Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Thank you nandric! I was just stating a principal fact from Physics. As stated previously I prefer an SUT for use with mc cartridges - rather than an active gain stage. Lower noise floor. And consider the fact that all those beloved LPs have been ... 
Stephens Trusonic 120CX. Unsure what cabinet brand is/original?
Nice find! Rare and worth restoring! 
Digital Remasters, Tapes & Records
Dolby takes care of tape hiss. 
I just inherited 800-1000 CD's and a lot of them are filthy
You can use a wash in Dawn (or any detergent) and tap water. Then a spray rinse with distilled water and air dry vertically. No need for any special cleaning fluid.  
The 'tube-transistor' enigma by MC carts?
All transformers require an iron core! 
Is there actually a difference?
The more one spends on an amplifier the more it is praised! 
Is there actually a difference?
Tube amplifiers with their typical output impedance of >1 ohm will act as tone controls as they interact with the typical varying impedance of most speakers. Ohm's Law applies here! Go look it up! 
SS Preamp to go with Revel Salon 2s
+1 soix! A very good recommendation! 
Malfunctioning Yamaha TT-300U
Another one for $85 and FREE shipping from Victorville, CA on the Bay! But listing ends in 10 hours! 
Mcintosh MC275 monoblock different version
@yogiboy: your suggestion will only work if the OP's speakers have a split crossover with separate + and - terminals for the bass and mid/highs. Good idea though!

SWEET HOME ALABAMA! We will miss you Ed! 
New speaker cables for my Bryston Mini-T's
Put the jumpers back on the Mini-T's. There is NO benefit to bi-wiring! Then use and listen to one single pair each week. I doubt you will hear any difference - all your wire is high-quality! 
Is It Possible?
The founder and owner of SME had an array of 16 horizontally and vertically stacked 63's in his listening room! I saw the pictures! And he could afford any speaker in the world! 
Is It Possible?
The 63's act as a point-source full-range driver. No complex x-over like in the Focal's and other box speakers. A much purer sound! Superior accuracy with impulse response! I'll take the 63's anytime over a box speaker with multi-drivers! 
Mcintosh MC275 monoblock different version
Probably sound the same.
