Can't compete with Spartan Nocturne, but perhaps an honorable mention: http://www.primare.net/assets/_managed/products/files/Primare_I32_front_angleRGB.jpgAlso, +1 for Nakamichi. https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&sour...

I have an upright piano 4' from my left speaker and nothing to the side of the right speaker for 20'. I cover the piano with an old tablecloth when I'm alone. It helps.

Of course, if it were me, I'd be looking for a used Oracle. 
Help me to choose turntable below 1600$.
I know I've read better reviews somewhere, but I can't find them at the moment. If you can find a seller close enough that shipping doesn't kill the deal, good luck.http://totallywired.co.nz/wax_engine.html

Integrated Amp Upgrade-itis hitting....
I wouldn't buy a new integrated without listening to at least one good class D.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/class-d-is-just-dandy/post?postid=1435239

Best Debut Albums
I just got Carly Simon's Anticipation from MoFi. The SACD layer pretty good, but I would still like the sound of my old LP better if it weren't for the surface noise. I didn't treat it well when I was in college.

Lifters ForGetting Cables Off The Floor, Worth It Or Snake Oil

Integrated Amplifier with the Good Bass and Extended Highs
Primare I32 has more than ample bass and amazing, sparkling highs with no underemphasis of mids/vocals. I think the list is about $3,000. A new I35 is coming out very soon. I was really impressed with the Aria until I heard the Primare.Review: htt...
