Cannot remove the grills from my Harbeth 30.2XD
I use this magnet puller to remove the grills on my Harbeths. Many used Harbeths come with ripped grills and damaged edges from incorrect removal! https://www.homedepot.com/p/Master-Magnet-100-lb-Pull-Power-Handle-Magnets-96544/203613179    
Is my amp good enough?
@ tomic601 +1!  
What does the "high gain" option refer to when buying preamp tubes
Tube depot charges $2.00 to test the tube. Like I said the gain is the same on all 6SN7s tubes. No test is going to change that! You should give them a call to explain what they mean!  
What does the "high gain" option refer to when buying preamp tubes
All 6SN7s tubes are the same gain! 6SN7 is a dual triode vacuum tube with an eight-pin octal base. It provides a medium gain (20 dB).  
Does a record player make that much of a difference??
@joshindc From your original question it sounds like you don’t think your current table isn’t any ball of fire. My buddy is using a Technics SL-1210GR with the same Dynavector. It sounds great!  The Technics has a decent arm and all the adjustmen... 
Invert ?
That invert switch is a nice feature. My gear does not have that so if I wanted to check out the correct phase I would have to reverse the pos and neg on both speakers. I would have to shut off my amp every time and that’s just not worth the incon... 
Invert ?
 You can hear it. Fortunately, when two signals are badly out of phase, it’s easy to hear. When two similar tracks are mixed, they can sound thinner, tinnier, or harsher, indicating that they have a phase problem.  
Invert ?
This is phase inversion explained. You will not damage anything using it. Some recordings are out of phase. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=invert+phase&docid=603505646016343673&mid=ED5E525FB18531C8C4C3ED5E525FB18531C8C4C3&view... 
Accuphase Bookshelf Speaker Pairing recommend
  @ grislybutter "the Harbeths are overpriced. They are just not the best value for the buck. " Compared to what?  
Accuphase Bookshelf Speaker Pairing recommend
I’ve owned many bookshelf speakers including Harbeth, Spendor, Falcon, etc. My favorite shoe box size speaker is the Harbeth P3ESR. You should be able to find a mint used pair in the $1500-$2000 range. BTW, you will find that many have damaged gr... 
Looking for a great phono pre-amp in the $1000 or less range
+1 Sutherland My friend has one and thinks it’s great! BTW, Many moons ago I had that same arm and table and it was a cut above many others that I've owned!  
Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ?
Are you joking? Or is this just another stupid post?    
WOOD SURROUND for Audio Technica AT120; Technics 1200 and Technics 1210
@elliottbnewcombjr That amazon listing is insane. If you look on eBay those tables can be had for less than $400.00. That one is an older MK 2. The newer SL-1200 is up to the MK 7. BTW, the 10 at the end of the model number means black! This is ... 
True high-end Speakers need a midrange
@deep_333 What model Borresen do you own?
