Reducing screen voltage 7591A's
Um.... yeah, but not what you might think. You can’t just replace the cathode resistor with a big high wattage pot. Have a look here. And for more info in general here.I need to clarify the above posts. On my initial reading, I just assumed you we... 
Reducing screen voltage 7591A's
As it’s just the screen voltage, there should be no sag. You might look at reducing the main B+ though using 7 watt 100R etc. resistors in the secondary legs of the power transformer. You should also strongly consider using an adjustable negative ... 
Reducing screen voltage 7591A's
What’s with the 7591?To get the resistance value or the dropper resistor, measure the approximate current in amps in the B+ supply and divide it into the voltage you want to drop. (V/I = R). Then to get the wattage of the resistor, multiply the vo... 
Vinyl turntable mat?
Millercarbon, have you heard the detail in an ASMR recording? Or a school brass band with a drum kit playing in a marble-floored hall? Pretty dang detailed! 
replacing tonearm question?
If you are going the Jelco route, get the 850. It is far better for not much more money. 
Turntable/Subwoofer Ground loop
If you are not using a 3 wire speakon cable, make sure not to use two negatives on the high-level input. From speakers: Red and black on left speaker. Red on right.

Help me decide between these two turntable/cartridge combinations
How will you get the EAT clamp on and off with 5" to play with?! 
Hear my Cartridges....🎶
Late to the party. The Barodin Symphony No.2 shootout. First off, your system sounds great especially with my upgraded subwoofer.  Second, the Sony really does excel. I listened to the LDR first and it sounded good but the subdued triangle near th... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Current 93 - Thunder Perfect MindProbably the best album ever made. 
Turntable cost:benefit
What Dan said. My AudioGrail 401 in a slate plinth with a new steel idler, new heavier platter, and oversize bearing cost about $4200 (+ 2 tonearms) and would trash that SME for less than a quarter of their asking price. To answer your question on... 
Is There any Consensus at all amongst Audiophiles?
@nonoise Am I missing a reference to John Hobbes, or do you mean Hobson's choice? 
What is wrong with audiophiles?
Wouldn't the multiple magnetic fields impact the stream of musical electron things?

Is There any Consensus at all amongst Audiophiles?
Sometimes even old forgotten theories eg Flat Earth, can attempt a comeback!That's a hypothesis. A theory is correct until proven otherwise.
