SET 45 Amp Driving Dynamic Speakers
Yes, here we do have a profound disagreement. I even believe that only analog tape sounds right. Many do too.

And of course I agree that of the three elements of turntable set-up the table itself is the most important.Say, entry levels Rega and Pro-Ject have okay tonearms but not so good tables. And though I am personally unfamiliar with it - just read ab...

I see. If your system sounds great with digital it would sound beyond that with analog. I know that you know it.

Oleschool, one day it will appear again, you can be prepared. And to make it easier for you - I am not going to hunt it down. Whatever I can afford or find, I will almost certainly concentrate on upgrading my pretty good SS phono to a great tube o... 
Recommend a Cable/Interconnect Set
Are you thinking of pure or mostly silver conductors or pure or mostly copper conductors, or different conductors for different cables depending on where they will be ?

Charles, I took a look at your page. You appear to be into classical jazz a lot. What analogue source do you use, I didn't see any ?

Charles, if I may ask, what kind of music do you mostly listen to ? Classical ? I am very familiar with live classical music especially big orchestra and opera music. I don't listen to it but I know how it should sound. 
Joule Electra preamps and amps. What is your impression?
Rich, you are welcome. 
Can an accepted offer be a lowball offer too?

Oops, new Nottingham Interspace with arm is $2500, that means that the used one's price is right if the condition is excellent and it doesn't have too many hours on it. It might be an older model, I am not sure.

Ami, that's one of the things that I said - two very different systems.Charles, of course I like what you do as well. But that's not all. Even flamenco music requires speed an drive let alone Mahavishnu Orchestra's jazz fusion. Bass is important t...

The additional advantage of Nottingham arm is that wiring goes straight from the cartridge to the phono stage, so you wouldn't need interconnect. And Nottingham wiring is excellent.

If you want to consider new Nottingham, Larry from Hollywood Sound in Florida sells them. I think, it is $1500 new. If you decide to talk to Larry, take note that he likes Moving Coil cartridges and will try to convince you too to at least put tha...

 Terry9,Hearing is believing, but if you never try you will never know. Did you actually try really great cables?By the way, Cottguy, there is Nottingham Interspace turntable with Interspace arm, I presume, for sale here. Price is high and should ... 
Joule Electra preamps and amps. What is your impression?
 Thank you, Atmasphere. It is Michael Green Audio Revolution 80i free resonance speakers. You know, though it is difficult to assess while listening to youtube, that set-up - Classic Audio speakers, your amps, Purist Audio cables and some turntabl...
