Best Class A amp with SLAM
Ok, thanks Bo for your reply. Sounds good.

Yes, Jelco makes arms for other companies! And I do believe it's the 750 on the PD-171. But, what's wrong with the 750? it looks like a pretty solid and well engineered tonearm. Anyway, the armless model is cool, but the question is, will the US d...

Well, that's a good way to go. However, most of the good (and reputable)online dealers give you a 30 day money back guarantee, as they should. But yeah, to charge full list is kind of bogus. Perhaps you can haggle with some of them? Anyway, I hear...

Hey Bo, what do you think of the X350.5? I have my eyes on that one. I can't really afford the X600.5 or X1000.5.

That P5 looks like a good preamp. It could be a sleeper.

APOGEE CENTAUR MAJOR VS B&W MATRIX801S2 WHICH IS T
I'd go for the B&W just for the simple fact of better build quality and ruggedness. Arguably more punch and dynamics. However, that ribbon tweeter is hard to beat! 
Looking to get my first amp, speakers and turntabl
You're welcome! That's cool. Basically what Mik971 said. Plus you'll get more dynamics and transparency, imo. However, Bryston is not for everyone. Some say it's too detailed and analytical. Anyway, use your ears and hear for yourself.

Looking to get my first amp, speakers and turntabl
No way Jose to little stand mount speakers. They can't handle amplified rock, period. You can use a sub, but in my experience they never mesh 100 percent. You have a pretty big room, so why not floorstanders? Look at the JBL Studio L890s. Better t... 
SS amp for B&W 801ms2 Emotiva XPA1 or W4S SX100
Go with the Bryston. 
Recapturing the JBL L100 Century
Mapman: I urge you to go and listen to them then. You just might be very satisfied with the results. You can't go wrong, imo. Out of the 3, it is said that the 1400 Array is the best bang for the buck. I didn't get those because of the assembly re... 
Recapturing the JBL L100 Century
I would go with the JBL 1400 Array, S3900, or S4700. Punch that into Google. Or if you wanna get the best, go with the new M2 monitors.
