It was working before I took it apart
Yeah, my RB330 came with the cuing platform a little low - stylus would not totally clear the record when raised. Tiny hex set screw, raised it a tiny amount - all fixed.  
Need emergency help please!
Dude! Wrong forum… but since you are here, you need to unpaid (forget on some divides), and then re-pair. PS maybe just enjoy the ride without distractions? ($0.05 worth) 
An Urgent Hypothetical!
From an early age it became apparent that dbefus85 was not like the other children 😜😂😂😎 
Which subwoofer?
I’m not one to mess with two subs, especially in a smaller room. Bass, below 100-120 Hz appears non-directional. I did not say non-directional dogmatically. The mid-bass and midrange give the sense of directionality, so two subs for this purpose a... 
Recording to test right and left channels...
PS Audio has a great CD/ files with an accompanying book. Check out their Octave Records section. In includes phase checks and much more. Comes as SACD/CD with or without book. Based on your question, this would be a great way to educate yourself ...

If you own quality monitor speakers you want to read this new review
Thanks for the link to the receive…Wait!  There wasn’t one 😜😂😂 
How many of you are digital only systems?
I am still happy straddling the fence with feet firmly planted in both camps.I currently don’t see any good reason to take a stand one way or the other.I enjoy the flexibility of having both.  
Build a wooden crate or use a cardboard box for Amplifier.
The key with any shipping container is to ensure that the contents do not move around.This is a large part of the battle.However if these are going to be shipped, wood crates would be the logic and ground freight versus one of the one of the carri... 
Money Well spent

Best dac under $2500 - comparing build quality and technologies
While not specifically a DAC, the Cambridge Audio 851n is awesome, and only blemished by a shifty app. Streamer by category, is has several inputs and balanced/ RCA outputs. Preamp function is built in, but can  be disabled.
