Aeris speakers amp
I guess I'm reading all the opinions wrong. The prevailing opinion is that you need alot of power. I don't think a small tube amp is what they are talking about. I own a PrimaLuna 400 and it's great but I doubt its right for that speaker. Try some... 
Amp to drive Focal Kanta 3
I owned the Devialet 400 for awhile. At first I thought it was fine but eventually I found it bright. I think Musical Fidelity makes nice amps in a medium price range. 
When does my class Atoll IN200 A/B integrated switch from class A to class B?
Interesting thread. I've heard the Atoll and it's a great amp regardless. Paired with the Atohm speakers at AXPONA a couple years ago, they were top 3 at the show. 
Why is there no love for Prima Luna?
Since I started following these forums I've discovered there are people that seem to hate the more popular brands. I own a 400 Evo integrated and doubt i could do much better in the system it is in. Speaker selection is always more limited with tu... 
Any truth to my feeling that MM carts are possibly better than MC on rock recordings?
Thanks for the great responses. I have some cartridges to look at.  
Any Bluesound Node2 owners
I have Tidal and just started a trial subscription to Qobuz. They are pretty comparable through my Blusound Node. I’m not sure why everyone wants to push a separate DAC. It sound good stock in my opinion. Somebody mentioned hooking it to a CD play...

@big_greg    Absolutely part of the fun. I'm enjoying the ride and trying to let my ears decide. Sometimes i don't agree with the majority it seems. I will continue to experiment but mainly I just want to listen. Thanks for the input. 
Any truth to my feeling that MM carts are possibly better than MC on rock recordings?
I have not switched the cartridges from one TT to the other. I feel that the PS Audio Stellar phono is a good phono stage to show either cartridge at close to it's best. I guess it would be a lucky break if that's the sound I'm drawn to considerin... 
PS Audio BHK versus Benchmark
You have a great system. Take a break. If you are not happy with the sound it's likely the room.  
Do my Dynaudio Evidence Temptations require more amp?
I picked up a pair of JC 1s and a JC 2BP preamp. So far I would say it provides a touch more detail than the MC452. It's not night and day but i feel it digs a little more from the speakers. 
.2mv vs .4mv out for LOMC into 60db gain phono stage?
I just automatically rule out gear that doesn't fit my other gear. If it doesn't match it doesn't match. There are so many cartridge choices that it seems like a perfect match is easily attainable. 
Will this sensitivity for a MC input on an amp be enough for my cartridge?
I have the McIntosh C50 preamp with phono and it's decent but i just bought the PS Audio Stellar phono stage and received an immediate upgrade in sound.  
Vintage KEF vs new Salk
I have Salk Song3 speakers. i have turned over alot of equipment but never the Salks. I love them. I can't compare to your speakers because I've never heard them. The Salks take some time to build though. 
Update on Audiogon Member Almarg
