Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD
And then there is the phono amp... 
Need help deciding what preamp to go with my setup
Second the Yamaha. There is one on Reverb.com for $295. 
Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
@cakyo Use electrolytic capacitors with a 105°C rating over the 85°C versions. 
Amsued To Death - Roger Waters CD
@stereo5 Come on! Final Cut was written by Waters. Wright didn't even play in it.

I saw Hitchhiker and Final Cut performed live in London many years ago. Simply stunning. I prefer both of these over the other RW material.  
Kudos to Cary Audio
10% off at 100watts? (sorry) 
Sudden problem with turntable
You might also consider cleaning your records with a SpinClean -$60 on Amazon. Pick up a gallon of distilled water. It is an excellent product and simple to use.  
Hear my Cartridges....🎶
Lisrened 3 times to each alternating between the recordings. Initial reaction was:1. Palladian - Where did the band go?2. Z1 - Where did the strings go?The Palladian sounded very syrupy while the Z1 had better air and sou ded cleaner.

Zu103 or Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC cartridge
If you opt for the SS Zephyr,  make sure you get the new ES model. There are low and medium output versions. 
Sudden problem with turntable
Buy a box of Mr. Muscle Magic Eraser. (seriously). Lower the stylus onto the block. Raise it. Lower it, raise it. All set.Do not drag it over stylus. Ever. 
Anyone using the Pete Riggle Woody?
I'm taking your advice and not taking the risk. Thanks. 
Setting up 2 power amplifiers to setup at once help?
@almarg Thanks Al. Rock and roll! 
Setting up 2 power amplifiers to setup at once help?
@roberjerman I think we've covered that. He could sell both amps and get a better single one that would be the best solution. But then again, you don't think amps sound different. The guy wants to try it out, play, and learn and wants to check in ...

You understand what you are doing? Whether it sounds good or not, I am all for experimenting and learning. Sure, try it and see. You won't break anything unless you short out connections etc. That is your risk. Take care not to set the volume to max.
