Sokogear I hear you and i have no idea if the P10 is worth it. Its actually one 50 percent with the same Alpheta cartridge. But still.  I read the reviews and the youtube videos and its intoxicating lol. So im like what's another $2k.   I know at ... 
Buying a new TT today
So here's my quick  story.  Always digital -had a cd or bluray player in my home theater using the dac in a variety of pre/pro's.  I live just outside NYC and while hunkered down in quarantine in April I got the itch to go analog and vinyl and set... 
Looking at Focal
Sopra 3 used on sale now. Ebay $18500 Dealer demos.. They would prob take less. 
Best tube preamplifier for under $15k
I'm about to pull the trigger on the LTA z40 intrgrated amp.  Coming from SS or D class, I'm told I will be blown away.  
Turntable and amp combination
Rega. At your budget, the direct drives exhibit too much vibration. Unless you also plan to do some DJ'ing.  
Really need some help finding a full range speaker

Review of Legacy Focus XD
Hey brownsugar, do you still have and enjoy your XDs?  Thinking about getting a pair. Looking out for dealer demos or used.   
Speakers that are a great value!
@b-limo You are quite welcome.  I have 2 submersive HPs and now thinking about the Catalysts 8c across the front HT soundstage, for under $10k I believe nothing comes close.  
Speakers that are a great value!
Check out Seaton Sound. Mark Seaton does some phenomenal powered speaker and award winning sub building at very reasonable prices. His speakers have built in amps with 4000watts of total power.  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
I just bought a turntable, phono preamp and speakers so just starting to build my vinyl collection.  Since I need to justify what I spent to others what classical vinyls have the very best SQ?  
What brand was better than it is today?
How about the question in reverse... what brand is better today than it used to be? I'd pick JVC. Known years ago for their crappy VCRs and stereos, today they manufacture some of the best home theater projectors ever made under 40k.
