Storage of other speakers in the room, shorting them while not in use? Myth or true?
You're kidding right?  
Is blasphemous Music ok?
Just in case anyone hasn't heard the unedited song. All the necessary ingredients for a country song are there...just a little, well...

Is it safe to say-Without religion, most  genres of the last couple centuries wouldn’t exist?  
Linn LP 12
Of course I'm kidding. It's just that Linn is a polarizing brand.

Linn- the perfect table to start an internet brawl! The Linns  I have heard did sound nice, but fully loaded-$30K!! That's alotta cabbage! Too many other tables for equal or less. This thread should be a good read.

Depends if it's recorded in digital or analog.  
Angle of Sonus Faber Olympica I stands?
No need to reinvent the wheel... Tilt based on your listening tests. I doubt SF used any scientific  data to use shorter spike in the rear-probably just went to the parts bin and grabbed whatever short and long pointy, threaded thingies they had.... 
Talking about service!
Doesn't surprise me. Time I've spoken  with Peter, I got the feeling he's a good guy. Soundsmith is a first class operation. When I get around to the "final table" a Strain Gauge will be my choice. I keep the $399 Otello as my back up, "emerge... 
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid

School Of Rock---"Highway Star" WOW!!!
Perfect song in a sports car if you're not  listening to the motor sing. The young lady is on the right path.

My "false" statement should have read MISLEADING. It is MISLEADING the OP to state the PL is an amp you buy, only if you spend another $1500 worth of tubes. As mentioned, the OP should spend time at the PL site to get informed.      
Solid state or Tubes preamp phono stage.
sksos-unfortunately, I'm not a user of the NVO-yet. Only been a distant admirer since it was the 15 minute internet darling years back! When I do the next table upgrade, the SPA will be on my list. They seem to be a rare animal on the used market... 
What I really hate about some music
Instrumental(Classical & Jazz) never  get's old. Pop and Rock took liberty in the 70's. Blatant in the 80's-S.O.P from then on. Young demographic genre's won't be popular/listened to otherwise. Maybe beneficial for the short attention spans?

" Plus they can run hot." Maybe this one is a little warmer than others, but small signal tubes compared to power tubes are not space heaters. Average units just 2-4 maybe?    
For Duke Ellington fans
Duke was interesting just listening to him speak
