Need help solving a system problem
That reviewer may have had a subsonic filter(many phono stages do), speakers without very low extension, a room with differing Sabine coefficients, etc. They don’t mention anything, regarding their reference system. It would be simple, to experime...

Is your’s a Purpleheart or a Purpleheart Sapphire? Their compliances differ, dramatically. https://www.vinylengine.com/cartridge_database.php?m=Kiseki&mod=Purple&t=any&sort=2&...= Given the effective mass(16.5 Gr) of your arm, weig... 
Ancient Ohms
As long as their surrounds aren't torn, you could probably hurt your ears first, with anything over 35 WPC, unless you have a rather large room and enjoy high SPLs.  Virtually any vintage tube amp, will have 16 Ohm taps and as easy time driving th... 
Mcintosh MC250 ( Does this look like some of the caps have been replaced)??
That big, blue Phillips should have been either a GE or Mallory, in a can. So- those and the 470uF caps: yep, new. The multi-section, GE, can cap, may be original. The white, film caps look original. The power output boards(mounted under the outpu...

Can’t say as I had. Then again, I’d expect whatever voltage was getting into the system, to follow the path of least resistance. Even with an inductor(as opposed to a cap), the woofer would be the first victim and(if playing music at the moment) t...

"That’s because there is no need. I’ve got plenty of scopes but its academic." Sorry to say, that’s what I expected. Regarding, "Ask any speaker designer." I made my living, in Orlando/Winter Park, FL, repairing/reconing speakers, designing/buildi... 
8 track CRUSHES CD,Vinyl and everything else!!!
Do you ever feel like an 8-track tape, living in an iPod world?

1) "Finally, although it’s more of an academic point than one having practical significance, if a large DC voltage is suddenly applied to a capacitor, and a large current briefly flows corresponding to C(dv/dt), the nearly instantaneous change in ... 
What was the movie?
Resembles the plot of my marriage, separation and divorce(only lacking a female character). 
What area or country do you live in ?

MQA is Legit!
Placido was crowned, ’King of the Opera’, by Newsweek, in 1982. I vote PLACEBO be crowned, ’King of the Copout’, on these pages.
