·Very nice, congrats! Looks like it takes a 12AT7, 6BN4A, and some 6AU6's (awesome that Mac keeps their service manuals online) - what are you gonna use? Looks to be in nice shape.
What’s funny is I have two of them, I had both overhauled by Terry Dewick about a decade ago and one is in use in the my office. I cleaned it up and did the led build replacement etc back then- this one just languished on the shelf. So I saw it looking sad and filthy and decided to tear it apart. I noticed the festoon bulbs were shedding their white backed paint so went online to see what bulbs it takes and found a thread that I wrote about the other one back in 2018! Apparently I bought two sets of bulbs- which is don’t remember. So I went into by workbench cupboard into the box labeled “bulbs” and sure enough- there they were.

When I was a poor post-doc I started to bild my components myself. Fell with a really bad DYI crowd.
Results were wonderful!!
I have TERES TT to sell 😎

Not sure many would argue, pretty good discussion on this topic on darko audio podcast at some point in the last year
But as the linked article states, it's all about the mix
"Some vinyl releases are mastered differently than their digital counterparts, sometimes with less compression or different EQ adjustments. This can contribute to a unique listening experience, but it’s not an inherent quality of the format itself."
There are without doubt vinyl pressings that sound superior to their cd/streamed counterparts, that said there are poor, very poor pressings too.
The rabbit hole of DSOTM is a good example of this, it's deep and complex, there are certain cd re issues (japanese) and certain vinyl.pressings (30th) that are a cut above the rest with easily audible differences.
Let's not even open the MSFL can of worms

This is a lot like the tube vs transistor debate too.

·And digital tracking (actually going from mic to mixer to [digital] tape) was right there at the beginning of the 80's a well.
Many hung on to the 24-track 2" analogue machines, but most of the bigger studios went to the MASSIVE digital machines.

··The black sheep in the Spee-ee-eee-eedmaster flockThat has not been my experience...I cannot tell you how many people have told me that vinyl is more "pure" than anything digital, not understanding that digital has been there for far longer than they ever imagined.

··I don't see any option in settings or profileIndeed - what sounds great to one person will not to another. As long as you find what works best for you, that's all that matters.
