Review: Purist Audio Design Limited Edition 2013 Power cord
Thanks for taking the time to write this...I've used Purist power cables before...I think I want to try these! 
$18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please
I'll have to echo Lenny's comments above. We both have Nagra PLL's on the Nagra VFS anti vibration plates. I am sure there are better preamps...but this one seems to do almost everything pretty right, little wrong.I did compare it Aesthetix Callis... 
New AMG tt just arrived.

IC to mate with oppo 105: mostly 2 channel

So the 10A is a great table...it will absolutely show you what vinyl is all about. I am assuming your Ayre K1x has a built in phono - if so, I bet it's pretty good.I might try a Lyra Delos or Kleos. See if you can get the deal to knock $500 off if... 
Thoughts on SME 10A
That's a good table It's very well built...will last you forever. What arm is on it? The better the SME arm...the better it will sound...If it has a SME IV.Vi I'd jump on it...Lot's of competition in this range. Does it have a cartridge also at th... 
Advice
Well a lot...but usually a price not commensurate with performance. What's your room like? Where are you speakers placed? Are you looking to spend money or keep this simple?
