S.A.M. Turntables...
I have seen these and am intrigued by the price as well. I have not seen or heard one of these so my comments should be taken more as questions and not outright dismissal:1- Interesting design. Not the way I would have done it but I'm not in the T... 
Found a treasure JBL L200t3
Yeah, I would love to rey a pair of L300s but they're stupidly expensive now. I'll stick with with the L200T3s for now. I'm still amazed at how good they sound. They don't disappear like the Obelisks, but few speakers do.Mighty easy to listen to, ...

@limomangus - hopefully not. Happy 4th! 
Found a treasure JBL L200t3
Too funny, I just picked up a pair of JBL L200T3s. They are great! The best $800 I ever spent on a pair of speakers. Check lansingheritage.org and hifiengine.com for literature.I have been running Shahinian Obelisks in my living room. After years ... 
Cartridge for vpi Aries scout with jmw9 tonearm
I’ll second the Grado suggestion. I purchased an Aires 1 deck w/ JMW 10 in 1998 and used it as my primary and then secondary deck for several years. I already had a Grado The Reference cartridge and mounted it. Sounded great. I tested several othe... 
Recommendations for electronic crossover.
I have successfully used the DriveRack dbx PA2 LMS (loudspeaker management system) with vintage gear and some modern speakers. It works quite well as an external xover for 2-way and 3-way speakers and is affordable. The only downside is that it re... 
New "World Class" 3C24 amp
Sounds very interesting. How about some pictures? 
Fleetwood Sound Company
I'm not impressed by what I can see on their website. Looks like another newbie "designer" who is offering products that they think looks cool and will appeal to hipsters with more money than sense. Bronze horns and (what looks like) artwork prete... 
Large valve push pull monoblocks- impact/bass
Sorry, I'm confused. Are you asking if a PP tube amp will provide more punch and slam with your LS-50W wireless speakers? 
Expanding questions about tubes in a preamp
Gents, how the hell does adding damping rings change the sound of a tube. Nonsense! If your tubes are microphonic (ringing) adding dampers may quiet them down. If you have a noisy tube it won't help. But it also won't hurt. I have never heard anyo... 
Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ??
@soundchasr - The Larsens may be "funny looking" but they have some advantages:1- they can (have to be) placed right against the wall so placement issues are n/a2- they have high WAF. I had Larsen 4s, 6s, and 8s in the living room at various times... 
Magnepan, Ohm, Spatial or ??
@soundchasr  The three speaker examples you listed have very different presentations of sound. I'm a big fan of omnidirectional speakers and horns (which you did not mention).Besides the Ohms, which are great speakers, I would recommend Shahinian ... 
Sexy singer(s) and/or song(s)
Verging towards politically incorrect: I don't know about sexy, but "I Touch Myself" by Divinyls is about the most overtly sexual song I have heard on the airwaves.When I think sexy music (whatever that means to each of us) I think of performers l... 
Integrated amplifier sound
@arichison, I think you are barking up the wrong tree. ADS speakers are great but they are not known for "slam." If you are looking for exaggerated bass and high SPL you should probably look at different speakers. Vintage JBL or more modern Vander... 
Ojas?
I have never seen the Ojas but I have read about them. There is a trend for local fashionistas in NYC and LA to want to get into the audio business. Retro is cool and these folks buy up and sometime mod vintage gear. This isn't the first guy I hav...
