Changed amplifiers and need some feedback...
I actually thought this was a send-up and what you were experiencing was a new level of transparency, depth, imaging, detail and air, ordinarily lost in the dull NAD sound. Are you sure this isn’t the case?  
Soundstage and explosive dynamics?
@markus1299 Did you get rid of your 40.1s? 
New York Stereo show at Park Lane Hotel
Triangle Arts might be interesting.  
Best arm for a mono cartridge
That’s the stylus. The arm still has to move in x and y axis. Depends on the cartridge. A Jelco SA750 is an excellent inexpensive arm suited to lower compliance cartridges. 
Slight Hum From Rega Elicit R
Power up takes the most power through the transformer so an initial buzz is not unusual. A slight hum may be caused by dirty power. Can you try it on a different circuit? Also check nothing is loose from transit. 
Replacing AC cable on older amps and pre amps (Non IEC)
@wolf_garcia I was amazed at the improvement I got on my preamp by the switch to this over the supplied cord. Beats me why manufacturer doesn't supply it with these.  
Replacing AC cable on older amps and pre amps (Non IEC)
@wolf_garcia If you select the 10 gauge variant, the price goes up! OP. Just make sure the new cable isn’t too thick for the small hole of older amps. And make sure it is: 1. Not solid core.2. Mains rated. 3. Grounded 
Turntable getting back to vinyl
Brian, Not recommending them because they are DJ tables but because they are good. Pioneer and AT have the resources to develop a good table at a good price and these fit that bang for the buck. If you are put off by the aesthetic, there are lots ... 
Come on people....BASS!
People with really expensive systems using poor grammar and bad spelling irk me. How did they succeed on making so much while knowing so little? 
Replacing AC cable on older amps and pre amps (Non IEC)
Sure you can. As long as you know what you are doing and make sound, tidy and safe connections. I have found these to be much better than Pangea. 
Turntable getting back to vinyl
Would telling you make it so?! Consider saving a little longer for a Pioneer PLX1000 at under $700. Add a Shure M44 or Nagaoka MP110 for a really good TT that will give you more fun than anything cheaper. Failing that look at the Pro-Ject Debut Ca... 
Advise on TT Support Platform
You could even use a bunch of adjustable lally columns / post jacks. 
Anyone hear a Croft Integrated Amp?
@nordicnorm I bought a pair of the LS Shuguangs from Grant and love them in my 25R. Thanks for the head's-up. 
Advise on TT Support Platform
Sounds like your TT will sway around like the Empire State in a storm. Why not build up a stone foundation under the table location and bolt the floor to that? 
if you had my system and $2,000 budgeted for an upgrade, where would you spend it?
Second the Audiomods tonearm as a no-brainer upgrade.
