Harbeth 30.2 XD Vs Triangle Magellan Duetto 40th anniversary
Not really sure what amps to recommend, maybe some others here have more personal experience for specific suggestions.

Good luck @kirkwallac, hope you find your grail!  
Harbeth 30.2 XD Vs Triangle Magellan Duetto 40th anniversary
@kirkwallace - I'd suggest auditioning those Revels with your amp since their beryllium tweeter can be a bit ruthless with Class D amplification, similar in that respect to the Triangles.  
Luxman C900u owners
Assuming your sub does not have XLR inputs, select XLR outputs on the C900u and use two XLR-RCA adapters on one pair of L/R XLR outputs to allow connection via RCA to the sub.  
Triangle Magellan Duetto 40th Anniversary
I run the model up, the Magellan Cello 40th Anniversary floor standers. I prefer their golden oak finish which is just as beautifully finished but has a narrower grain pattern and is lighter in tone. They're exceptional speakers, but are so reveal...

XLR connection between Accuphase and Denafrips
You don't have anything to worry about regarding potential damage to your system, it's only absolute phase that would be impacted which most listeners have trouble detecting. If you want to correct it for peace of mind you can simply invert the po... 
Phasemation Cartridge Compliance or Alignment Issue?
Regarding the possibility of the problem being feedback from the speakers to stylus, I don't believe that's what you're experiencing. When such a feedback loop is encountered it's experienced as a growl that increases in intensity until you turn t... 
Phasemation Cartridge Compliance or Alignment Issue?
Record warps typically present as a resonance in the 4 to 6Hz range and are most prevalent in the outer grooves. So as a rule you'd like to keep your arm/cartridge system resonance higher than that frequency range but below the audible bass range ...

Soundsmith Zephyr lll retip
Read a recent owner report that his SS cartridge rebuild took 6 months to be completed, and have a friend who's still waiting on his after 4.5 months despite the estimate on their site being much more optimistic.  
Tidal Akira
@steve59 - Accuton drivers (and particularly their diamond versions) are excellent quality but they can be ruthlessly revealing of any sonic shortcomings in amplification. So it's not that they're particularly hard to drive but they're very demand... 
Digital and Analogue XLR Cables - Is There a Difference?
Actually the spec for XLR cables is their characteristic impedance, which is 110 ohms for digital XLRs but can vary for analog XLRs. Characteristic impedance is the impedance presented by an infinitely long length of a uniform transmission line. A...
