Does Your Linn Sondek Lp12 Motor and Pulley Get Very Warm After Extended Use?
Mine doesn't. Do you have enough oil in the bearing?  
Canary Audio Preamps Any Good?
If they are any bit as good as their amps, you can't go wrong. I have the M 350 Mono blocks hooked to  a Cary slp 98 p and the combo is excellent.

There will never be a cure for K.D.S. Now that we know our hearing and speakers are N.F.G. I wonder how many of us will look for a roof to jump off of or go out and buy a fantastic pair of 30 dollar speakers. I've already taken a sledge hammer to ... 
Charging A Fee To Demo An Amplifier In A Brick & Mortar Store
No Way. I'd pay more to someone else first just to keep the money out of their pockets. I don't buy homes or cars like that and won't pay for someone to do their jobs. They also miss out on future purchases. I know it's not my name on their licens...

What's the deal with Canary and why have these amps been FS for so long?

Legacy audio Focus se and tubes
I ran A Cary SLP 98P pre with a Cary CAD 120' s driving Whispers and not a problem. Now I'm using 50 watt Canary M350 Mono blocks and again, not a problem. More than enough power. Plenty of bass. 26x12.5x8 room.
