Butcher Block Acoustics - What have they been up to?
I've always gotten great service out of them. When I needed to "duplicate" my amp stand, but the feet were no longer made, Jim took care of me big time. Got it all sorted by cross shipping gear. I just unpacked a new platform today.  
LP Vinyl: Quality, Pressing, Label, Weight, Where to Buy ???
@jasonbourne52 nailed it.    
turntable for daughter
I was pleasantly surprised with the Fluance table I bought a few years back. Their top models MSRPs for $499.99. (They even have a model now with a Nagaoka cartridge.) Depending on where you buy in the chain, you can just swap out the platter or c...

Modwright Umbilical cords
I had Pete from Triode build me a cryo-ed umbilical for my Modwright PH 9.0. From the first note, it sounded much better than the stock umbilical. Don't get me wrong, the stock one supplied was high quality.https://www.triodewirelabs.com/Talk to P... 
Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ??
Sorry haven't read the whole thread, but don't forget about room treatment. The best speaker in a bad (acoustic-wise) room, won't sound their best. Best of Luck. 
Best debut album
@tooblue  A very under-rated album. I wish they made more albums. 
DIGIONE SIGNATURE PLAYER
