AC POWER DISTRIBUTOR/POWER CABLE VERSUS DEDICATED
Both! Any current draw on a shared circuit, will cause a voltage drop, to one degree or another. The smaller the wire gauge and/or higher the current draw, the greater the voltage drop. Some noise from other devices, can still be transmitted throu... 
Flux Hifi Sonic Stylus Cleaner
@Rshak- I've still got my Signet SK 305 as well(bought in 1980). Talk about money, well spent! NOW: if they could make a AA battery that survived that long...... 
Nude Turntable Project
@Mr P- There are, "metallic" Corian colors available, that(in order to be, "metallics) contain aluminum flakes. No other Corian contains aluminum(or any other metal). I've been using Corian for a couple decades and there is no resonance or ringing... 
Nude Turntable Project
Just thought I'd mention Dupont Corian, as an excellent, easy to work, non-resonant, very dense material, that can be built up into whatever thickness desired: (http://casf.com.au/?src=globalnav) I've personally used it in a variety of resonance d... 
With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you
6.5 years on, I'll bet the OP has spent his $20K already(just a guess). 
Tubes and their problems
If your system is bringing in al-jazeera: look for tube with a beard and towel-wrapped head. Eliminate it, with extreme prejudice, before it blows up your house! 
Re: Technics RS-M85 casette deck part needed
Mr K- E-mail on the way. 
TUBES: Telefunken EL84 & ECC801
Chakster- Some years back; I was building a driver board for an amp(ST70) and required three 12AT7 family valves. Desiring the most transparent available; I sought the Tele ECC801S and Tube Museum was offering them. This purchase was, and remains,... 
Audiogon has no 'likes'
Thus far; my AdBlock has eliminated over 582K unwelcome intrusions. Well worth the $30 I donated, a couple years back. ENJOY!

@Schubert- AdBlock is available for Google Chrome as well(just btw). Never get ads, on this site.

"....That would be a definite NO. I don't Tweet or Facebook or any of the other BS out there....," THUMBS UP! 
adding active cross over to my system
If you're set on a separate Hi/Lo pass filter and amp, the Dahlquist DQ-LP1 is an excellent unit. The Hi-Pass circuit consists of only one capacitor(as high a quality as you choose to employ), chosen based on the input impedance of the power amp. ... 
Infinity IRS Betas Make Loud Noise When On
If one of the AC outlets that your various components are plugged into is wired out of phase; you can experience the same result as the mis-wiring of the bass Management system and towers. An inexpensive tester such as this, can tell you if that's... 
Custom Bridge Rectifier on a preamp power supply
There are various types of Schottky(as well as FRED) diodes. ie: Just within those Schottky diodes manufactured with Silicon(as a semiconductor); a variety of barrier heights are available, that result in differing Current to Forward Voltage curve... 
Cables more hype than value?
Mr D- Every cable/wire in your system is important. Between every component; your signal is transferred and there are a plethora of nuances that can be lost and have a profound effect on your presentation. Imagine viewing a very high-def 3D movie,...
