Surprising Backing Bands
I just picked up a John Entwistle LP "Whistle Rhymes" which has Peter Frampton doing the bulk of the guitsr work. 
Power Conditioners Recommendations
I was talking about analog. I have two dedicated lines (cost about $300 for both) and Furtech outlets. Both my vintage integrated and TT go into the Brickwall.

I'm in the dedicated and Brickwall camp. 
How much fluid do you guys use?
I put mine in a spray bottle and use 4-5 sprays as the lp goes around on the 16.5. 
It is 5 AM, Do you Know where Mikey Fremer is?
I wish I had LP-laden garage sales to go to. My area has 3-4 used LP shops. One, used to be reasonably priced. However, one came in with the 410, $15, $20 and all the other shops raised their prices accordingly. I still get a small discount for be... 
Record mats for vintage tts
I have had two different Herbie's mats on two different TTs. A standard Herbie's replaced the felt mat on an older LP12 and his thickest mat has now replaced a rubber mat on my LT-30. I just picked up (here on Audiogon) a vintage (year not use) EO... 
Vintage integrated Amps. What to look for?
My main system comprises a Mitsubishi LT-30 TT and an upgraded Sansui AU D11 with MAC Ultra Silver+ cables between them. Audiogon member "Ezekiel" aka Randy Young is who I've purchsed a few cupgraded vintage items from and have always been more th... 
Any audiophile who is on blood pressure medication
I'm on Lotrel 2x daily (plus Clonidine at night to help with sleep). I also stepped up my exercise to daily (sometimes twice, before breakfast/before dinner) and increased my garlic intake. My HBP is under control now. Best of luck and stay healthy. 
How do you level your turntable?
I have a linear TT (LT-30) and am another who uses the Sears $25 digital laser level. 
Surge Protection Only
Brickwall. I use the PW2RAUD from dedicated circuits. Here in the Midwest, when thunderstorms make the lights flicker, my analog systems continues to play without a hitch. I have both a high-current integrated and the TT plugged into it. It also s... 
Speaker Isolation
I use Herbie's big fat dots under my floorstanding Kirksaeters on a hardwood floor. The speakers don't come with spikes and I didn't want to drill holes for them. The dots provide excellent isolation and clarity to the sound. 
why sound is so different?
I own an LT-30 and use it daily. Email me if you want and we'll talk. 
Silver IC cable between Phono and Preamp
One last time trying to get it right. If you're looking for a terrific silver I/C at a great price, contact Steve @ My Audio Cables. He'll have what you want and You'll also enjoy dealing with him. It's a 10 day wait for the cables, but well worth... 
Silver IC cable between Phono and Preamp
Sorry, I misread your post and answered about the wrong connection. As far as general I/C's go, I'm also a fan of Vampire Wire. The AI-II would serve your purposes as they are quite neutral with excellent tonality. 
Silver IC cable between Phono and Preamp
I've gone from really good contnuous cast copper to silver plated copper to okay silver to very good silver from my TT to the phono stage. What I learned was that the smaller the guage of wire (and also less wires), the less smearing I encountered...
