Super Tweak for Nottingham Space TT
4yanx,Thanks again! I presently have a Shelter 901 mounted to an Origin Live Silver 250. I now know why this tonearm is creating such a buzz! The Silver 250 is indeed a giant killer! I have heard that you can further improve its performance by rep...

4yanx,Thanks for your response. Time to discard the clamp! Can you please give me some pointers on how to construct my own wall mount? I am moving into a second floor apartment with shaky wooden floors. Thanks in advance.

Benz Ruby 2 v.s. Shelter 901

The obvious choice is the DYNAUDIO CONTOUR 1.3 MK-II. It's dimensions are perfect for your stands, 8" WIDE, 11" DEEP. It is also the best sounding and most neutral of all the other speakers aforementioned. If you have deep pockets, go for the Spec... 
Gamut D200?
The GAMUT is not exactly high current and has problems driving low impedance speakers. This is a minor drawback considering its world-class sound. I have heard both amplifiers and I prefer the Gamut by a small margin. The monstrous PLINIUS, on the...
