IMHO, not enough gain in my Phono stage
It sounds to me that you are using a passive linestage or a linestage with no gain or very little gain. I have a Rotel phono stage and when I used it with a linestage with no gain I experienced the same problem. My preamp is a VanAlstine Super PAS... 
Geffen Records lp's
My 2 cents is this. What you are experiencing is poor mastering from the enginer and producer. Many multi-track recordings were poorly mastered by the recording enginers over the years especially in the 80's. It was all about profit and CD's durin... 
Magnepan MMG or something else
I had MG12's in my 13 x 14' room and I initially drove them with a modded Dynaco ST 70. Excellent sound. I wanted more power and detail and I purchased a Moscode 300 and AVA Super PAS3i (VA design not Dyna) and the results were excellent The MG12'...

Review: Joule Electra Marianne Electra Memorial Edition Tube preamp

I have many original Blue Notes as well as Contemporary, Prestige and other Lables too. I have tons of reissues also. Many from the 70's and on the OJC label and other labels. I bought reissues from places like wdcdradio.com soundstage direct.com ... 
I have gone insane, need help
I have heard most of of the tables you are looking at. I think the Linn is the table to have if it's in your budget. The other tables should cost much less with the exception of the Thorens 124. I'm not personally sold on the rim drive method of t... 
amp for maggies 3.6
I would opt for a Hybrid like a Moscode 600 @300w per channel in 8 ohms. The Moscode tubes/mosfet output 150w/chan 9 ohms and I believe they double in 4. If you find one with the George Kaye mods Kudos for you. Mates well with many preamps. Very q... 
Non-functioning Tweeter.
Look on the back of the tweeter and get the model number off it. Go to google and ebay and search for your model tweeter. You can also search for the model CV you have too and you may get a hit there too. Hopefully, you will find someone that has ...
