"Bias" is bias, regardless of the viewpoint or subject.     ie: Those that are so adamant, regarding their beloved theories/opinions/biases(regardless of the source), while refusing to acknowledge that ONLY experimentation(the heart of the Scienti... 
On the hunt for the "just right" turntable lamp-ideas, and where to find 'em?
Did the deed and it works MAHvelously.    Much brighter than the 3 AAAs ever were, given the slightly higher voltage.    To be more clear; I used an old 5V, flip-phone charger.    Now- if the LEDs hold up.....

@islandmandan - You may have purchased the same lamp as mine, but- I must have better batteries.    Still; mijostyn got me thinking and I dug out an old phone charger.    It’s 5V output should do fine. 
$27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???
Crazy price for a paint job, BUT- at the end of the day; Wilson Audio’s bottom line will be fine, their Facebook followers will still be happy(ie: reviews = 4.9 out of 5 stars, their, "likes" = >41K), and- the underprivileged will continue thei...

Phono Preamp Tube Rush
@dhcod- You mentioned having tried new tubes.     Were they graded for low noise?    You probably already know, but, just in case- some tube vendors grade their tubes.    Some don’t.   ie(check what’s said, regarding, "Platinum Grade" and, "Kevin’...
