Looking for an amp that punches way about its weight and I can grow with
+1 @jperry for the Aesthetix Atlas. Superb hybrid amp. Best part is that you can send it in to get upgraded at any time as funds allow. A great long term buy.

Thanks for the feedback @doitwithlife. I'm checking out a DCS Bartok tomorrow and have been listening to an Aesthetix Romulus in my system the past few days.They are both a lot of money. Found that the Romulus didn't move me the way vinyl does alt...

Thank you @soix and @jjss49. That's a great help. Appreciate the input and suggestions. Just starting to get a grip on all this. So much to learn.

@soix can you list some examples that would work well with the Aurender and my system? Thank you.

Thank you for your input. I've not considered the Senior. I'll clarify, I like to play at good levels but sheer dynamic impact is not my biggest concern. That said, I do value bass control and definition of sound.  
Ears hurt when listening after changing speakers
@lourdes I went thru a similar experience recently changing from Martin Logans which I had used for 20 years to Vivid B1's, a very different type of speaker and an entirely different presentation. My ears would hurt. I even went to an Ear doc as I...

Serious turntable popping problem finally solved!!
@sleepwalker65 It's being moved away from the system. It won't be an issue. If it is, then at least I know what's causing the problem and will deal with changing out the radio at that time.  
Serious turntable popping problem finally solved!!
Although, @stttt, you would be amazed how fabulous your system sounds when you cut ALL power except one dedicated circuit! The sound just appears from a far darker background than one can usually hear. It certainly makes you appreciate how importa... 
Serious turntable popping problem finally solved!!

Help looking for dynamic warm romantic sound with detail
It sounds as though OP really wants vinyl going thru tubes. That's the sound I'm hearing him describe. Can't see how digital will get there.  
Serious turntable popping problem finally solved!!
To be clear @millercarbon it was the antenna signal that was causing the issue but it was the battery backup to the device that caused me to miss this possibility when I killed the Master power in the house.Plus side of all this, I have a dedicate... 
Serious turntable popping problem finally solved!!
Thank you so much @Lak, @elizabeth and @jtcf. Yes, huge relief. So lovely to hear my system perform the best that it can. My old Linn has some typical Linn-like issues but it's still plenty musical. Has a Graham Phantom arm and Clearaudio Concerto... 
Serious turntable popping problem finally solved!!
First step @dweller was to isolate that this is the issue. Pretty simple. Disconnect the radio from the antenna and power. Done. Turntable played like a dream all day. It was located a few feet away from the audio (basement) in the adjacent mechan...
