High Output MC Cartridge recommendations?
Bummer about the cleaning crew - hopefully that problem has been eliminated!I started my vinyl journey with a HO Blackbird and loved it.  Sounds like you enjoyed yours.   
Preamp issue?
Every issue I have had with tube preamps has been the result of faulty tubes.  Noisey, popping sound like pop corn, microphonic howl.  But never what you describe.  But I suppose it is possible.  Defintely swap the tubes - that is the first step i... 
Gregg Allman passed away today
Enormous loss!  Garebear, you hit the nail on the head!RIP 
Power Cord Recommendation
i have tried almost every Kimber SC and IC but never a PC, my post above was a bit off topic from the OP. 
Power Cord Recommendation
Absolutely Kimber is tried and proven to be solid especially from entry models to the select series.  It comes down to tastes and system preference but I will always have Kimber either in the system or on the bench. 
thiel 3.7 owners
Nice story Jon - I have had 3.6’s for 16 years and CS6’s for another 3 but my favorites are the 3.6.  I spent alot of time with the 3.7 when it came out but I could not justify 12 to 14K price tag when the 3.6’s were so good.I have had other speak... 
Power Cord Recommendation
Wywires Juice is on both my amps and phono stage after trying several more expensive PC’s.   They are also flexible and easy to route.Like phillyb says - you do not have to spend big bucks to improve sound over stock cords.

RIP Chris Cornell

RIP Chris Cornell
What a shame!  Another rocker gone...RIP. 
Who is the WORST Audio Shop?
I have had good experiences at Ears Nova in NYC.Done quite a bit of business with JS Audio in Bethesda.  Joe is a little quirky for sure. 
Transfiguration Proteus
I am digging mine as well, best load for me is 75 ohms with an Allnic H3000, Basis TT and Vector 4 tonearm. 
Shunyata, Kimber or Nordost?
Do you have the opportunity to audition?  I think the Nordost and Kimber have very different sonic profiles, the Kimbers being on the warm side.  I also owned the Kimber hybrid 3035 for a while. I agree with the above comment that it is better, mo... 
Power cord for Classe gear.
PS Audio Statement was the best I heard on my Classe CA200. 
Need FLEXIBLE Power Cord .
I have used many but Wywires juice always make it back in my system - they are keepers.  They are very flexible, I use them on Mcintosh 501's and Allnic 3000 phono amp.  They are in your price range.
