POLL: Best $1500 setup
I agree the Klipsch system is best but use the Denon 1912 receiver. Most of us go over budget anyway! 
What causes microphonics in a tonearm?
With my current set up I won't be able to isolate the turntable on a dedicated stand. Is vibration from the plinth more responsible for microphonics then the damping capabilities of the tonearm? 
In need of a powercord
I ordered a couple Opera-Ella Baby powercords on a hunch and was not disappointed. There a big sounding pc with very good dynamics. When compared to my Acoustic Revive-Ref. they lack refinement but are not embarrassed by the AR. Check with Quest F... 
How Black is Your Background?
A "liquid black background" without coloration or frequency emphasis is what i'm trying to achieve. 
NORMA Amps
Just by the build and parts quality Norma 2Mhz deserves more North American interest. From what i've read they add more "body" to the music then Spectral Audio while maintaning speed/detail and lack of coloration. The distributor TMH needs to get ... 
ZYX R100 vs ZYX R100 Yatra
I was wondering the same. I'm getting back into vinyl and the ZYX R100 is on my short list. Hope my post jumpstarts this thread!

Upgrades to Analog System
I agree that the Marantz PM-11S2 is the weakest link. You have a great analog front end and an excellent speaker set up. If you like the polite sound of the Marantz consider a Jeff Rowland Concentra 2 or if you want more power a Coda CSiB. These a...

Narrowing Down the Speaker Search
Read to many posts from respected ears that the Zu is over the top(fake). Never heard a Living Voice but they could be a better match with a tube amp. Listened to a De Capo almost 10 years ago, it was pleasent but overly warm/colored. The Proacs a... 
New but old fashioned looking speakers…
Audes-Maestro 146-156. From what I was told(salesman) they can play very loud without break up. Much closer in sound to a Thiel CS 2.4 then a Vandersteen 3A. Almost bought a 155(previous model) but settled on a more refined looking and room friend... 
Harry Pearson HP No Longer at TAS
HP was an early HEA mentor for me. TAS was at times complex and frustrating but also compelling for a teenager to digest. TAS/HP helped me develop the same appreciation for music as well as fine audio equipment. When an audio publication reaches t... 
Best Song Intro
Gerry Rafferty-Baker Street 
R.I.P. Andy Williams
Always liked his version of "Speak Softly Love". 
Which speakers should I get. $500-$1000
Another vote for the Vienna Acoustic Bach Grand. A Primare I31 would be a cost effective amp match.
