Your choice - TT, Arm, Stage, Cartridge - $5000 budget
I just wanted to mention the cable from phono to amp. It is very important.

Yup. Choosing table is hard.

I use Acoustech PH-1 with MM cartridge. Excellent phono. Designed by Ron Sutherland. Hard to find used and it is no longer made. Sutherland 20/20 should be at least as good, I have not heard it. But that's transistor phono, you can hear it. Go wit... 
Sonic qualities of SET output tubes?
Ralph, thank you, appreciate your response.So.. 8 ohm average 89db two way speakers with one 8" woofer and 1" tweeter schould work well enough in a medium size room, generally speaking.

No need for Wavac. LAMM ML2.2 would do for many situations. Only $20k or so used.

So..$1.5k for Spacedeck/Spacearm and $2k for the Allnic phono. That leaves $1.5k for cartridge, interconnect from phono to amp and power cord for the phono. Pretty good. You don't need tonearm cable for the Spacearm, the wire goes from the cartrid...

You can tell that this is a great sound, though the base probably doesn't go too low and that it lacks the ultimate authority of much bigger systems. But for a normal medium size rooms it should be just about perfect. However, it's analog source a...

Marrakech video is very nice. Are you familiar with Morocco trans music? I can't say I am, though I heard something. Can't find it right away.
