SPU People: I love my Royal N. Which SPU will I like even better?
Interesting. Which SUT do you use with the Royal N?

Nope it didn't. I'm sort of going back in time now and I'm enamored with the non SPU SL15 and the SPU-TE with the built in transformer. It's tough, once you hear the tone these cartridges produce, to enjoy to the more sterile A95. The Royal N is s... 
SET Distortion at higher volumes?
Not idea really. Swapped in a new arm and it went away. I'm just glad it went away.

Problem solved. Tonearm issue. Thanks, these responses directed me elsewhere.  
Compact ~20WPC Tube Amp
I found one locally Thursday night. It has EL84s because it was modified, a fact I found out after I picked it up. When I have it gone through, I might go back to the original setup.

Dying to find an RM10 but they are very scarce right now. For the time being, I'm starting to play with a Scott 222C, also an EL84 amp @20WPC, just to confirm that more power is what I'm looking for. Seems to be so far.

Thanks Truman- I hadn't thought of going vintage EL84. That's an easy thing to purchase and try out without making a huge financial commitment.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I've had a quicksilver amp and the sound was not for me and the resale value was poor unfortunately. Definitely planning to contact Aric!

I could stretch to $5k but would prefer to keep it under $4K, Wish I could find an RM-10 out there somewhere. There are a couple RM-9s which I've had before and love but the heat they put out is just too much!  
End Game Turntable suggestions
My info is second hand as I know someone who has a Motus II DQ and he's a super high end guy and could afford a way more expensive table if he wanted. He's used heavy arms with SPUs and a Schröder arm as well. If you go to whatsbestforum.com and s...

At 8k you can get an STST Motus table. Kills an Avenger. Kills most tables until you start spending double.  Or rebuilt Garrard 301/401. If you're talking endgame, these are better long term choices.  
Garrard 401 Mounting to Plinth- Isolation Washers?
Great! Thanks for the help

Except what give me listening pleasure and what gives you listening pleasure are quite possibly two very different things. There aren’t a ton of real ice cream flavors but definitely more than one.

Very nicely said @edgewear!

@edgewear Thanks for the description of the Anniversary Models. I just popped for an A95. Hope it's not TOO modern.  Not really looking for something even more modern than my Royal N.... I don't think. Who knows really?  One person's modern may ve...
