@jacobsdad2000 So why are you slumming here with us lowlifes?  
Appropriate cartridge for Micro Seiki MA-505 tonearm

Stay with a tube preamp. Checkout Backert Labs! https://backertlabs.com/linestages-no-phono/    
Denon DL-103D compatibility with Jelco TS550L arm
" I'm finding it difficult to determine compatibility with tone arms." Here ya go! Example. I have an arm of 12 g and a Japanese cartridge weighting 10 g, with a compliance of 5cu/dyne/100 Hz. I want to know the RF of the tonearm/cartridge combo... 
Pass Labs Mono Block Question
From the Pass manual! On the X1000 and X600 the two sets of output connectors on the rear panel are in parallel, for the convenience of those who wish to bi-wire their loudspeakers. The red terminal is connected directly to the other red termin...

@vthokie83 That price does not include the stands!  
Single input tube preamp
Quicksilver has been around for over 40 years. Mike Sanders (owner) is a great guy to deal with. I own that preamp and my only beef is that the gain (18db) is on the high side. Another brand worth looking into is VanAlstine. My friend is using th... 
Moving Magnet Phono Cartridges

Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best,
I had these over 40 years ago. Still one of my favorite after owning many others since!! Dahlquist DQ‑10 One should always be wary of pronouncing “firsts,” but, appearing in the early seventies, Jon Dahlquist’s DQ‑10 was to my knowledge the firs... 
Floor to Bookshelf
The Falcon Q7 is an outstanding standmount type speaker. You can get the kit or factory built shipped for well under 2 grand. I have owned them and they are sold factory direct saving you a dealers markup. The soundstage and imaging are great! ... 
My New Year’s Wish for my fellow audiophiles.
And a Happy and Healthy New Year to you too!!  
standby mode
If your preamp has a DC leak it will cause that problem!!
