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."

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.

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.

@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...

@bydlo Most likely. Although their effective mass is listed as the same on Jelco's site. I posted the issue as a separate post on Analog. 
Schiit Mani or Cambridge duo or Mofi ultraphono for a phono stage.
The Nagaoka MP500 and Mani combo. 
If you were to design a tone arm, what would it look like and feature?
Remember the older gentleman who designed a weird tonearm that Fremer covered very briefly at AXPONA? And he needed funding? That arm.

Manley Chinook or Gold Note PH10 
Need a new Hi-Fi rack?
If you have a concrete floor, you might consider a concrete block stand. While possibly not in line with what you might want aesthetically, it sounds great. I use blocks with 3" maple top.
