Any truth to my feeling that MM carts are possibly better than MC on rock recordings?
@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.

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
Prayers for Al. 
Been away for a while, need some help
Get the get the Blusound Node 2i and you are all set. 
Will a $700 turntable outperform a CD player?
I personally don't think a $700 TT will out perform your cd player.  
Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience
I was getting ready to say Salk until I read your last line. I really thought your description was describing Salk. I'm curious which line it was. Dynaudio makes great speakers also. 
Looking for an integrated amp around 4000 to 5000.
I own the PrimaLuna Evo 400 and it sounds beautiful with my Salk Sound Song3 speakers. I have heard the Mark Levinson and thought it was a good amp also. 
Yet another Integrated vs Separates advice post
If your speakers don't need more power then stick with what you have. If you want to really upgrade then up you price point significantly. 
External DAC connection for Bluesound Node 2i (after "Another streaming newbie" thread)
If you like the sound of the Bluesound without an external Dac then stick with it. I have a 2nd system running that way. I think it sounds fantastic. 
Seems like a lot of folks are putting their Primaluna amps for sale...
I bought the PrimaLuna Evo 400 integrated and have been very happy with it. It makes beautiful music through my Salk Sound Song3 speakers.
