My Luxman Integrated has AC Inlet Envy
I did have such problems but not with Luxman.  One intermittent drove me crazy.  The receptacle had a pin break loose and would be push inward as the plug was inserted.  But the pin would be pull back outward when the plug was removed.  Visually i... 
A Thought Exercise: Consolidating Analog To One Table and Two Cartridges
Yes.  That DQX 1000 was a performance disappointment for the money.  But it did accommodate multiple arms. Which I wanted. I ended up Making it Myself.  Turned out an okay performer for the time but did have three arms.

Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older?
Two words.  Getting Old. When I'm driving and scan thru the radio stations, I can't get into the music I hear.  I then stop at HPR (Hawaii's NPR) and listen to the wonderful news of the world.  My "new" music comes from Sampler cd's and random br...

Putting a new end on a XLR cable
Buy new XLRs. Cut and resolder. Being sortah a compulsive excessive, I would do All of them. And being so, I would also peek into the XLR holes on the amp and preamp to match gold to gold, silver to silver pins. Dissimilar metal contact thing. O... 
Learned something new today and it isn't good.
I have not played a CD disk that I would have suspected Not having such de-emphasis.  Like I hear playing a record without RIAA de-emphasis.  Or Dolby encoded tapes.  It's not broken.  You don't have to deal with it.  
Do You Play Or Save Your Best Cartridges
Vinyl is only for my serious listening.  For Background music I have FM, CD's and IPOD on another system. I don't worry about my cartridge or stylus.  I can purchase those anytime. Probably a one better too.   I would hate to have to replace some... 
Power cord length
Isn't the AC power going to be converted to DC in the amplifiers? Oooh... I get it now.  Timed Aligned Direct Current.  Ah, now it all makes sense.
