My All Time Christmas Song
+1 @thecarpathian Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah this time of year like it’s a holiday/Christmas song. Pure ignorant nonsense! AND If we're including albums, A Charlie Brown Christmas. Absolute staple.

How does sound influence your appreciation?
Good point @slaw. While much of my record library is made up of music I like irrespective of the playback medium, I have grown to accommodate other music ordinarily outside my existing purview now that everything sounds fine on my systems.  
Please talk me out of buying the Avalon Eclipse
$700? Lol. What are you waiting for?  
Why isn’t more detail always better?
Looks like you're having a conversation with yourself.  More detail is the Holy Grail. How that information is presented is where things get tricky.

Is it worth the risk? What if you don't like them? How will you resell them?

Replacement power cabling for old Garrard 301 turntable
I have 3 x 401s and in all of them I do not use a makeoff block or IEC receptacle. Like Glenn’s, the cable simply hangs down from the motor. I do have foam blocks under the cable as it runs off the rack edge.

Have you considered wiring to a makeoff block? That way you can use flexible and thinner insulated but non-sheathed wire from the motor to block.

Yeah, I saw that when he posted it. Lots of tantalums!  
HOW DID YOU END UP WITH YOUR DREAM SYSTEM?
@terry9 Thanks for taking the time to expand a little on your components. I use Vishay VAR in the input of my tube phono stages and agree they are superb. (47k load, 1k stopper)
