| Speaker that are 'KEEPERS" for the long haul!!! I switch back and forth between a set of the original Spendor S3/5 speakers and a set of Harbeth P3 ES2. Both are lovely sounding speakers, if you do not feel the need for subterranean bass. | |
| Favorite religious song "Midnight Choir at the Rescue Mission" - Gatlin Brothers | |
| What phono preamp are you using? SoundSmith Carmen with Icon Audio PS2 | |
| Song (or music) you want played at your funeral. "Thank God and Greyhound You're Gone" (Roy Clark) and "Hot Time on the Old Town Tonight" | |
| "Bookshelf" speakers designed to be placed near the wall behind them? I think the Proac Tablette 10 is supposed to work well when placed near a wall. | |
| Pick A Tube Phono Preamp, but not just any Tube Phono Preamp I have an Icon Audio PS2, which is a stunningly beautiful combination with my Soundsmith Carmen and Audiomods arm. I think Icon gear is still available from Music Direct. | |
| Neat Momentum SX5i or Rega RX5 I use Spendor S3/5 with my LM 211IA, and the sound is very nice in my modest sized room (I have a set of Quad 11L Classics which also work well). I suspect that larger Spendor models would be compatible, and worth a listen if it can be arranged. | |
| Proac Tablette 10 I would like very much to find out how it compares to the Tablette Anniversary and similar models from Harbeth and Spendor. | |
| if you had my system and $2,000 budgeted for an upgrade, where would you spend it? I recently purchased an AudioMods tonearm, which is a drop-in replacement for the Rega. I find it to be a significant improvement over my previous RB300. |
