Marantz SA-8260--low output and fuzzy bass???
It may be your bass management settings. 
Older Yamaha av receiver with phono.....
Try it. But it will only work with movong magnet or high output moving coils. 
Rotel RB-1080 humm
It is a ground loop caused by the video connection. Does the 1080 have a three prong plug while the 1070 does not? If this is the case a cheater plug should relieve the problem. 
I'm setting up a Denon 61F turntable
You may have to use spacers between the catridge and headshell. 
How do you check for damaged wire in walls? HELP
It would be easy to check the wire for a short. Take your meter and set it for continuity and touch the leads to the positive and negative. It should beep if there's a short. To check for a broken wire, twist one end of the wire together and check... 
Stereo system Too Bright
I agree with Photon. You will be better off with an active preamp. You may also try moving your speakers around until the sound improves. 
Anything Like a Joule Electra?
(By stepping up the impedance of the load your OTL amp sees, you'll get a bit better control in the bass region and a bit better dynamics.) But then it is no longer an OTL.

David Gilmour Live in Concert, Pete Townsend/ Music from Lifehouse, Roger Waters/In the Flesh, Sade/ Lover's Live.Just to name a few. 
Krell/Classe/B&K
The Krell does have bass management. It doesn't have analog bass management for SACD and DVDA but neither do the others. 
Remastered Supertramp? Crime of the Century?
I have the Japanese LP that sounds a bit better than the MoFi LP. 
Best Live Albums?
801 Live is great. 
budget remote preamp?
B&K's sounds great. 
Audio Research LS-25 MK1 Owners
Are you using a sub? Are you using the balanced outs? 
Grace 714 tonearm....any experience?
Someone is making a wooden armed tonearm nowadays. 
What is the advantage of a balanced interconnect?
I apologize for any name calling. It was too easy. But, you should not imply that your system is better than anyone else's.
