Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm
@pindac has hit the nail on the head surely the point is the enjoyment of music. I don't know about anyone else but when I buy a new piece of equipment I don't give a stuff about the theories, the equations, the technical specifications, the meas...

I have the Viv Labs Rigid Float 9", it wiped the floor against a Kuzma 4point, Kuzma 313ref, SME V and SME V12. So to all the naysayers don't spout off about something you have never heard.

Viv Labs Rigid Float 7". Have heard this against SME V, Kuzma 4Point 9" and Kuzma 313 Reference and it stomped all over them musical, dynamic and engaging and dead easy to set up.  
Preamp with two volume controls?
Audio Note UK preamps.  
Pure Class-A Amp under $2000 (USED)
KRELL KSA 50 or KSA 100, both fantastically musical amps, and when funds permit an Audio Research pre an SP9 or LS2B. I know they are old uns but are good uns, maybe not as detailed as later models but more engaging and less Hifi sounding.
