When are you going to try the London Reference on the TT-101/FR?  
Hear my Cartridges....🎶
Listened to them on my headphones. The 6 is in a different league. More snap, air, drums have a reverb against back wall, rim shots audible, clearer diction, more slight sibilance (not necessarily a good thing but at least you can hear it- trackin... 
AC Dedicated Line
I tried 2 x 20amp 12ga lines once and got hum. I’ve been running 1 x 20amp 8ga line for years and it is super quiet and sounds great. (it did when I first implemented it so I guess it's still good.)Electrical inspector was bemused but said it was ...

Loricraft Garrard 301 to Dobbins Sp10 Mk3 - What can I expect ?

Eico HF-81 question for those that have one and moved on from it or returned
One option would be to do what I did and go with EICO HF monoblocs and a more modern preamp with a phono section. I am using a Croft 25R with rebuilt HF-35s and they are unbeatable if not somewhat hard to come by. 
Please Help Me!!
That cheered me up. Glen, well done. I was almost going to tell the OP to go to audioka.... 
Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad
I swapped out my metal turntable stand for 4 concrete blocks and the difference is a considerable upgrade. See systems pic. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
@uberwaltz No. I have 3 Decca cartridges and mono records sound great on them. I'm not a mono aficionado!
