Heartening to see so many south african audiophiles choose Lamborghinis as their day-to-day drivers

Wet the (whatever) bottle and leave it in the freezer - then nail when it is seriously sub-zero. Failing that Don Julio 1942

TT ground connection would be on phono preamp - this is line level only

All your amps are recognised brands/models - why would you want to modify them, surely you should rather try preserve their originality? After all different amps sounding different isn't that absurd. ST70s are often modified based on the presumption that the front-end (gain stage and...

The best indicators for cartridge wear are: It sounds like crap You itchy to get a new/another one …..problem solved

Smart thinking

voltage gain - because we are considering the voltage signal going into the power amp. Power gain would be half that: A 25W amp is -3dB ‘quieter” than a 50W amp. What we need to know is the power rating of each amp - one amp produces full power with a 1V signal the other needs 2.3V to do the...

Apologies I was assuming both amps were of the same wattage - if so you would need approximately twice the signal into amp A compared to that into amp B for the same amount of power out of both. So 6dB of voltage gain (x2) into B or -6dB of attenuation into A. 50V output is almost certainly a...

Amplifier A will be twice as loud as amplifier B

I would buffer and rectify the signal, convert to DC, then use a comparator to sense a certain level (above vinyl rumble hiss etc) that would trigger the hours meter. Project 38 is one way.

Sense the signal out your phono pre

Bitcoin is a long term investment . . .everyone wants to get into it for quick money. Wise investors of any kind are patient. Price of bitcoin since late 2010 on a log scale (note the "crashes" of 2017 & 2021):

If you’re asking questions here you need to do more research. Read up as much as you can from as many different sources as you can find. From my experience, out of all cryptocurrencies Bitcoin is your safest bet - its the oldest, most established and, most importantly not run or controlled by...
