You might have better luck on a pro audio site where they are more familiar with the products. Being a musician I have some understanding but not really familiar with the equipment. IOW, I’ve never owned it. However many pro pieces are specialized... 
Looking for an amp that punches way about its weight and I can grow with
tubes4hifi amplifier KITs page I don't know how your speakers respond to tubes but these are powerful enough to push them. And they are in your budget. They come in kit and completed form. I bought the ST70 from Bob just to dabble with tubes an...

After checking the suspension you should try a Wall shelf made for the TT. Like this Pro-Ject Wallmount it 1 Turntable Shelf-Audio Advisor This helps to eliminate foot falls since it is mounted to the wall instead of sitting on the floor. Anoth... 
Shipping rates on site always lower
I don't have any magic formulas. But welcome aboard. Shipping is often the hardest thing about selling. Even the shipping calculators often don't get it right. I bought a preamp from a seller which was faulty. Seller was very good about it and pai...

Does Steely Dan sound bright to you?
Spring 2021: Added photos with mixture of deflectors (boards), diffusors (GIK, bookshelves), absorbers (ATS, GIK), and bass traps (Real Traps), along with some DIY (utilizing OC 703, OC R38 pink fluffy). Got this from your system page. Did the pro... 
Do any of you kids , want your system ???

Stylus Cleaning Rituals
Magic Eraser at the beginning of each session. Followed by a stiff stylus  brush then a soft brush. I use Zerostat if needed which I gauge with the hair on my forearm which is very static sensitive. Thereafter the stylus gets cleaned every other s...

Old digital that still kicks butt
Last Friday night as I had a marathon session, I kept thinking that my CD player (Theta Miles) sounded way too good. My vinyl sounds better (as it should) but the Miles is there nipping at its heels. The Miles does not have the high freq extension... 
Right angle wall plug on power cables
I was gonna read that review of Power cables but Audio Bacon certainly doesn't sound very sophisticated. How dreadful a name for an "expert" to put forth. Obviously his education and credentials are dubious. You should be ashamed for supporting su... 
I had a few drinks and bought some speakers, I've now sobered up
I must agree with twoleftears on this. Listen to the Sopras for at least a week. Get acquainted or acclimated to their sound. Don’t be in analytical mode the whole time but relax and enjoy the music. Pay attention to what your feet do. Do they mov... 
Replacement for CJ MF2200
I replaced mine with an MF2500A. Then replaced it with tubed amp and never looked back. But my speakers are 93.5db efficient. I’d say you will need min 60wpc for your speakers. Bob Latino sells an ST 120 w/ 60wpc for around $1800. It depends on yo... 
How much reality do you really need?
How much __________(fill in the blank)  do you need? Its the age old question. A Billionaire needs more $$$. A man with a gorgeous wife cheats on her with a  woman who's looks are nowhere close to looking as good as the wife. A man has a beautiful...
