Vintage and modern hookups
I used a Phillips RV450 Surround Processor thru the tape loop with a Sansui integrated years ago and it worked great. It has it’s own speaker terminals. There are a couple on eBay right right now for cheap. Assuming you are looking for surround so...

I'd like to toss in.........Wishbone Ash - Live DatesWings - Wings over AmericaRush -All The World's a StageLittle Feat - Waiting for Columbus 
Reputable restorer for vintage integrated amp
Stereo Rehab in Chicago. Reliable and honest evaluation prior to committing any $$$. Reasonable and fairly quick turnaround. Unfortunately a long haul from KC. Not sure if you could ship to them but it may be worth a phone call.  https://stereore... 
Wow an old album that rocked your world
Fleetwood Mac - Then Play On - after many years on the shelf it's crept back into a fairly regular rotation. Great stuff! 
Most recordings you own by a single artist, group, or composer
Interesting subject since I just recently finished archiving proper releases in my collection to Discogs.Guided by Voices / Robert Pollard is by far the most densely populated.  The collection, including all of Pollard's side projects accounts for... 
Competent electronics tech in the Milwaukee area
110% agree with bgoeller. Just recently picked up a Sansui AU7700 that Casper and Nate at Stereo Rehab bought back to life for me. Cool little studio/shop on the northwest side of Chicago. Should be an easy commute from Milwaukee.  
Chicago-area dealer recommendation
Music Direct. Known more as a mail order business but they have a couple of showrooms in their new facility on the north side of Chicago. Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great place to shop for new and used LP's also.  
Top ten American composers/songwriters
Robert Ellsworth Pollard at the top of the list.

Balanced to RCA
Ghentaudio manufactures nearly every possible configuration of cable you can imagine. Decent quality and great service. I have 2 pairs of RCA to female XLR , one going from DAT player/recorder and the other from a CD burner to a Schitt Freya pream... 
Beginner Audiophile. How to chose a right amp? Recommendation for my setup?
I'd probably try some of this Schiit.......... https://www.schiit.com/products/aegir I have a Freya pre and a couple of Modi DAC's.Great schiit for the money. 
Best father daughter dance song for wedding? Not Butterfly Kisses...
She's Mine - George Jones - my middle daughter was married less than two months after the Possum passed. Knowing my and her Papa's love for country music, especially George, she chose this song and totally stunned us and our reception audience. Go... 
Looking for inexpensive preamp
I second the Schiit Freya with upgraded tubes. It's a no-brainer for the money.  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
@slaw Ahh..finally sitting down for the the evening and yes I do have the ROG Lunafied. Great stuff! np: Fleetwood Mac - Kiln House - from the 4lp box set which is remarkabley well done.  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Thanks @slaw High time y’all check out the genius of Dean Wareham’s Galaxy 500 and current band Luna. Some of the best music to come out of the late 80’s and 90’s in my mind. NP- Dire Straits - Brother In Arms - 45 RPM Mofi and pretty well done!
