McIntosh tubes, enough to drive totem?
I agree it should be fine. Keep in mind McIntosh is always conservative on their amp output ratings. I would suspect that you can add a 10-15% increase for output creciendo demands if not more. 
Album burrs on outside edge.
I see an business opportunity here: A machine that cuts it to a "mysterious" angle and enhances the sound as it would redirect any vibrations that would potentially feed back to the cartridge. And maybe the machine could offer two distinct angles ... 
Krell VS McIntosh
I have listened to Krell with Theil-Vienna Acoustics and PSB speakers. I have owned McIntosh and listened to them with a number of speakers as well. My impression (personnal taste of course) always has brought me back to McIntosh. I feel that the ... 
Record cleaning concentrates
I have tried a number of products. I have settled on the Walker Prelude 4 step system. It is time consuming but it seems to work the best. I hear a clarity that I haven't heard in some recordings. I have tried L'Art Dus, Record Doctor, VPI, Nitty ... 
Esoteric DV50 or SA60 for 2 channel audio ?
The one thing difference that I am aware of is that the SA60 has a newer design transport. They supposedly improved the clamping mechanism and made it much smoother.So I would say that it will sound better. IMHO of course 
Anybody notice DTS is hardly used anymore?
I don't know why they don't use it. I always see it listed in the end credits but they don't use it on the disc. It is the best in my opinion, so it must be a cost issue. Kinda like all DVD players and Sat recievers use TosLink and I prefer coax. ... 
From LP12 to where...?
Thanks for all the feedback, I guess that I would be better off finacially to invest in Linn Table frame or possibly build on in my shop. I have a dealer that doe an excellent job of setting these up. As a fact he has them sent to him across the c... 
Speaker choice for workshop
Nubs, how long does it take to type your response. And you may consider a SawStop before they call you knuckles. Sorry just for chuckles. 
Paradigm Servo 15 picking up AM radio station
So does it make an AM jock sound like an FM jock? Sorry. I have never heard of this but here are a few scenerios. If you have Directv or dish sometimes that can feed it to a household. Mine was in my cordeless phone. Possibly if you have Sat TV yo... 
Speaker choice for workshop
I found a set of energy conniseur 3's at a local dealer thatw ere on close out at half price and they can make the neighbors just as angry as if I had full paid full list. They have good bass and are mounted high so they interact with the ceiling ... 
Album Storage
Kurt TankUnder "T" for "The" using the second "the" not the first "the". Although I have no "the The" albums, but if I did I would use "T" for "The" not "the" as the first response may have confused the situation with The The. 
Kimber from Monster First sound thin Now awesome
I have a question about this stored charge issue. If a cable doesn't store to transmit charge though it's die-electric, why do cable risers have any effect? 
Any opinions on the Lyra stylus cleaning fluid?
When I had my Rega with the Lydian B I used and had no problems. I now have a Troika and use it occassionally.I mainly use the Last Cleaner and Treatment. The Lyra cleaner has a nice brush but not having on the cap is an inconvenience.

Alphabetically, last name of artist or first letter of group name, excluding the word "the " of course.
