musical subwoofer recommendation for 2-ch
Once again the REL's have separate inputs for HT and 2 Channel with separate volume controls. If you set the crossover point the same for both, you will never have to touch it again, and will not have to buy a separate subwoofer for both. As a mat... 
Starker 6 Cello Suites
I have it on a regular Mercury CD set.

All of the above. The REL is the easiest to setup and integrate. 
Tuner condensation
Is the moisture on the inside? Treating may seal the moisture in. Remember that any air ventilation on the tuner's case will allow the moisture in as well. If there is moisture on the glass, there may be more where you cannot see. Buy a room dehum... 
One Subwoofer for 2 systems?
Sounds like it would work. You could check with Carver.REL subwoofers also have both sets of connections and are designed to work both ways without the need to change connections, settings, etc. No reason to think Carver is any different. Does the... 
Broken RCA jacks
Radio Shack sells generic replacements. A lot of times they are in stock in the store, so you don't have to wait for the mail. They do ship to your house or your local store.http://www.radioshack.com/search/index.jsp?kw=rca+jack&f=Taxonomy%2FR... 
Best stereo recievers of the 1970's?
For refined sound for not a lot of money, my vote is for Harmon Kardon. That said, I actually owned Onkyo gear back then. I liked their very good FM Tuner section. 
balanced power
It has everything to do with AC power. The voltage does not matter.I cannot speak for your country, but in the USA the two poles on the AC electric plug will be either 120V or Zero. Balanced power as I stated before is 60 & 60 180 degrees out ... 
balanced power
Just an FYI... Blue Circle will custom make a balanced Music Ring to step-up or step-down voltages with the required plugs, etc. I assume others companies will also ??? If you are a PS Audio fan, you could check with Paul McGowan. 
balanced power
In a normal unbalanced power line you have a hot conductor(120V to ground), a neutral conductor(0V to ground) and the ground. This unbalanced configuration permits low level noise contamination to pass through the power line directly to your sensi... 
A great SS integrated with a good phono stage?
I would not describe YBA as analytical. They also have a good phono stage (optional). 
Music Recommendations
Well, if all you mean 20th century, then there are thousands to choose from. My favorite 20th century is Shostakovich, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Vaughn William, Barber, Copeland, Faure, Korngold, Sibelius, and Goldmark. Don't dismiss film composers; ... 
Music Recommendations
Horner and Elfman are both film composers. I guess you should seek out movie soundtracks CDs that are classical in nature.All of John William's scores are symphonic. There are quite of few compilation CD's out there taking the best from a lot of h... 
Is there a budget preamp that stands out?
The Cambridge Audio phono preamps are getting good buzz.The 640p which does MC and MM can be had for $169 new.The 540p which is MM only is $89 new.Silver or Black cases if you care.Places like Spearit Sound will ship it free as well. 
Why so little Primare gear on A'gon? Bad rep?
Under that logic...lots of Bose gear for sale would indicate it is worth owning (not).....If you really want it, buy a new one. It could be a keeper, which is why there are not many for sale.
