Magico V2 vs. Q1
Hi Peter - I have no idea of what Magico's profit margin is for the Q1 over the Mini, but I do know the Q1's cabinet is extremely expensive to manufacture, especially compared to the S5 and the upcoming S1. To me, the Q1s are more coherent and del... 
Magico V2 vs. Q1
Magico learned a lot between the Mini2 and the Q1. 
Pro-Ject 2Xperience Classic or Music Hall mmf 7.1
I think you made a wise choice. The MH tables are very respectable at their price points. I'm not very big on aftermarket tweaks, but IMO, the Herbies mat can make a very significant improvement to MH tables. Send it back if you don't like it. Enj... 
Aging and Treble and Income?
What you're hearing on the Monkees' albums are the best LA studio players, so there is some good playing in there. Excellent playing, actually. Not sure I would enjoy listening to those tunes at this point, but to each his own.

The highest note on the piano is at about 4K. If you can hear out to 10K, you're not missing much. I think many speakers are tizzed up to sell well in a store demo. People are always impressed by CD players and speakers with more "detail" and then... 
Upgrade from Rega P3-24 .....
Actually - before you do anything, I would try a Herbies mat. On my old music hall, it made a dramatic difference. The sound was much richer and fuller and it made the tt sound much more expensive. On my Linn, it was a bust. But Herbie offers mone...

Contact USA tube Audio. They are very nice people. 
Cables more hype than value?
Let me add something to the mix. I spent half my life as a professional musician and I was fortunate to get into the NY recording scene very early and I was doing demos in the 80s up at RCA studios and other famous ones as well. I thought I was pr...
