Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
If it's in your budget, you might want to look at Theta Digital Prometheus Amps (sometimes used pairs come up on Audiogon).  I had them in my system for 6 years and they performed perfectly.  Class A ratings from the hi-fi mags and impressive feed...

Thanks!  I feel like this is the best table I have heard anywhere though, like you, I haven't auditioned the Walker or the like in a realistic (home) situation.  When I ordered the table I did get two additional arm boards to try other arms.  A Mo...
