are some phono stages more resistant to hum?
Something that worked for me with a P75 phono stage was running a wire from the ground post of my phono preto the chassis of my preamp

electric ladyland/exile on main st
The recent Legacy Electric Ladyland is incredible sounding. And the original US Exile is fabulous (reissue is junk, read Fremer's review).Good luck finding a good US original pressing Exile. Go to Amazon now and get the Electric Ladyland. Now. 
Best tube-based phono stage?
A budget would help. At under $1000 and MM only, I liked the Quicksilver. At near $4k, it seems that the Zesto Audio Andros PS1 has been very well reviewed.

If anyone knows how to contact his family, it might be nice to refer them to this thread to know how appreciated Pubul57 was here. 
VPI Classic vs. Well Tempered Amadeus
Lewm, I can't speak to the Classic (though Jeff Dorgay at Tone Publications was raving about it recently). But you can see my direct comparison of the WTA and a Townshend Rock in a thread titled something like "Townshend Rock 7 Initial Impressions... 
System feedback coming thru speakers.....help
+1 on getting your equipment into a grounded socket. I'd do that pronto. If you are renting, I'd talk to your landlord. Having safe electricity is a pretty reasonable request. If you own, then I'd spring for an electrician to give you some grounde... 
One sub or two?

AKFest, who's going?
Ozzy, Sorry I missed you there. I also think that not having AKFest last year, combined with all the new shows popping up affected the vendor turnout. On the flip side, I do like how manageable the size of AKFest is. No huge rush to see everything... 
AKFest, who's going?
Ah, I wondered why somone mentioned that they were surprised David Michael didn't show. I saw them on Saturday. They were very displeased with the sound of their room. Both being very bright and not giving them the bass they normally expect from t...

Have you selected USB as your audio out in sound control panel in the System Preference screen of the Mac Mini? 
AKFest, who's going?
Had a fabulous time at AKFest yesterday, and wow did all of the Vapor Speakers I heard really impress. All the more amazing since they had less time to set up than many due to transportation problems. That Beyma tweeter in a waveguide was stunning...
