What reviews do you trust if any?
Have you seen some of the pics of the reviewers listening areas? Some look like they live in a broom closet in their mom's basement. 
Bass leaves after amp warms up?
Okay fish, you're a professional musician. You've dismissed all ideas and suggestions out of hand. I guess you're on your own. Good luck and I hope the bass just mysteriously reappears for you. 
Cartridge Advice for 1970s Kenwood TT
Grado or Shure. 
Most expensive piece of vinyl you acquired is?
I considered $100 for an original 'Kiko' from the UK but held off. Now, I'm waiting for the MoFi release.

I finally had a chance to hear Rowland equipment with Avalon speakers. All I was thinking was, 'second mortgage?'.

Power cable for 5 watt SET amp?
I use(d) the MAC HC on my previous Sophia baby and current Sophia EL-34. I'd gone through Shunyata (venom), Soundstring, PS Audio and a xStream Power Master. 
When a Reviewer "likes" something
Vic, I hope not. I'll be 60 in a month, with teenagers, almost 14 & 16. I wish I was long boarding as I was born/raised at the beach in San Diego. I'm not grumpy about my mortality, but I am a dumb ass occasionally. 
When a Reviewer "likes" something
We, 'the elderly', don't have to have a point, since you've dismissed our value.

Hey Vic- "analog-based elderly"? Really? Dumbass. 
My system has a narraw sounstage, lacks dynamics.
How much are you paying us for the jokes we're providing you? 
Phono interconnect under $500 used
One more thing. My current cables use a single wire versus multi strands. This may also affect resolution.
