Gauging interest in a 2008 Continuum Caliburn
There's one for sale here for $69000.   
Tube based phono stage
Check out Abbas Audio, Kitsune KTE LCR-1, and LampizatOr Vinyl Phono VP4. I’ve not heard them. I’ve been doing a lot of reading on units that are leading the way in the $2-6k arena and these are getting a lot of attention.

Bypassing Caps - what is it really about?
Larger capacitors act as inductors at AC frequencies. The larger the cap and the higher the frequency, the higher the "resistance" presented by the cap. This can impede or roll off frequency response (impedence). A small value cap across the large...

Which Audio Research preamp?
@audphile1 Oh man, phono on the brain! Good catch.  
DIY Steampunk Tube Amplifier, feedback please :)
Interesting looking. Not sure if it’s a good looking interpretation of steam punk but kudos for going out on a limb. I’d appreciate it more if the astethics were based more on function than mere add ons to look the part. Dual amp is a good idea. T... 
Anyone subbing E80CC/ 6085 for 12au7 in their Rogue Audio gear?
E80CC draws twice the heater current. 600mA. Otherwise should be fine. More gain, so louder.

Buzzing/static on Philips GA437 turntable
Does the cantilever sag so the cartridge body rides very close to surface of record? Have you tried one ground wire from system to mains ground? Is the phono stage designed for moving magnet cartridges?

@bkeske  Per dayglow's question, and my reply, what do you think?  
Buzzing/static on Philips GA437 turntable
Sounds like the cartridge is caput. Ensure there are no WiFi routers or cable modems nearby. Try removing the ground wire on the 110v supply. Cheater plug? Are you sure there's an appropriate phono stage in the amplifier?  
Which Audio Research preamp?
PH6 or PH8. Used.   
Is audio gear sensitive to static electricity?
Yes.
