Luxman L-550ax
Do Genelec's use DSP for the crossover? I have been intrigued by active speakers but I listen to lots of vinyl so DSP is not viable option for me. Neumann looks cool too.

15' x 20' would be the absolute largest room I could hope for. I am in between houses and my last house would most likely be larger than where I'll end up (bigger city smaller house tradition). I would expect a 10' x 15' room or slightly smaller. ... 
Rank choice of three turntables
Elliot, how do you like that Lustre 801? Lewm, any advise on the Victor TT-101? Is there a method of polishing out the discoloration on the side of the platter?  Thanks for all this great information.  
Rank choice of three turntables
Great insight from everyone. I love that set up Elliot!! I wish I had the larger plinth for the Victor table as I have wanted to tryout my 12" VPI Fatboy Gimbal.  I own the JVC QL-10 and it seems to work fine. I have not officially tried it out a... 
Victor tt-101
Thanks all! I contacted with those instructions. I even sent him a picture of me taking off the platter on my TT-71. I thought for some reason the 101 might have a fancy lock switch of the sort. I hope the seller is gentle. I instructed him on how... 
Audio Technica ART9 fans....who's getting this?
For some reason, I really like the look of it. I'm sure it sounds great. I think AT is really a great value in analog.     
Is there an ideal (ish) cartridge output?
Interesting insights from all. Lewm, has heard this before, so I will search for more of his posts, there could be a lot of info I can find out. The low moving mass part of this discussion I have read about before. I would like to try an air-core ... 
Is there an ideal (ish) cartridge output?
I agree. I think that a well-specified phono stage usually solves most of the issues. I think that one can have too much gain as easily, as too little. Another aspect that also got me thinking about this, is when you crank the volume on an input o... 
Good MM cart for AS-212s
Raul, The Sumiko EVO looks interesting! It's output of 2.5 is what the referenced output of the 5650 phono stage.  
Good MM cart for AS-212s
Thanks for all this great info!! I appreciate the mass calculation it makes things more clear. I think the Nagaoka's or Audio Technica's look good. The AT's give me the most choice and seem to be in the range of compliance. I think trying to find ... 
Service Suggestion
Thanks Oregonpapa! I have used Tom awhile back. While he is great, Simi Valley is a bit far for me, as I have an injury. I might just wait and use him because his knowledge of vintage gear is awesome and he's good at what he does. I would like to ... 
Which vintage direct drive?
Sorry for the long delay, injury kept me away. I've decided to mod a Dual 721. It's a brushless DD that is more reliable than most and very simple design with excellent measurements. I will make a plinth and pair this with the Terminator tonearm. ... 
Which vintage direct drive?
I like all these suggestions and advice. Most of the models I listed were 100v Japanese models I realized. I like the idea of the vintage coreless/brushless DD, they seemed to have evolved into developing a more mature drive system. One of the thi... 
Which vintage direct drive?
I just learned that the TT-01 is the Japanese version and the JVC-QL10 is the American one. Is there an issue with using a step-up transformer with a direct drive?
