Was my friend given misinformation.
Your friend definitely got the “John Voight” edition of an audio system. Lol.   
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?
“Subs are a pain in the pitootie.” 100%  
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.   
Best progressive rock album side
Yes - Fragile  
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.
