Low hum from amp
60 hz hum from a deteriorating power supply cap. 
How to greatly appreciate AudiogoN....
The overall quality of consumer goods has improved considerably since 1900! 
Just curious — Crown xls 5202 amplifier
Technology marches forward! Still, I'm holding onto my Perreaux 2150B - 340/680/920 wpc at 8/4/2 ohms! And the size and weight of a good anchor! 
If you want to use omni's you need a lot of room.
I have a pair of Ohm Walsh Sound Cylinders. They would sound great even in a closet! Sort of like a giant set of headphones! 
Where to Connect a Phono Preamplifier into a Line Stage
YES! 
Power Amplifiers
Right now I am using a late '70s GAS Son of Ampzilla. Driven by an RGR 4 preamp (early '80s). Speakers are DCM Time Windows 1A (late production). How's that for a way-back system!  
Threshold 800A or Threshold 4000?

Ready to pull the trigger on a DD turntable: Technics SL-1210GR or Pioneer PLX1000???
Show me a better TT than the PLX1000 for under $1K! It is not an inferior copy! I doubt that the Technics sounds significantly better. I have both the Pioneer and an older model of the 1200. Both are capable of musical satisfaction!

Buy a Pangea power cord from Audio Advisor. $90 - $100. Excellent quality. And will sound the same as any fancy expensive power cord. As well as a $6 Home Depot cord! Save your money for something that really matters, like speakers. Don't listen t... 
Where in the US to send my Linn Sondek LP12.
The basic Sondek is a fine TT! On a par with the original AR TT! Those "upgrades" that Linn wants customers to buy are just to get the neurotically insecure to spend more money!  
VTF gauge
Shure Stylus Force Guage - the old reliable! After my Ch*nese electronic scale stopped working I thankfully still had my Shure gauge! A great product deserving of Hall Of Fame status! 
Audion Sterling Plus upgrade
Not worth spending $2K+ dollars more! 
Audion Sterling Plus upgrade
Stick with the basic model - unless you have money to burn!
