What do you like to see included in a manufacturer's website?
a grid of products. Grid meaning, I know which way is up, lower quality to better, smaller to bigger size, by function, by room, by user. Some sites do it well a 2 click access: access to any part of the web site from another, that’s just prude...

SEEKING ADVICE: Which component would you upgrade first?
@markley what are you missing? Obviously you can start with the speakers, but what are you expectations?  
Stolen property
Because if ownership is established after the fact, you forfeit the goods. that’s the case with cars for instance, but how realistic is it with stuff in your living room? Do I need to worry about everything I bought on craigslist? Out of curio... 
SEEKING ADVICE: Which component would you upgrade first?
@benanders understood. I personally find a record cleaner a luxury investment. I can go to a local stereo shop and use their VPN for 50 cents per record which I do 10 records at a time, every other month. It would take 500 records to recoup that i... 
How important is the efficiency of a speaker to you?
75 Watts is fine for 86dB speakers. (Dynaudio) Just my experience  
Stolen property
reminds me another funny aspect: "how will you buy it? "cash?" "is the money yours?" "?" "I mean you could have just robbed someone on the subway?"

@jastralfu I thought your comment was spot on.  On the subject: doesn't sound like it should be your concern. Imagine if everyone on c2c sales were asking this question. On every listing on craigslist you would accuse people to be thieves. Would...

@benanders  the spindle spinner site is down. For $175 I found it a very costly deal compared to actual "standalone" mess and sink-free and vacuuming record cleaner  
Best monoblock amps for $2000 used
I came across Classe a lot, never heard them but all the reviews I have read were very positive. As I am experimenting, tweaking, I came to believe that a tube + SS combination may be best for my ears and monoblocks is the way to go. (Tube pre mon...

@elliottbnewcombjr half the comments as usual have nothing to do with the OP's question  
Advice on next step for vinyl chain
interesting about the Celestion and subs. Especially that I bought a pair of F3s, haven't heard them yet, but I know they lack the low end. My first great speakers were Celestions 5s, they are still in the family, small but sweet, engaging sound

@dougsat I agree it's a tough question from a small budget. But not impossible. I have been spending $3-500 a year and have made improvements.

@dougsat My brother has those Pioneers. Good speakers, heard them a lot but I would prefer a.... I included a link, did you not see that?  
SEEKING ADVICE: Which component would you upgrade first?
sideways upgrades are good to avoid and from a few 100 bucks, that's what you would get. I would put the receiver and speakers up for sale and see what gets any offers. You can get a lot of incredible speakers that are better than what you have fo...
