Best type of metal for turntable platform?
If I were to machine a plinth, I’d choose Corian, rather than any metal.      Even if it meant stacking and gluing sheets; to obtain an adequate thickness/depth.      I’ve used the stuff, in a number of installs/applications, for resonance control...

So many variables/possibilities (why I mentioned contacting a tax attorney).       Wish I could better advise you, but- my tax situation is vastly different.

My sound systems have never marked their spot, or enjoyed riding in the back of a pick-up, as did my dogs and '53 Pan (on rare occasion).                                                                Nor have I ever seen a shirt, proclaiming, "...

In that case: you’re paying the state's, "lawmakers" not to lock you up for, "Possession".       They’ll pocket MUCH more, that way (all they really care about).                                                             Enjoy the buzz and cou...

You’re being stuck/1099ed for supposed, "profits".    The only option is filing a long form (a 1040, the long way); deducting whatever might be considered, "business expenses".    ie: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed...

Here's where I shop, for small signal tubes:  http://www.audiotubes.com/12ax7.htm         Brent is hard to beat, when it comes to honesty, informed opinion and product quality.     Tell him your preferences, far as presentation; he'll hook you u... 
What ever happened to....
I, "chock up" the very noticeable improvement that I (and everyone to which I’ve demonstrated the effect, in the past 40 years) have heard, to a redirection of the magnetic flux that surrounds most power transformers.     That’s called, "PHYSICS".... 
Cal Audio Alpha/Delta Question
Glad you found a good fuse, that won't be a risk!    I really enjoyed the Alpha/Delta combo.   It was the first digital rig I'd heard, that sounded like music and actually presented something resembling a soundstage (depth and all), with the right...
