My analog journey - time for a new phono stage or?
@sameyers1 so I have zero feelings/critique against audiophiles who don’t care about design. In fact you have probably more options since many great sounding brands are not about the design. My sense is that design is representative of culture and...

I heard the Manleys at my audio local store, and they were stunning. I also love the design (that you don't care about) I read Southerland reviews, never heard them.   
Do You Play Or Save Your Best Cartridges
what does a 10,000 dollar cartridge do better than a $1,000 one? I don't know, and I am curious.

what’s wrong with the aesthetics of the JC 3+? Parasound is one of the few companies who cares about design   Most high-end audio components are hideous looking.

Southerland and Manley would be my vote. I have the P3 and I am happy with the Moon 110LP v2

median usually tries to present the way the "average guy" lives (the one halfway up the ladder). It is totally deceptive to clueless people

Speaker suggestions for MC275 Mark VI
I started reading it and thought some of it was relevant. At least you can ping those guys who had tubes Mc and B&W.  I know nothing about McIntosh, other than it's rock solid. I had B&W, wasn't in love with them (just a matter of taste) ...

vinyl is not that good (and I listen 70% of my time to vinyl and I love it) to think cartridges will make such a difference
