The neighbors released an EM pulse? 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
@spiritofradio I love pre-digital recordings. The sound quality is often very good. But it's not just that. The history of the music is amazing.@slaw  Calexico -great band. 
First Moving Coil (MC) Cartridge Acquisition
Slightly off topic...but replace your 750 with a 850. Big upgrade.

Luckey Roberts & Willie Smith ‎- Luckey & The Lion: Harlem Piano (Good Time Jazz 1960)Reading the back cover about these two great Harlem ticklers and their amazing lives makes me bittersweet about having a really boring life! 
Who else here is frugal?
Frugal is my middle name. But not too cheap. It's important to be able to discriminate between what is excellent and honest and what is designed to rip you off. This goes for everything you buy. I do detest wasting money though.

Josh White - Josh at Midnight (Elektra 1956)Awesome record. Interesting version of 'Jesus Gonna Make Up My Dyin' Bed' which Led Zeppelin covered but claimed as their own on Physical Graffiti.

Another marketing gimmick?
I'll never own an amp that uses LEDs to illuminate a tube. Fake and cynical.  
Is a stereo system a tougher sale to young people?
I offered to let my kid hear the Billie Eilish album on vinyl on my rig with the big sub. "No thanks, Dad, I’ve got my Raycons." 
The Expressimo Tonearm Lift by Analog Artisan (Brian Calaio)
Nice guy. I have the brass stub and half moon counterweight on a 12" Jelco 750 in a second system. It tightens up the presentation. 
Phono Amp for new Rega Planar 10 with Apheta 3
Ouch. I blame that Michael Jackson pressing. 
HELP! Streaming to my old school audiophile system
To get started, use a laptop with Tidal Hi-Fi (of preferred) subscription with the USB feeding a digital to analog converter -something like a Schiit Modi Multibit DAC. Then send the DAC RCA output into a spare Aux input on your Nak preamp. 
Hear my Cartridges....🎶
@bydlo Congrats on the LDR. It should sound magnificent in your 930/FR64. If it doesn't, send it back for adjustment. I don't believe you can buy direct from JW but perhaps you could specify a sonic signature from the distributor per @halcro posts...
