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 
Breaking In New Speakers...
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?

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...

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. 
Help Can I use an AES/EBU cable as analog?
Yes you can. Most, if not all AES/EBU cables are 110 ohm. It should be okay, but probably not the "best" choice. It won't hurt anything. 
I have two B&K ST 140s that I'd like to bridge
You can't "bridge" these amps. You can send them back to B&K and they can convert them to MONO amps. You could use one channel of one amp on one speaker, but it won't change the power rating. If your speakers are bi-wireable, you could run the...

Turntable set up HELP
Maybe the counterweight is hitting something on the back of the arm? If it's close to the pivot point, it could be bumping the back of the arm or the lift mechanism or the anti-skate assembly or the mounting base?
