If you're looking for music to play when you wnt I've been very satisfied with MOG.com. I pay $5 a month for 320k sound must better than Pandora. 
How Many Turntables Have You Owned
3JVC Quartz Lock direct driveThorens Jubile (TD-147)SOTA Star Sapphire w/ Alphason Xenon 
Odyssey Khartago and Vandersteen 2
Hi, the YBA sounds good but it's 50W into the Vandersteen's 7 ohm load. I have a couple of other amps, Krell with 100W and a Rotel with 200W and they have an easier time running the Vandersteens. I have the speakers bi-wired with Audioquest forget... 
I have owned a Nakamichi PA7 amp. How would you
McCormack DNA-1, Odyssey Stratos would be better choices for a high powered amp. You can find either amp for your price and both can be upgraded in the future to bring them up to amazing products through SMc Audio for the McCormack and through Kla... 
Krell KST-100
I've had a Krell KST 100 in my system for 10 years with a YBA preamp and they work well together. The amp was a freebie from my cousin, he replaced the caps and handed it off to me. It isn't the last word in detail but unlike your Maggies my Vande... 
Sugden amp to pair Harbeth SHL5? Not too thick?
LFD Mk III LE or maybe a YBA Integre 
Belles 150A or keep current amp
Schipo, the KST 100 is a class A/B amp not like the early KSA class A amps Krell sold. Krell claim my amp runs class A to half power then slides into class B for the higher watts. Even when it's warm outside you can always keep your hand on the to... 
Belles 150A or keep current amp
It's a co-op in Manhattan, you have to pay for a large room and if you did you wouldn't be able to afford any stereo equipment. The 2ce are from owning a house and being disabled puts equipment purchases low on the priority list. This is the first... 
easier to drive specifically Harbeth v Vandersteen
Since I live in a small 1 bedroom apartment, folks living above, below and on each side I can't crank it too often, so power was never an issue. I guess I'm more concerned with finding a full sound/low volume speaker. I have a few amp/pre amp comb... 
Reason for selling is...
How about my wife found out I dropped the cost of a Hyundai on a piece of stereo gear and she didn't think it prudent when our mortgage is underwater. 
Best Tube Amp/Preamp combination with Quad 2805s
Music Reference RM-10 with a Quicksilver or Conrad Johnson tube pre. It's a beautiful sounding 35 watt el-84 amp, the best I've heard so I bought one. I listen to the same type of music and I was using YBA solid state and wanted to try tubes. I us... 
Want to replace digital monoblocks VG stereo amp
There's a Belles 150A Hot Rod for sale here for $675. (no affiliation with seller) That might be a nice neutral sounding amp with 125 watts. 
krell amp and preamp keep for life.....
My feeling about equipment is this..find something you like and stop looking and start listening. Are there better amps, speakers, source equipment than what we have, I'm sure. They call it the equipment merry go round for a reason, you can only t... 
Where's the trade off?
If you have the coin I would put the LFD at the top of my list. The LE IV is a match made in heaven with your Compact 7's. I have YBA Classic amp/preamp with my 7's. Both of these amps will make you forget tubes forever. 
Any HiFi equipment sound similar to YBA sonics ?
I've had YBA electronics with Vandersteen speakers for 17 years. Once I put the system together I stopped looking and started to really listen.
