| I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage I found ( for your budget and room) some of the best imaging-disappearing act for speakers were the Omega SAM's ( single driver), Ohm's, and many of the dipoles and omni's. I also really liked the smaller monitors by ProAc like the tablets. of co... | |
| Analog or digital ???? I think if you do not have any vinyl then go digital. IMO its not worth it to start out in vinyl with out a record collection already. Also if you have neither then I'd start with digital. All but a very few new (last decade anyway) records are di... | |
| Speaker cable and Interconnect BRASS Connectors Its a strength game pure copper, silver(somewhat) and gold are way to soft to use with out adding something so brass wins the strength to cost to performance game.

| what's a good fm tuner? Magnum Dynalab is probably your best new option. I'd seriously look at used vintage tuners and have it refreshed if needed. Sansui, Kenwood and Marantz are probably some of the best tuners every made. I'd look at that link above from the tuner inf... | |

I can buy a brand new SL1500c for $1499 Canadian so really close to your USA$ Budget why not but new? you get the upgraded motor, etc, so is that better then a 20+ year old one in your budget? Granted i'm not an expert on Technics tables past or... | |

| Audioquest Dragonfly between CD Player & Pre-Amp You may run into issues with movies as the digital signal may not be compatible with your DAC. Any multi channel, as in more then 2, could cause issues. best if you have them both try it. I find on my Blue-Ray player my DAC works on some stuff not... | |
