Zu def 4 are they the best speaker made?
I have heard a few ZU speakers in my audio lifetime and I would say that to me  they are forward sounding and bright. Not for me. Same here.  I've known Sean for a long time and think he's a brilliant designer and a wonderful guy.  I have just... 
Two preamps are available....
Sorry, but I'm going to jump in here again.  I was in the high-end audio business for over 25 years.  Not once did I ever send a "demo" unit back to the manufacturer, (unless there was an upgrade to the model).  We always sold our demo units at a ... 
Is the upgrade from Scout 1.1 to the Prime worth it?
I went from the original Scout to a Prime with no regrets. Every aspect of the sound is better. +1 
I need help getting this all to work?
most device makers support Mac, and not Android. Really?  I've had at least a dozen different music servers/streamers through here and the only one that didn't support Android was the Auralic. 
Subwoofer cable
Audioquest also makes several nice inexpensive sub cables. It’s been my vast experience, (not sure about everyone else), that sub cables are really hard to hear a difference with. I’ve tried cables up to $500 and it sounded the same as a $25 cable...

@gerryn...if it's a McIntosh, then rest assured it was completely gone through and made like new.  McIntosh is a very obsessive company when it comes to their products.  One of the best out there as a matter of fact.

Nothing special. @inna...let's see you do it.  Nothing special?  Get a clue.

The "factory refurbished" really doesn’t mean anything. They usually just do a full test and don’t repair anything. Sorry, that’s not entirely true. It depends on the manufacturer and what was originally wrong with the unit. I sold hundreds of B-...

Which Mid Level Turntables Ship Well and Are Foolproof?
Project 25th Anniversary Classic That was going to be my second recommendation.  Sweet table, but it is a sprung design and not quite as "foolproof" as the Rega.  Also, a little out of the OP's price range...but still a GREAT table! 
Which Mid Level Turntables Ship Well and Are Foolproof?
Rega Planar 3 (new model).  I've setup several of these new models and have been VERY impressed.  New, these are only $945, used I've seen them around $700 or so.  Sweet table and covers all of your parameters.

Al, it was Gayle that had the stroke. Here is the legacy from the website:http://www.nittygrittyinc.com/legacy.htm 
Cartridge with broken coil wire
I don't think Peter, (SoundSmith) does coil repair. I thought these guys do, but now i'm not sure:http://phonocartridgeretipping.com/service-phono.htmlI've used both and had fantastic luck with each. 
McCormack DNA 500 loud hum
I also recommend calling or emailing Steve, (he's actually on here sometimes).  I've known Steve since way back in the Mod Squad days.  He's a great guy and wouldn't design a product that had problems.  I think it might be something else within th... 
More crazy audio tweaks?
The artwork is very pretty, but come on...they're rocks.
