New PrimaLuna versus used Audio Research preamp?
ARC for sure , easy to sell if no like it but I doubt it .  
From Benz to?
Maybe you consider miyajima Kansui sweet & natural . Have Gullwing SLR then kansui and now Rua . Pair well with my 3D VPI arm .      
How to choose an upgraded tonearm.
I do own classic 3 and change arm to 3D gimbal . great arm and better with low compliance cart that I have before . fit and finish nice and look better too on classic .  
Moving from Harbeth m30.1 to m30.2 XD
Please let us know how your impressions about the XD ? im still with 30.1 this year and mark the longest speaker to keep .    
Turntable parts upgrade
Get ADS or Phoenix eagle PSU then cartridge ,with VPI metal arm try Dynavector 20X2L great match. stay for a while with your set up then better upgrade whole table rather the only arm or feet etc. is never ending upgrade for VPI.      
I am enjoying my analog system, but what can I do to improve?
Chungjh: we have similar room and in my experience near field is the best option .if you wanna try mix tube pre in your system with Pass try Audio Research ref.    
How important is the cable between the SUT and phono pre?
Try use max 0.5m length. im using Belden 8402 and easy to find on eBay . better than kimber tak phono . Enjoy   
Phono preamp suggestions; can I improve upon my Aesthetix Rhea Sig ?
Skinzy,  Nice table you got there , maybe try add step up tranny to use with MM . im believer for that set up and cost cheaper too depends what brand . Bobs devices have SUT that integrated with VPI mount so no add wires. Enjoy spinning 👍  
Do have anyone to purchase Audio Research REF 75SE in 2021?
Runwell, is true about move from SS to tube is bringing you to close live music. me too have feel that motion . own some Pass and then move to tube gear like AR and stay that way . now use Japan made Air Tight set that satisfied me . enjoy yo... 
To Harbeth or not to Harbeth, That is the question...
Me still have my M30.1 after 5 years .sound right in my small room & with tube gear nothing matter anymore, just music flowing and enjoy listening.cheer  
Recommendations for speakers with Luxman 509x
You want to avoid rear port speaker ,plenty of speaker to choose at your budget .Medium size room also better with 3 way speaker .Me love Harbeth speaker and lot people love that combination and you should able to get the M40.1 or .2 on used market . 
Is there a point of diminished returns with amps and Harbeth 30.1s?
My suggestion save more money and get that LAMM ML1.1 .with same manufacturer you got better synergy and full tube amp Lush .but is hot though, But worth it .
