Weak ROTEL phono section
Are you sure your preamp has a phono section? If you can use a CD player with the input, it is likely that it is a line level input. The marking may say Phono or Phono/Aux but you may need a phono board option. My Cambridge Audio int. amp has an i... 
Ortofon Windfeld - anyone heard one?
I have the Windfeld in my current analog rig (Merrill-Scillia MS21, Tri-Planar arm, custom phono stage). The sound is the best I have had. I also had the SPU Synergy and the Jubilee in the same system.I would characterize their relative sonic pers...

Are Dust Covers a MUST
Ihcho:We make both plinth top and table top covers. Plinth top sits on the plinth and table top sits on the "table" or rack shelf.If you don't mind the larger size, table top protects the TT better, and people like the fact that it is like a museu... 
Are Dust Covers a MUST
Chasmal et al.:We mounted a B&K accelerometer on the plinth and/or platter and compare vibration with and without the dust cover while playing different frequencies through the system.Vibration is much more with the dust cover on. How it trans... 
Are Dust Covers a MUST
Dust covers not only keep the dust out but also keep wandering hands away. Many of my customers regretted not having a dust cover on when they lost an expensive stylus to cleaning ladies, kids, pets, or even their own loose sweaters.I don't recomm... 
Merrill tables
The government calculation is based on inflation rate of less than 3% a year. I wish that is the case every time I fill up my car. I suspect audio inflation rate would be more because of the small market demand on which high fixed costs have to be...

By the way, here is a page out of a Jeff Day review on 6moons talking about the Heirloom restored TT:http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/leben5/preamp_4.htmlVinh Vu 
Merrill tables
Rlxl:Yes the springs are definitely a worthwhile upgrade. They are machined out of a single metal stock, with double helix counter-wound geometry to prevent binding and swaying. With the flat top and bottom, they are really easy to install too, no... 
Merrill tables
I may be biased because I sell them but I can tell you every customer has been extremely happy with the purchase.Also, the price has been dropped from $9500 to $5995 so it is only 6 times the cost in '84. For that, you get new and much improved co...
