Whats on your turntable tonight?
@slaw   +6 on an exceptional playlist. Unfamiliar with Glen Hansard so I listened to each track(Youtube) for about 30 seconds and the songs Ghost/Short Life stood out. Will purchase a vinyl copy if the SQ is well above average?

Engineer's Choice-John Eargle Picks His Favorite Demo Tracks(CD 1991) Delos DE 3506. Sets a high standard for SQ and content for a "wintry" Friday night vinyl session.  
Need a big favor picking a preamp
FWIW synergy and enhancing the strengths should be the goal with such a highly resolving system. Since I own an Esoteric C-03/ A-03 I know the house sound, when adding a different brand extreme caution is needed. Logic would be try the Classe prea...

Berlioz-Symphonie Fantastique(CD RCA Living Stereo 1998) kicks off 2024 vinyl night.  
ATC SCM40
If you plan on using the 10x9 room(system post) the ATC SCM 19v2 would be a better choice. I would also upgrade the amp/preamp.  
What to ask when buying used speakers?

Katie Melua-Piece By Piece(CD) One of the standout recordings of the 2000's. A rare Thursday night(1980's) vinyl night follows.  
Why "bookshelf" sspeakers?
@grannyring    Yes, exceptions always exist. The Seawave Acoustic AM 23($20K) might exceed the Totem Element Metal V2($18.5k) but I have not heard a better allrounder for < $20k regardless of speaker size or type. In general the consumer is get...
