Music to make you laugh by
Its Spike Jones, for those not familiar with him. I will second the nomination of Leroy Anderson's works. I have a multi LP set of most of them. 
Music to make you laugh by
My favorite is Spide Jones "Let's Sing a Song of Christmas". I have the original LP my parents bought in 1956. It is now out on CD. I get a big smile on my face ever time I play it. I bought a copy of the new CD for the rest of the family for Chri... 
Hooking high output MC to low MC stage.
Have you ever tried it without the resistors? I had a Blue Point and it would play fine in either phono preamp MM or MC I tried; just louder in the MC. (I did use it in MM mode because the gain on my audio preamp was also high. Turn the volume all... 
Best Component Ever, for the money
Best ever for the money for me is the +/- $450 I spent for the Stan Warren Modified Pioneer DVD Player. 
Do your Cables migrate thru your system?
Yes, I guess the do migrate through my system(s). I will always try new cables first in the Pre-Power Link, then the CD player, Tuner, then through a second system in my Den/Computer Room. I do not care enough about my HT system to warrant expensi...

Absolutely Amazing RIP OFF OFFER
I found in a box of junk they were throwing away at work a IEC 14awg power cord from a blown computer server. Tried it at home and it was better than the OEM cord that came with power conditioner I use in my small Den/Home office system. 
Absolutely Amazing RIP OFF OFFER
I read an similar article about Stan Warren, who for those who don't know him co-founded PS Audio and now modifieds CD player, amps, preamps at home. The article concluded that the only thing wrong with Stan's Mods is he does not charge enough mon... 
Modification of speaker cables
You could see if you can get them re-terminated. The cost should not be too much. Are these gold spades I assume? I had this problem once with other brand and was able to carefully spread out (bend) the spade forks enough to fit around the wider b...

Seperates vs Integrated
Depending on your budget look at the various YBA models. The best is the Integre DT (For Dual Transformer; I believe Stereophile A, can come with built in phono), There is a regular Integre, but if you cannot afford a DT, go take a listen to YBA's... 
Adding a Second Sub
You have a great sub, so two Stentors will be even better. Should make the stereo image even better. There are no drawbacks I know of other than cost and whether the space can accomodate two subs.For those others reading, one good sub is better th... 
MERCURY LIVING PRESENCE
You could do a search of closed auctions on eBay to get an idea. There are some books at places like Borders, etc. Yes, they did use 33mm film on some recordings. A lot of them are Eastman groups, I guess close to Kodak in Rochester.
