Nagra VPS phonom stage - how good
I bought a Nagra VPS recently kinda broke even on it when upgrading to Maxx 2's. (swapped for my BAT VKP10SE superpak which is very good) "tapping my toes" was exactly what I was doing and am doing ever since. Hevac1 said it perfectly "...treated ... 
Wilson MAXX 2 vs Watt Puppy 8
Hi, I have a few weeks on my Maxx 2's now. They are clearly a better speaker in every area. The are still wilson's, and the WP's are still great. The Maxx 2's just present more information, everywhere. More dynamic, more revealing, bigger wider de... 
Purist Proteus Provectus tonearm cable.
Sirspeedy:Still LOVIN the Proteus. I have made a number of changes in the last 2 weeks. Wilson Maxx 2 for WP 8's, Nagra VPS for BAT VKP10SE superpak and today new Tung-sol 6sn7's and 6v6's in my BAT amps... 
Wilson MAXX 2 vs Watt Puppy 8
Your getting a killer speaker for a lot less $$'s. I think the only difference is how the grills attach. I'd still have a wilson dealer set them up. Might cost a little... 
Wilson Sophia2, Watt/Puupy 8, differences?
Hi on any good speaker, and especially the Wilsons, your source and other components (pre amps, amps, cables etc) are so very critical.You maybe better off with Sophia's and better source/amps/cables than WP 8's with lesser electronics. If you can...

2K-3K Cartridge for SME10/BAT VK-P10SE superpak
Hi Scott, I misread your original post a little. I now see why a cartridge is the top of your list (I thought you had the xx2 already). And given your new post, a Lyra Helicon maybe a VERY synergistic fit. That coolness I commented about might be ...

Purist Proteus Provectus tonearm cable.
Hi it was the only change (so far- I have new speakers on the way). I had both the Venustas and Proteus together for about 3 weeks. The Venustas sold recently. Went back and forth between the V and PP a few times. Even with the Proteus Provectus, ...
