Grado Labratory Wood Tonearm? 3 questions: Keep it? Sell It? Burn it?
I have one lying around. But I'd rather use my FR-29 and FR-54 with my collection of low-compliance mc cartridges! Removable headshells are a big advantage for changing cartridges! 
Difference between Manley Compact 100 and Compact 80 amplifiers? Problems?
I have an SP6. Turn it on before the power amp and turn it off after shutting off the power amp. It remains an excellent preamp at an affordable price!

Phono Stage question
The Denon will be fine! Unlike tube amps, SS amps don't require connection to a speaker load! 
Which amp
I have the same amp/preamp combination. Don't change it! The TNT 200 is an excellent amp for driving difficult speakers (I.e. electrostats and ribbons). It sounds fine! Anything else will just be a sidewise move! Jim Strickland got it right when h... 
Kora Triode 100 SB Mono Block Power Amps
My mistake about the output configuration of the Kora amps! I apologize!  
Liquid Amps
Disclaimer: I presently own a Thoebe preamp, two Sons of Ampzilla and a Grandson! Classics indeed!
