wow... ...Allen just completed the thread. Hell, I'm ordering some replacements for my gear now. LOL. Thank you Master Wright. Heck, I'm going to go listen to my JLTI right now. :)~

80%? Remarkable feet. 
Silverline Face-off: Sonatina II vs 17.5
I have a hard time parting with ANYTHING that gets in my house. And, if my kids dont take up my interests...I promise you, I will be buried with all my equipment. In a un-disclosed location. What? You guys think I'm dumb or something? Thats all I ... 
Advice needed on sub $1000 setup
Bmckenney, you make a good point, though it is backwards in Mark's reality. Obviously, he is not looking to maximize on analog primarily. He wants to upgrade to better components. Treatments will benefit everything acoustically in the future. Wher... 
Jolida JD100 Missing Bass
Also, I'm sorry to hear about the passing of your father. Sometimes I think that we really grow as "adults" when we ultimately experience the death of our parents. I think death is a must in order to appreciate what we have/had in our lives. Somet...

Advice needed on sub $1000 setup

12AY7 reduce further to 50%. 12AU7 reduce to 80%. Though personally I have never substituted any of these for my AX7's.

Thorens TD-124 cartridge?
Good. I have had the 304 on my TD-160 Super before and it was an excellent combination. I had a different arm though (cant remember which). Yours would be a good match. http://www.hifisupply.co.uk/scans/ortofon_catalogue_3.jpg 
Which RCA To Use for VH DIY Silver Interconnects
Oh, here is a little secret if your crazy enough to do it. Are you good with a dremel? Dremel a hole INTO the pin (length wise) through to the other end where you would normaly solder the wire. Solder the wire, but bring the end of the wire to the... 
Thorens TD-124 cartridge?
Denon 304. Very low output though (.18mv I think). MC. You will need min 55db amplification from phono pre.
