Audiophiles and De-cluttering -- your journey toward both psychic and sonic improvement
Jettisoned about 100 records, 12 components and roughly 500 pounds of books.    A good start yet much more work to be done.   
Audible Illusions Modulus 3A noise
@tubegb     “AI preamplifiers are notoriously hard on tubes and sensitive to tubes that do not have a low noise floor.” Your statement is grossly incorrect. Here is an L3A that is literally on more than it is off. Thousands of hours of usage o... 
Looking for a Replacement for AT VM740ML Cartridge
Tape a nickel to your headshell. Readjust your cartridge settings again. Anti skate, tracking force whatnot. See if it makes it better or worse.

If the amp is using a 3 prong power plug, use a cheater to remove the ground pin to see if it is a ground loop noise.   
Streamer + DAC help: Bluesound vs Eversolo (vs Others)

Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable?
“Is there any benefit to me, given my current amplifier with has no analog pass through capability, to adding a turntable to my system?”   Define benefit….  
A little DAC help
The Legacy Signature speakers really respond well to biamping. If there is an extra amp at your disposal, it may be worth a listen before shelling mega bucks for another component.   
Trends in value of vintage / used audio equipment?
“If it's got meters, tack on a bunch more money than it's worth.” Wish that were true with my Van Alstine modified Dynaco amp from the 70’s. Lol  
Needing DAC Advice
The Freya+ is in your system at this time. It has 3 different gain modes of operation. Before shelling out a pile of cash, try the other 2 modes…   Simply one man’s opinion….  
Is anyone here still into live concerts these days?
“Is anyone here still into live concerts these days?” Since Covid.    Sadly no.    Perhaps the desire will return….
