Opening Record Store
Red flags popping up all over my friend. 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Kansas/Point of No Return 
Hafler DH-100 - what should this should this sound like?
Neutral sound. Do you think the problem might be in the tone control section which I believe is bypassed the record output?  Try Deoxit spray on the pots, look for an out of spec component in the tone control section. 
Does it matter the wire gauge used in interconnects?
Before you build your cables check out this thread:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/duelund-conversion-to-diy-helix-geometry-cabling I built a short pair of these with 18g vhs copper and Furutech plugs and they sound great.  For years there ... 
The cost of LP's and CD's - an observation
"The great mass of people abandoned the quality of records for the convenience of CD. "In my case, nothing could be further from the truth.  What caused me to pack my bags was the abysmal quality of LP's.  Recall in my college days returning defec... 
Diminishing returns?
I have a Marantz Ruby and it is a fine unit with audible improvements over the SA14s2 I owned prior. A more spacious soundstage was the biggest difference, perhaps a bit smoother with fine detail.  Regarding the issue of redbook CD vs SACD.  I enj...

Your favorite 'concept' album

New Melody Gardot release
Just ordered up on Amazon.  Thanks goodness they are still releasing on CD.  I have enjoyed her music for some time. 
Emerald Physics CS2.3
@pkatsuleas I did not opt for the BOM unit. I think the main limiting factor is that I can only have them out 2 feet from the front wall. I am very very impressed with the nice imaging I achieve with this limitation. Open baffle bass is terribly i... 
Emerald Physics CS2.3
One comment.  I read a number of reviews on the Spatial speakers having limited height to the soundstage.  I am intolerant of that.  I picked up a close out on the EP KC II Pros and I have to say they are killer.  Even close to the front wall they... 
Magnepan 1.7 speakers (asking for a friend)
I had the 1.7's in two different rooms, one larger and one smaller than yours.  In the smaller 13x15' room, they were nearly half way out into the room and I sat right against the rear wall.  Great imaging with bass reinforcement.  In the larger r... 
Cartridge recommendation please...
