Volume Control Too Sensitive
Super annoying. Had this issue with several units including a Hafler Dh-101, a Belles preamp, and a Plinius. The units used in my current systems that do not have this issue are Coda 07X, Schiit Freya+ and a Heathkit AP-1800.   
Whats on your turntable tonight?

PS Audio has a fine offering.   
Tuner choice
Congratulations on the Sansui. Tuners are a blast.   
Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile
The Freya + is a very very good unit. For many, it is an end game item.   
How many turntables have you owned?

Di I really need to clean my LP's?
When in doubt, clean it out.   
Mixed Brand Pre-Amp Power Amp Pairings that Work
Keep an eye on impedance matching. 10 to 1 ratio is a good start.   
Streaming vs Physical Media
The sound quality will surprise. Definitely worth a shot.   
Your sub experience: Easy or hard?

I finally got a record cleaning machine. First thoughts.
Congratulations on your purchase. Record cleaning is truly a labor of love.   
HEAVY Platters. Metal or Plastic? Your personal Experiences
More mass = more better. Your mileage may vary. This experience is related to VPI and U-turn tables. The VPI is a sandwich type. The U-turn was an acrylic type.

System Re-Vamp Looking At Pre-Amp and Possibly Amp Options. Any Thoughts?
Bi-amp the JBL. Keep whatever tube unit for the high frequencies. Get a solid state amp, with some grunt, for the low frequencies. Regarding a pre-amp, a Schiit Freya+ would be a perfect transition piece until the endgame unit is decided upon.
