VPI Uni-Pivit Tone Arms
Jelco 750 is an excellent affordable arm! 
Power amplifiers with selector Class of operation?
Speaker switching is not harmful to an amplifier and is a nice feature to have when using two pairs of speakers. 
Vimberg has a bookshelf coming out
Someone will buy it. 
KEF C80's.../ or...KLH 5's ?
Keep the C80's! A much better speaker! Designed by Dr.Richard Small of Thiele/Small (principles of optimum loudspeaker design).  
Sansui 2000A Vintage receiver question
I have a 1000A and a 2000A. Both have no turn-on relays. They do have pre in-out jacks, making them quite versatile! 
Do you guys like Adele's music?
She's no Sarah Vaughn, that's for sure! 
Top five live Rock And Roll Albums
Quicksilver Messenger Service's Happy Trails deserves to be on this list!   
KLH Model 5 question
I have AR 2ax's, AR 4's and KLH 6's. Plus the outstanding KLH Nine electrostats. They are all capable of excellent well-balanced sound! 
KLH Model 5 question
Those vintage AR and KLH acoustic suspension speakers were built back in the day when 25 watt (PP 6L6G's) tube amps were common. These sealed-box speakers sacrificed sensitivity for lower bass extension. Which they do quite well!  
KLH Model 5 question
Twenty five watts is a good recommendation! My KLH 6's work well with my Dynaco ST70 tube amp (35 wpc). 
Which power cords help ameliorate digital glare/grain/digititus?
Flat Earth science pervades these discussions! A power cord has about as much effect on SQ as a copper bracelet has on relieving the discomfort of arthritis!

@mijostyn: the OP was not asking about anti-static devices!

I am surprised that you don't like the sound of the Jensen's in the Berning. Those were used in my first SUT way back in 1977 - a Cotter P !

To avoid that Sony made the HA-T10 direct plug-in SUT. I have a pair (they are individual one-channel apiece). No IC needed!

Also I advise keeping the IC between SUT and phono stage short (a half-meter or less). Otherwise SQ will suffer!
