Repairing Sansui G6000 FM and bulbs
To use FM you must connect an antenna to the back of the receiver. 
Advice Needed
Keep the Wadia and use it straight into the Levinson. No need for a separate preamp since the Wadia allows you to control the gain. And it sounds as good as any transport/DAC! The Ushers are a fine sounding speaker, just a different "flavor" than ... 
Speaker distance
DCM Time Windows 6 feet apart, center to center. I sit about 6 to 8 feet back.  
Wrong way to clean a stylus!
Get a stylus cleaning brush and a small bottle of stylus cleaning fluid. Apply a drop to the brush and gently wipe the diamond tip from back to front several times. This should remove any debris. Do this after playing a side of an LP. Keep your LP...

Can cables of any cost and quality provide bass response missing in my B&W speakers?
Wire has NOTHING to do with bass quality - unless it's REAL teeny!                     Remember: BIG woofer/magnet and BIG amp!

20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017

20 Year Old Amplifiers compared to 2017
Anybody remember Halcro? They claimed to have the lowest distortion and best sounding amp in the world. Where are they now? Every new amp manufacturer makes the same claim! A lot of B.S. gets thrown around! And the prices keep rising!
