Will I Hear A Difference?
I went from the Debut Carbon to a C Sharp and it was a great upgrade. I have very nice electronics that help though. My EAT has superb build quality. The C Sharp is great. I'm not sure about other models.  
Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers
The Chicago dealer doesn't always respond to actual offers. He continues to list items that never sell. I cant quite figure him out either. @cowan217  If you are going to pay full retail they should be falling all over their self to set them up.   
Help with Cartridge choice
Save up and get a turntable first. Some of your description leads me to believe its not great. I would rather have a few hundred dollar cartridge on a good turntable.  
Best TT setup for 2k
Musical Fidelity has a little phon stage that is excellent. It's a few hundred bucks from memory. It has MM or MC. Verdant Audio sold me one. He is a nice guy also.  
Clearaudio Concept TT subpar sound quality
Personally it took me ALOT more money for my turntable system to sound as good or better than my digital. You aren't going to hear this answer much because the analog only folks will tell you you're deaf.  I'm still not completely sure its worth t... 
Dynaudio Evidence Temptation and tube amps?
I think ML like power the same as Dynaudio. I have heard they aren't that tube friendly.   
Focal, B&W or Martin Logan
The Martin Logans are better pulled way out from the front wall. It sounds like that might be the last speaker you should consider.  
Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other
It sounds like you want a set it and forget it table? Look into the VPI HW 40. It is direct drive and high mass. I am a set it and forget it person and this table is that and phenomenal sound. I couldn't believe how big of a step up it was. Sorry ... 
Anyone else treated poorly by AVA?
Asked for the money and returned immediately. Now it's time for the punishment phase.  
Integrated with Built In Streamer
Those speakers require quite a bit of power. Nothing weak.  
Nuvista 800
I would love to but it for 5k. 
Help! New TT skipping badly....
Switch back to the other brands. Simple. 
First full review of the Verdant Blackthorns in Enjoy the Music
Congratulations. I hope to hear them at Axpona if you will be there. You are a good guy and excellent dealer. 
Which Phono Preamp?
I own the PS Audio and like it a lot. I have heard the Pass Labs and it might be better. I would go that route for continuity’s sake. 
Sellers: When do you drop your price?
You will get $900 for it in my opinion. You can get it quickly or get it down the line. It is a good amp though. Hey maybe I’ll buy it.
