I'd like to hear recommendations for Turntables under $5,000
Thanks Everyone for your suggestions. I like the idea of Michelle and found an Orbe I may pursue.   
Have you moved from tubed amplification to solid state amplification... Why?
Question: What are you using? Please elaborate.  I have both tubes; a Conrad Johnson Classic 120SE and Conrad Johnson MF2500A (SS) and Conrad Johnson Premier 350SA; and Conrad Johnson ET-7 (Hybrid,Tube). Why both, because I can't get away from how...

Without exception Klipsch Forte I, II, III series speakers rock way above JBL’s And I’ve owned the best of those vintage lots.  I have  Klipsche Forte I’s that are original. Bought for $400 from the original owner 1 year ago. I use them for anythi... 
First Tube Amp
First I would like to congratulate you for trying something new. As you may have already heard quality does count so I’m going to tell you it’s a lot better to buy a used high-quality to band that he needs to buy a new Chinese tube amp.So I’m goin... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Sting, Sarde, Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit, been at it since 2pm.  
Recievers, Pre amps and amps.

Looking for speaker suggestions
I have Klipsch Forte series I's and no fatigue at all. Yes there is a big difference from yours to mine. I also use Revel Performa3 F208 (not 206's). Love both of them and I listen to Jazz, contemporary roots country, 70's and 80's rock. Forte ser... 
Where do I start-amp or speakers ?
Source; Amp first its the sound; the heart. Anything else is BS 
Sister's wants music system without the hassles!
I can suggest without a doubt. Conrad Johnson CA150/160SE or CA200 control amps are an amazing buy. Sound is as Reviewers say. Look it up. Price is right for gently used control amp/ all in one. 
Pass Labs 250.8/250.5 or mark levinson 532h
It's been over a year and thought I would just ask and hope you see this. What's your impression now? I too have Revel Performa3 f208's and am looking for a good matching amp. Both of your thoughts were mine 532H and Pass x250.x.  
Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK?
To Those who dare to give the post their verbal thrashing. Get a life. People have different means and tastes, therefore your ever so mighty talking down to whomever, is not warranted. Don't respond if you don't like it. Bow out of the conversatio... 
Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK?
Conrad Johnson CA200:Similar in function to an integrated amplifier, a control amplifier offers the significant potential improvement of eliminating superfluous connections, external cabling, and inter-device connection considerations that limit...
