NAD 316 And Spade Terminals
Unscrew by hand the output post (might be a little tight) and slide the spade fork onto the now-exposed metal spindle. Then re-tighten the post. Ensure the spades don’t touch each other on other posts.

Are their margins that tight that they skimp on 5c screws? Looks poor and reflects badly on their aesthetic sensibility and pride of workmanship.

The sound of course. The music is just along for the ride.

Pollution - S/T (Prophesy 1971)@tomic601 Interesting. It's not something I'd buy. However, I like it. It's almost like Janis met Jesus. Gospel jazz funk! Recording is a tiny little bit tight and dry. NM and clean. Nice. 
rule of thumb: how long do you leave a tube preamp on versus turning it off then back on?
20 minutes warm up for me including turntable does the trick. But, it all sounds so much better after about 6 hours. Turn off when done. Best not to leave powered up tube gear unattended.

@slaw Trying out the Noteworthy against my trusty low-rent Belkin AV20302-06 ICs. They’re inexpensive but transparent, fast, and do not roll off the highs. The Noteworthy’s have more musicality and deeper (huge) soundstage, more color, a reduction...

Agree with MC. Unfortunately, OP has WAF issue.

@slaw @boxer12 Sorry to hear of your wife's illness.I have a pair of Tim's ICs. I've no idea of their price point but they sound very nice.
