Opinions and choices for a small speaker for mid sized room.
I can vouch for ProAc Tablette 10. Incredibly detailed, not too bright, can really crank em up if need be. If you're using with a sub, it would be incredible. And they're closed cab, so they can get into tight spaces without screwing up performance. 
Best MC cart for Thorens TP16 MK1?
Thanks all. Appreciate the responses and reviews. Very helpful. For those that asked, I'll most likely be running the cart through a NAD 106 preamp that has a MM/MC stage switch. I also have a Vincent PHO-701 tube preamp (with DIP switches) in ano... 
MC cartridge upgrade for a Schiit Sol (Denon dl-103r) help!
If your tonearm truly is 13g, that's moderate and excellent fit for Denon 103R. And based on the math, it puts you in the sweet spot of roughly 10-11Hz resonant frequency.It should be noted that most Japanese companies measure the compliance of th... 
High End Portable Wireless/Bluetooth Speaker
I would check out Sonos Move. Has wifi and bt, but I don't think it takes ethernet. 
Which would you buy & why?
Class A for best fidelity, but no idea what speakers you're running. I believe in speakers first, then finding the right amp to pair with them.

Sansui au-999Harman Kardon 330cKenwood ka-3500Audiolab 6000aLove them all. Keeping them all.Crown d-75 power amp. Waiting to refurbish then I'll decide whether to keep :) 
Recommendation for amp
I can vouch for the PSAudio Sprout 100...small form factor, great DAC, BT included, excellent clarity and lotsa power. 
Impulse Records: Music, Message And The Moment
I'm listening to this right now. It's really impressive. The song choices are well thought out, fidelity is excellent. I have a couple of the tracks on original vinyl and it's totally on par. However, as an FYI, and it might have just been my copy... 
Recommended cheaper vintage SS Integrated Amps?
I own a KA-3500 and love it. Punches way above its 40 watts and has a wonderfully clean sound. It's often overlooked with people always going to Sansui or Marantz. I also have a Harman Kardon 330c receiver, and I think this is actually warmer than... 
British Integrated Amps
Forgive my comment concerning Scottish/British reference...I meant true English company. But really, isn't everything owned by IAG anyway? :) 
British Integrated Amps
In one of my rigs, I'm currently running Linn Basik/Akito>Audiolab 6000a>ProAc Tab 10. Sounds amazing. But really, that's two former Scot companies and one true Brit. I also have a Rega P1 using Mission 737R speakers that I thoroughly enjoy ... 
Bookshelf/Small Speakers
I've really been enjoying a pair of ProAc Tablette 10. Clean, articulate, great separation...perfect for a smaller room. 
Help Me Improve My Turntable Set-Up
I agree that the Schiit setup is probably holding you back a bit, if you're in a room bigger than a small office. But could there also be an expectation gap here? In one of my systems, I have ProAc Tab 10s, which are close in specs to Harbeth, and... 
Article on Quad 303/33
I've really been interested in a 303/33 setup. I've been looking but not much going on in US...I'd have to buy and ship from someone in UK or elsewhere in Euro. In the end, it's going to be packaged and shipped regardless, but I'm thinking of ship... 
Very small, warm and dynamic speakers
I can vouch for the ProAc Tab 10s. Super clean, articulate, musical, absolutely outstanding for a small room setup. But they're more than your $1000 budget new.
