I'd probably lose this bet....
PAY UP! 
Have a heliflux magnetic aspect sensor type 3
Sounds like part of a metal detector. 
Thirty dollar upgrade worth thousands
My wife told me I never listen to what she says, or something like that! 
What guage hook up wire would be the best?
An especially good place to shop for interconnect wire & much more: ( http://percyaudio.com/Catalog.pdf ) See page 2 
BAT VK-60..New to tubes...Help???
Raytheon, RCA and National Union VT-231 tubes(bottom gettered, from the 40's), will retain whatever sound staging, imaging, dynamics(etc) your recordings possess, but with just a touch of added warmth. Be certain to buy tubes that are graded for l... 
Newbie Question: Why is turntable volume so low?
As Mr B mentioned; A good step-up X-former would be another way to go, without lowering the performance of which the table/cartridge combo is capable. What would be the point of buying a table listing for $2500.00, that comes with a cartridge, opt... 
Which resistors to use for KT88 output tubes
Let us know how your amp project turns out. 
Which resistors to use for KT88 output tubes
Mills makes some nice, non-inductive wirewounds and what I would probably choose for the screen grid: (http://www.hndme.com/productcart/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=54) I wouldn't use carbon comps anywhere in an amp, that I didn't want to exhi... 
Newbie Question: Why is turntable volume so low?
That turntable generally is equipped with the DL-A100 cartridge, modeled after their DL-103(.3mV output). As Minkwelder mentioned; Low Output MC cartridges require a phono preamp with sufficient gain(around 60dB). When you obtain one(phono pre): d...

Again, the Vishays and Caddocks I was referring to, are both Metal Films. Read the paper again, in that light. Yes, this has also been my experience. 
Which resistors to use for KT88 output tubes
Metal films like Vishay and Caddock, are excellent, but good wirewounds have actually proven to be quieter. ( http://www.aikenamps.com/ResistorNoise.htm ) It can't hurt to have stable/quiet resistors, in every section of your circuit.

Another point on your bias resistors: Find 1% tolerance pieces(but, you probably already know that). 
What city do you live in?
@ B_limo: I never have seen the post from TP. It seems quite a large number of individuals highly desire classics, such as an original '58 Pan. That's why they command such high prices, here and especially abroad. Happy listening & fortune in ... 
What city do you live in?
@ B_limo: What kind of insurance do you have on your Panhead? Smith, Colt, Beretta, HK, Ingram, Desert Eagle or Glock? Caliber(s)? The Duo-Glide didn't come out until '58. Yours must be REALLY special! From the ghetto of IndiaNO-PLACE, IN 
Confusion
Yes, you CAN listen to those formats, via the BDP-95. Read the portion of this spec sheet, regarding, "SACD" & "Additional Disc & Media Formats": (http://www.oppodigital.com/blu-ray-bdp-95/) For FLAC; just load the files on a USB drive, an...
