Feedback through turntable
If at all possible, move the speaker a little away from the turntable .  Keep doing it in small increments until the feedback is gone. 
Just Ordered New Speakers
Thank you.  I like that it is all wood instead of the sock and the newer drivers, etc.  I only hope they don't look too big in the living room, but other than the height, should fit well where the Triton 1 are now.  This will probably be the last ... 
Cartridge Dilema For New Turntable
Thanks guys, thats what I thought as well.  Looking forward to the new TT.  I must be out of my mind as I just put a 4K deposit down on the new GE Triton Reference speakers which I should receive late May/early June.  I am retiring at the end of 2... 
Looking to upgrade my preamp, suggestions?
A little over your budget, but I bought a new Rogue RP5 tube preamp for 3500.00 in October 2016.  I like it very much and it gels perfectly with my system. 
Please Help Me Choose a Speaker Cable
After all those years, why is your wife suddenly against the cables you have now?  It looks quite neatly arranged to me. 
DACs - what exactly do these things do?
Your Sony HAP-Z1ES has as good a internal dac as any external dac I have heard up to 2 grand.  I had a Wyred4Sound dac2 dsd se which was 2500.00 and I like the sound of the Sony internal dac better.

What Will Happen to Your Music Collection and Equipment When You.......
Since I have 2 systems, I will leave one to my son and one to my daughter.  They can go through my music collection and keep what they want and sell or give away the rest.  My wife has zero interest in my systems or the music. 
Agoners: Need Advice! Have 3K to spend on an Amp, what do I do with no way to audition?
I second the Odyssey. It is the best sounding amp to ever grace my living room and there isn’t much out there for under 5 grand that will compete (except for Liberty Audio). I have the Stratos stereo extreme that you can get new from Odyssey for a... 
Old Amp vs. New Amp
IMHO, Class D is not yet ready for prime time. 
Tube Pre+ Transistor Power will burn your power Amp. easily?
I ran a Classe solid state amp with a Modulus 3 tube preamp for 20 years and presently run a Stratos  solid state amp with a Rogue rp5 tube preamp.  Your friend doesn't know what he is talking about. 
Noise, rumble and general intereference
You could purchase a KAB Rumble Filter from KAB.  It solved the problem with my Scout turntable and there is no loss of air, clarity or otherwise. 
Fraud
notify Audiogon and they will delete the posts.  Same thing happened to me. 
Integrated amp upgrade
From what I have read, JV gave a full endorsement in TAS, then took it back when he found just how unreliable the Technical Brain components were.  They were never mentioned again. 
Yami A-S1100
What is a Yami?  Never heard of that brand before.
