An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree?
When I was selling my JBL 640's I gave my cousin a demonstration. We listened to PF's DSOTM on CD (I forget which version). Listening, I thought that this was the best sound I had heard from that venerable recording! I told my cousin so and said "...

And I gave him a subscription to TAS for a year. But I didn't renew it because I felt that Stereophile was instead a better value for the average listener!

My cousin has the same system in use since the mid - 70's. Mac C28 and 2105 with JBL 100's. He is happy! But is he an audioph*le? I did get him a Stereophile subscription! 
1980s Onkyo Turn Table
Get the new Grado Black Prestige cartridge! $79 - or so from Needle Doctor! It will sound a lot better than that cheap Audio Technica or whatever is on the tonearm now! 
Sherwood Pre amp S 6020cp ...Amp Hook up question
Use either pair! 
scratchy sound from tweeter
You can find a pair of ADS 200 speakers available for not much money! Same size and configuration as the Radio Shacks. But much better build quality! USA - built!

One of the 8 inch woofers in my Snell E's now does this all the time! So I had to buy a replacement pair from SEAS! Careful with that volume control!

Voice coils are rubbing against the magnets! Turn down the volume before the damage is permanent! 
Audio Research Dac 2 Vs the Audio Research Dac 7
Save your cash and get a Topping D50 DAC ($350). Compared to the over-priced ARC gear, the French Chef says "No diffawrance!"

The "troo" audioph*les are thrifty and always shop secondhand first! Of which there are an abundance of riches cast off from the gullible and neurotic! 
Would SR Galileo UEF Analog Power Cords sound noticeably worse on CD Player than Digital?

Refurbishing 1973 Large Advent speaker
Rubber surrounds are certainly. preferable to foam (ugh!). 
Refurbishing 1973 Large Advent speaker
I replaced the woofers in my pair of the Small Advents with woofers taken from a pair of KLH's (rubber surrounds) that I bought cheap from GoodWill. Worked perfectly fine! So you could do the same! A beat-up pair of AR's or KLH's can yield a nice ... 
Name Your Top 5 Most Musical Dynamic Sounding Tonearms of All time?
I have a Gray Research 208 awaiting installation on my Bogen Lenco B61. A real dinosaur of a tonearm that had widespread radio station use. It will be a good match with my several Denon 103 variants! 
Best speakers for Cary CAD-300se
Forget the AudioNote E. Way too expensive ($5000). Get the Klipsch Heresy III for less than $2K. A much better match for a SET 300B amp! Sensitivity of 99 db! I bought a pair of older Heresy's (Mk.1) to use with my SET 45 and 2A3 amps. The E's don...
