The Luxman looks nice. I have the (now discontinued) Luxman phono stage that I love. I don't know the pin designation on the Luxman balanced connections but they may be different than the US standard that atmasphere mentions above. If you are still thinking Klipsch, check out the new Forte III's but as others said the room is important, if the room is too "boomy" these may be a little much. For turntable the Amadeus is worth checking out-great sound on mine but not at all retro in appearance.
Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening
I'm reeducating myself.... after years of no TT and focusing on just stereo listening.. I had a some early Klipsch Hersey’s and some GENESIS speakers pair with Yamaha receiver and low end turntable 30-40 years ago -- I can afford a higher end setup this days -- so what are thoughts on pairing a luxman l-550axII with Klipsch cornwalls?
I like the Herseys for music in the day.. cornwalls seem to be larger herseys but may well need audtion some of the tower types folks seem to tout..
I still thinking on TT -- but may get a VPI scout or prime -- thinking through the cartridge choices and other things is still a serious education -- recc?
music taster are varied -- jazz to singer vocalist miles davis - linda Ronstadt and a host of others for vocal musics and instruments- soft rock of the 70-80s- to some classical
thoughts -- looking to 15-20K for the refit for stereo listening - but could stretch some if I like the setup
