Turntable isolation platform Recommendations?
I do not have experience with Critical Mass, but can attest that HRS has an excellent customer service, should you need to modify your platform down the road. I had to get low frequency absorbing feet when I changed furntables and they were super ... 
Technics SP10 MK3 Restoration
Don't see what's so great about the Oma plinth besides the atrocious price.  My vote would go for Albert Porter's panzerholz plinth capable of two arms.

What is the Best Tool to Measure Cartridge Azimuth?
I use the SmarTractor to first install the cartridge and then the Foz to determine how well my cartridge is centered.  The SmarTractor is one of the most accurate protractors available - Analog Magik even suggests using it for a good initial setti... 
HiFi News Test Record Azimuth
I use the  Analogue Productions - The Ultimate Analogue Test LP and measure test tone with the Fozgometer.  Testing by ears can be difficult if that's what the HiFi News Test Record requires.  Always best to have some sort of measuring device (os... 
Sopra 2 Bass
You need two subwoofers.  
KAB RF-1 subsonic filter
If your amp/preamp has a tape loop, you can attach directly - that is the best option.  Otherwise as Lewm suggested, you will need an extra set of RCA's.  
Which Phono Pre?

Purchase from Canada
Yes - you will have to pay duties in the US when importing from Canada. The seller can declare a lower value for the amp (I believe US$500 is the limit), but that's a risk if it gets lost or damaged in transit and you have to file a claim. If you ... 
Great Recordings, Sonically Speaking - and Why.
The Eagles Unplugged 1994 (The Second Night) Vol 1 is an excellent recording (vinyl)., I prefer this to Hell Freezes Over as it has the Don Henley singing Heart of the Matter which the vinyl/cd version doesn't have (video has it) as well as an awe... 
BEWARE OF FRAUD with this member
I would press Paypal. I think you have a decent case - they shouldn’t be so quick to refund the money especially since you have proof of mailing the item.   
Zu Audio Modded Denon 103's
Zu does modify the Denon 103 and brands their name them for a premium (~ 367% in this case). Well I guess that clears them of any maintenance type issues that one may encounter. While that seems to be okay with most people, I (along with @billwojo... 
Zu Audio Modded Denon 103's
Well if he can do it - why can't Zu? It's their cartridge. 
Zu Audio Modded Denon 103's
Yes - I agree there are many better choices for ~ $1k cartridges.  For half the price, there are also great retipping options for the 103.   
John Hiatt and The Jerry Douglas Band hit the road!
Bummer - not coming to LA county. Looks like a couple shows in Orange County and San Digeo though. Been a John Hiatt since my days in Chi'Town.
