Top integrated with MC phono section
Everyone thanks for all the options you have listed.  I certainly will check into the T+A HV 3100. 
Most Beautiful Receiver / Integrated - Ever was... ?
I had a Sherwood receiver back in the early 70's.  Nice walnut case and sounded really good.  Why didn't I just keep that simple system?

Matt these speaker are not analytical at all.  They are extremely musical.   You will not have a clue of how good the Gammas are until you seriously upgrade each piece of your system.  As I stated above I went thru the entire process and these are...

Matt I am very familiar with your current speaker and it is a very fine sounding speaker. The Gammas are a much more refined speaker and will improve even more with any upgrades you do to your system.  I have had mine for 7 years now and I feel th...

Inna, Allnic is one to look at thanks.  It would probably impossible to hear each with my speakers.   Phono section in VAC Sigma 160se is rumored a killer.

Thanks for all the replies.  I will look at the Rogue but VAC and Gryphon have very good phono sections for integrated's.  My tubed preamp has a outstanding phono section but I am looking for a one box solution with a high quality MC phono section...

Magnepan 20.7
Sounds like a perfect setting to listen in.  I also prefer near field listening but I think for me it might be my hearing at 63.

Wish I had a room that size.  The 20.7's are wonderful speakers.  Good to see you on Audiogon.

Artisan fidelity Lenco 75.  I own one and it is incredible.  Any Artisan Fidelity table would work. 
What's the deal with idler turntables and do they have a place in modern HiFi?

I have now owned the Gammas for 6 years and like fine aged wine they just keep getting better.  Since my last update 10 months ago I have made a couple of systems changes that have brought up the Gammas to another level.  The first change was in t...
