Joe Nichols-III(CD 2005) Bill Evans/Eddie Gomez-Intuition(1975 OJCCD-470-2 1990) Pierre Bensusan-Altiplanos(CD 2005) If a Michael Hedges fan Pierre Bensusan might perk an interest. Sunday night vinyl follows with a 1960's theme.  
Seeking a Tube preamplifier
@audioguy85   -1  The Music Hall 25.2 might be fine for a low resolving system but not for a system featuring ML 11A speakers. My educated guess is with his current partnering components the Music Hall would scream “Weak Link” !  
Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?
If there is any validity to the many silly responses, it appalls me how narrow the bandwidth of so-called music lovers.  
How to choose speakers that won't overpower your room?
@zlone   Dealers/sellers always push stand mounts and sub(s) for smaller rooms. Why? They have you set up for an upgrade path and they have already sold speaker stands and subwoofer(s) that are not needed for the room. The question is how serious ... 
Seeking a Tube preamplifier
Stereophile class ratings hold little to no value. A Schitt Freya + would add to the noise floor and would lack synergy over the current Bryston BP 19. ARC/VTL and VAC is where I would start if trying too synergistically match a vacuum tube preamp... 
Phasemation MC
@inca21   I'm always hesitant to judge/comment on a single component due to a system needs to be judged as a sum of parts(components)not an individual component. Back to the Phasemation PP 200, it is an engaging cartridge due to a slightly forward... 
Phasemation MC
I own a PP200 on a Rega P9/RB1000 with an Allnic H-1200 phono preamp using Nordost Heimdall 2 interconnects. Previously had a Goldring Legacy on the same set up. Clarity with a larger and more open(airy) forward soundstage were the most obvious im...

Mike's Barn.
@facten   +1    A plethora of "Red Flags" vigorously wave regarding any level of credibility.  
To refurbish Peter Gunn modded Maggie's or not?
Move on and forward. The 1.7x retails for $5k much better/safer investment than repairs or buying used.  
Mike's Barn.
To criticize Mike's system and music preferences is adolescent and absurd.    
Magico A series vs YG Peaks series and Accuphase Integrated
The Magico A5 is a class leading loudspeaker but very amp sensitive. Japanese made amps are generally not known for "Bass Slam" I would try Gryphon/McIntosh or even Krell despite recent company issues.  
Need to learn about Audio Research
ARC has revealed 6 new modestly priced components. Hopefully they will go back to a cleaner more industrial look and will ditch the ubiquitous meters!
