New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)
sorry, but these are the real deal....Tannoy invented the dual concentric driver in 1947....they are Lovely speakers....  
Do Streamer only devices really impact sound quality?
NO! I guarantee my 179 dollar grace digital streamer sounds identical to a big buck over priced streamer in a blind test. It's all bull to sell you something you do not need.  
Digital is far better than vinyl
Sorry you are dillusional....vinyl done right is better.....  
New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones)
šŸ˜Iā€™ll keep my Tannoy Legacy Eatons, now priced at 6k a pair....they sound lovely driven by my Class A Sugden. Ā  Ā   
Turntable question; Does Audio Technica make any good turntables?
Avid makes a nice turntable, also over looked....the Avid ingenium plug and play with the Upgraded metal platter is a good value. The music hall mmf-7.3 is also a very nice table, especially in Walnut with the 2m Bronze. Too bad the price is @ 2k... 
New Project RS2T transport
@lpretiring That would most certainly be a shame considering the level of performance in this relatively affordable product. I can add to this statement and say that it also can be applied to a few other pro ject products, namely the tube box d... 
how much should I spend to get a better turntable than my current turntable?
Should have bought the mmf-7.3 to begin with....a fabulous sounding turntable as is....  
Cartridges, Vinyl, Stylus, Turntable

Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life?
Radio Shack "Realistic" Optimus 10ā€™s....man those things sounded great....one of my first real hifi Loudspeakers. Ā   
Setup Speakers Along Long Wall?
Thatā€™s how my Tannoys are set up, along the long wall...had no choice. Luckily they sound good there. I still have about 5 or 6 feet behind my couch before the back wall.Ā   
Paper cone drivers/natural materials
According to Herb (Stereophile), and Iā€™m sure a few others, a speaker sounds from which it is made, meaning the cone material ..  
Ever Damage A Stylus Using Cleaning Brush?
Been using my old dishwasher stylus cleaner for as long as I can remember...not once have I damaged a stylus while using it.Ā  I highly recommend a 10x jeweler's loupe. It is brighter than say a 20x...it really shows you the status of your stylus. ... 
Chime in if you bought a second table that cost a fraction of your main table.
Own 5 turntables...none of them 7k or whatever, most expensive is the Avid ingenium, followed by my music hall mmf-7.3. Went out and bought a Technics mk7 direct drive, just because. I love it so far ...  
Phono Stage Amp
@cinqcepagesĀ not sure what the 11.1 went for new, but the newest 11.3 is $4999, so yea not a cheapie.  
Turntable advice
Well within your budget, Iā€™d have a look at the music hall mmf-7.3 with the ortofon 2m Bronze. However, this turntable is now up around $1899 (in Gloss black), $1999 (in walnut). I think this turntable provides a lot for your money. Pair it with a...
