Need help finding a phono/preamp
Good. Post back with your thoughts.  
I think some cables are just a little too expensive.
I figured we as the fading middle class were the WE. If you are not in the we, you are either a billionaire or wish you were. We as a society allow folks to amass billions while we are taxed into oblivion and the nation crumbles. My conscience won... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Connie Francis ‎– A New Kind Of Connie (MGM 1964)Lovely. Thankfully, the big band stay behind her voice. If only they could have been bumped for a quintet instead.

The Four Brothers – Together Again!(RCA Masters 1970?)1957 jazz recording. Good music. Just not great.  
Looking for a speaker cable with a relaxed sound.
So you’ve all this detail and spent a bunch extracting it. Now you want to dull it back down a little? Try this experiment. Romex 14/2. The white one from Lowes/Depot. Use only the black and white wires.

David "Fathead" Newman Jr. – The Best Of (Atlantic 1971)Pulled from the back as it’s just a compilation. Cleaned and new MoFi sleeve. A pleasant surprise. ’Cool Jazz’, apparently. NM. Clear as a bell, dynamic and no suck.

Roy Eldridge ‎- Little Jazz (Disques Vogue 1962)

Buddy Tate ‎– The Great Buddy Tate (Concord 1981)An almost perfect jazz album. Lovely tone and depth. Recommend with the caveat that the 80s recording lacks that 50/60s sparkle. 
Built a DIY butcher block and iron pipe rack over the weekend
Looks great. Nice photos too. I used concrete blocks with maple.

That is obscene. But to a billionaire, mere change. The more people we allow to amass wealth, the more these type of products will come to exist.

Lee Morgan's originals go for $$ in good condition.

@tomic601 PMed you. Thanks. 
Rebuild or new cartridge with my zeta tonearm
Because it was posted after my recommendation for a refurbished Decca, I get all my Deccas worked on by the London designer/builder himself, John Wright. So in this case, the refurbs are good as new.

A refurbished Decca (or new - a little expensive) loves the Zeta arm. 
Pondering to pull the trigger on an AT VM 760SLC
I have a 750 and it is probably enough for your needs and it's $200 cheaper. It is resolving enough to compensate for the speakers! You are overthinking the set up.
