A battle between two turntable generations. Which one is the winner?
Why is the price of the Anvil turntable so low when performance appears to be high ? 
Switching to solid state amp?
It is not the point of warm or not warm sound, the point is to achieve harmonically correct and balanced sound. For $10k I would probably get Atma-Sphere preamp with phono and amp. Yes, all tubes. Unless you can jump to Nagra, FM Acoustics, Grypho... 
Interconnect Cables
Purist Neptune is on a warmer side but it is not excessively warm at all. And it is not slow, it is just right. It is also neither forward nor laidback. Connectors are berrilium copper gold plated. Sound stage has an incredible depth and layering.... 
Why do turntables sound different?
To defend Ralph against myself, though I only attack him when he is advertising, he is not alone who thinks that modified Technics SP10-MK III with the right arm, cartridge and phono comes very close to the tape sound. I just wonder if top belt dr... 
Most overrated bands
Any famous band in overrated, I can't think of any one that is not, even Pink Floyd. Some of them are good overall but not as good as their reputation suggests. 
Recommedation for Phono Pre for my modest rig
I would also consider the least expensive phono stage by Sutherland, called Vibe, I think. $900 new, I heard that it is very smooth and sounds real nice. There are no discounts on Sutherlands. It is available on-line with the possibility of return. 
Searching for the most "accurate" speaker (below 15K)
Excuse me, any speaker that has rolled off tremble above 12 khz is  far from accurate, possibly ridiculous, depending on how much. If it is true, I don't understand how they can be taken as something that is worth consideration.  
Interconnect Cables
Purist Neptune single crystal fluid cable would be the first one for me to try. Street price should be about $1500 for 1 meter pair. I believe, comparable Echole or Stage III models are more expensive and more difficult to sell back if you have to... 
Interconnect Cables
Without knowing anything about your system, taste and kind of music you listen to, I'll just list the brands I myself am interested in: Purist Audio, Echole, Stage III, maybe Kubala Sosna and HB cables as well. Some Furutech perhaps too, not sure. 
Why do turntables sound different?
We are not really closer to answering the original question. In essense, the only kind of answer we have so far is they just do sound different. Or, they just color the sound differently and that's why they sound different. The exact science behin... 
Great music few are aware of. Any genre.
rob, that's hard to listen to for me, not that I don't like dark energy stuff.ghosthouse, your #1 and #2 are very nice, #4 maybe too. 
Why do turntables sound different?
Oh no, I don't have Studer, that's my future project, but I am familiar with good tape sound. And I certainly would not get any high-end table without comparing it to the tape. As for proper alignment and calibration, I would leave it to professio... 
Why do turntables sound different?
Yet, there are those who gave up their Walkers and other high end tables and use highly modified Technics SP-10 MK III while claiming this set-up's with various arms and cartridges superiority. I would be happy to compare if I could. Most likely o... 
Help me narrow down some speaker choices
msommers, it might also be that you are very hard to please, that is good but creates problems. Pass are good amps, don't know your source. And to me just about any digital sounds wrong. Still, it is unclear. I don't know your budget but you could... 
Focal headphones. How good?
Nonoise, thank you. I am in no hurry at all, this is for the future. I was also curious of how a famous speakers manufacturer approached that.
