Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ...
@actaman -              SOUNDLY, at that!  
The Cable Co
@sdl4 -      Thanks for the correction.      It’s been a minute, since my last cable purchase.

     This doesn't hurt, either: https://www.thecableco.com/frequent-flyer.html

     I've auditioned/purchased both new and used Synergistic, Kimber, Wireworld, Analysis Plus and Audioquest components, from The Cable Company, without a hitch or disappointment, for over 25 years*.       As long as I’ve used their Lending Libr... 
Recommendations for automatic tonearm lift
      I've been using original versions of this unit, since the early Eighties* and have never been disappointed: https://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-AT6006R-Safety-Raiser/dp/B07HKX6WL7                   *Of course: they were much less expensi... 
Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it?
@yowser -             I, for one, appreciate @cakyol perspectives and candor!   
Looking for suggestions for a good and trusted tube dealer
    Another vote for Brent Jessee, for signal (octal and nine pin) tubes (excellent tube quality/testing protocols and customer support*).      For power tubes: Upscale Audio and these guys: https://tctubes.com/6550-KT88-KT90-KT120-tubes.aspx   ... 
Why don't upgrade the wires and components inside our units?
                      Why do so many* make such ignorant assumptions?       I've been upgrading caps in signal paths, modding/improving power supplies, and using Teflon insulated/oxygen-free wire w/ferrite beads (when appropriate), for myself, as... 
Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it?
     30+ years ago: I tried some of the following*, in my first pair of Magnepans, to see if I could discern an improvement, before simply bypassing the fuse holder/attenuator circuit entirely (moved & resoldered one wire).      I'd never con... 
For all you Bose 901 Haters!
                      "What kind of power cables should I get for that?"                                         For BEST sound: NONE!  
For all you Bose 901 Haters!
                                          "Cookin’ with flatulence."            Then: consuming MASS QUANTITIES of Intermodulation Distortion.  
Power Amp Question
@bop333 -                        Have fun and happy listening, George!  
Power Amp Question
@bop333 -      btw: Are you dissatisfied with your system's SPL output, with all sources, or- only with your analog setup?      I've been trying to find the voltage output for your AT MC cartridge, but: guess that's a company secret.      The o... 
Power Amp Question
@bop333 -      Supposedly: your current speakers are fairly sensitive, at 92 dB/1W/1M.         Many SS amps will safely double their 8 Ohm output wattage ratings, into a 4 Ohm (nominal) load, which your speakers will present.      According to ... 
Power Amp Question
@bop333       IF your question is how to use your NAD integrated as a preamp only: there should be two links (rectangular, black plastic covered) between the C356's rear PRE OUT 2 and MAIN IN RCA jacks.      Remove those and simply plug a pair o...
