Katie Melua on LP ? Where to buy ?
Music Direct shows this as available to ship 3-7 days. All the others I looked at were out of stock or didn't stock it.http://www.musicdirect.com/product/78995 
AR XA Assembly Post shipping.
Usually the AR tables have a "lockdown" screw or bolt that locks the suspension down for shipping. You will need to remove this. Also the belt won't ride correctly until you put the platter on the subplatter to offset the weight/height difference ... 
Do amps sound better when left on for 30 minutes ?
It's actually pretty much an industry standard to leave solid state equipment on all the time. The designers say that the "rush" from turning on and off is more detrimental to the equipment. Tube gear, of course, would burn through tubes too often... 
Stevie Wonder-As
Speakers Corner has just re-released "Songs in the Key of Life on 3 disc, 180 gram LPs.It's absolutely "wonder"ful! It's insanely priced at $65.00, but well worth it in my opinion.I kinda forgot all of the great songs he had done...

what is the best Holly Cole CD?
My pick:Don't smoke in Bed followed very closely by Romantically Helpless

Put them face to face, a few inches apart. Wire one out of phase. If you have a test/break in CD, put it on repeat for a few days. Volume should be a little loud, but not enough to get you evicted. 100 hours or so will do the trick. This will driv... 
Bruce at The Super Bowl....
I too, thought it was very good. You could even understand the words. Is it just me or has Bruce developed the "Bob Dylan" syndrome in the last few years? 
AR ES-1 table w/AQ tonearm
Also check out Sound of Wood. They are another top AR modder. 
Jolida JD-9A Phono Stage Hum Problem
If you can touch it and the hum more or less goes away, it's probably a grounding issue near the transformer. It might be a loose ground wire or lug. As mentioned above, try locating the transformer inside the unit and tightening everything around... 
Low cost Amp?
Forte 1A...50 watts of pure, GLORIOUS class A power. I LOVE this amp. They are getting harder to find, but usually sell used for $400-$500. 
Help Can I use an AES/EBU cable as analog?
Kimber Hero with XLR's would be a GREAT sounding, not very expensive cable. You could always get another pair of the Silver Streak. 
Help Can I use an AES/EBU cable as analog?
Any regular interconnect with XLR ends would probably perform better since the AES/EBU is again made for that 110 ohm rating.What are your other interconnects? You might just try the same brand as you have now.
