Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz?

Doozy of an amp question
I would look for an ARC amp to match the preamp you own

Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition
I'd buy a degritter. Very reliable I currently own an Audiodeske Glass which works great, but has had some reliability issues. I also have a VPI 16.5 for heavier duty initial cleaning if necessary for used records. I had a Kirmuss briefly. Foll...

Question on Luxman L-AX550ii balanced inputs
Go to this page, and at the bottom there is a button to download "catalog". Then go to the specifications for the Luxman CL-38uC and read footnote 2. I was unable to post a direct link to the "catalog' in pdf https://www.luxman.com/product/deta... 
Question on Luxman L-AX550ii balanced inputs

Struggling in choosing Bookshelf Speakers and Amp for a Luxman PD-151 M2! Please help.
I agree with the recommendation on a used Luxman integrated amp. I would pair it with the Revival Atalante 3 or 5 depending on how they fit in your room and budget. I owned Harbeth Compact 7 speakers, they were not my cup of tea, but they might b... 
Experiences With The Ikeda Arms?
@rauliruegas  Thanks for the compliment Raul. I also have a Luxman CL-35III which has the original plug in transformers. They may be the same as the SUT in the C-5000A. I do have some SS amplification with a Nagra Classic amp. I usually use that... 
Experiences With The Ikeda Arms?
I have the 12 inch version of that tonearm. Very well made and better sounding than the Ortofon RS-309 D that it replaced. VTA adjustment is very easy with the VTA-06 VTA base. I have mostly moving coil cartridges that like a high mas arm. Mr. Ik...
