Beatles - Blue Album 
Phono stage and Cartridge for Technics 1210 GR
If your budget is $1,500 combined for the phono stage and cartridge, I would recommend the Parks Puffin as others have and a Hana SL cartridge. Yes, the Puffin does an analog to digital to analog conversion, but it sounds great for a $500 phono st...

Very cool Reuben! I'm spinning Spectres now. I picked that and Mirrors up also.

Reuben, one of the local record stores had a bunch of really nice condition BOC records so I replaced some of the ones I had that were VG.

Steve, I needed a thick mat for my SL 1200. I don't use a mat on my VPI classic 2. I thought about getting a mymat but I don't really have a use for it.

Stone Temple Pilots - S/T (2018). Sitting on a Funk Firm Achromat on my SL-1200 MK2. I probably should have played this on the VPI with the Periphery Outer Ring Clamp. It's a little bit dished, but seems to be doing okay on the Technics.  
As Advised, Starting With Speakers First.
@high-amp we should get a pool going on which pair of speakers you end up with! 
What are you streaming tonight?
Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes, Qobuz 
Harbeth 40.2 or Vandersteen Quatro CT
Of all the speakers I've heard, including Vandersteens, high-end KEF, and Wilsons (sorry, don't recall which models), the 40.2s were the ones I loved the most.  I'd keep 'em.
