Teres, redpoint or galibier turntable
Interesting discussion until it went awry. Let's keep it civil gentlemen.Just to add my 2c, I'm in general agreement with the others above, the Galibier would have been my top choice, except that I'm not in the US, so it was a question of support ... 
Want something more forgiving than Vandy 3a sigs
Let me add my 2c.I used to have the 2CE Sig, then powered by a 50w tube amp with lots of current. It sounded greated, but I couldn't get ride of an irritating ringing from the tweeter. My understanding was that the 3A Sig tweeter was supposed to b... 
More speaker or more power
More speaker or not is a question of your room size and acoustics. Generally higher efficiency is a good/better thing in order to get high SPLs easily with moderate power.However, if you like your speakers, I would instead recommend you consider t... 
ModWright Phono
Just an update on the unit:I've been travelling a bit, so time spent listening has been patchy, but recently I've managed to squeeze in more time. Also since the full function preamp was available to me, I decided to try that out.The full preamp h... 
Rel subwoofers
Yes, they are much better, go deeper and with more definition and control. 
Maple platforms
I always thought spruce was the preferred wood for musical instruments, especially if its from the Val de fieme(may have got the spelling wrong). 
ModWright Phono
Hi KevinMy current experience with the ModWright SWP seems to mirror yours - very favourable. The things which stand out about the unit are :a) unusual clarity and low level detailb) excellent musical separationc) very punchy tight bass lines, whi...

Hi JamnperryWhat other phono stages did you compare it with before coming to a decision to buy? Also which cartridge are you using? Thanks. 
Anyone tried Cartridge Man's Conductor linear arm?
I'm surprised few have jumped on the boat, either that or they just want to keep a low profile.My first experience with a linear tracker was with the famed Rockport, don't ask me which version, but it was revelatory. The cart used was a Benz Glide... 
Amplifier for Vandersteen 5A' s ?
You should consider the Sanders ESL Monos, terrific sound. I just auditioned the Quattros with this amp, and it far outperforms anything I've heard out there. The imaging is first rate and the detail retrieval is nothing short of amazing.The rest ...

How would you rate these 2 Channel amps
Sf6966The Sanders amp I mention has no problems with all kinds of music. Up to you. When I tried the amp, it was as if the door to the music was opened, and I was hearing lots of details, excellent depth and bass punch, and the timing of the music... 
How would you rate these 2 Channel amps
I would recommend the Sanders ESL amp over any of the brands listed. There are many solid state amps still trying to get it right. In the past I've always been a firm supporter of good tube gear because none of the SS equipment could as effectivel...
