above you have the additional pro... 
AC Dedicated Line
plga I just measured last week my system and the subs consumption and, even at loud volume, more than what I hear normally, my system didnt consumed more than 1 amp and neither did the subs.At first I thought the meter was wrong, but then I rememb... 
FAST, LOW RESONANCE subwoofer to go with Dynaudio Confidence 5?
State of the Art bass costs only about $3k. Or less. This does however call for a little outside the box thinking and learning to understand that four of just about any sub beats one of just about any sub. Hands down. No contest.

24K gold? It depends somewhat on if it really is gold, and if it is just gold or if there's a clear coat.If you're not sure and can't find out then use the conservative approach one would use for cleaning and bringing original gloss back to automo...

Have you been surprised by power cable changes? s
Has anybody tried to “reverse” ICs or speaker cables to see if you can identify a difference? Why don't you just try it and hear for yourself?
