Help for my return to vinyl -- $2K rig.
Consider a Clearaudio table; sometimes the Performance DC comes up for around 2K. Great engineering, simple no fuss setup, clean, accurate sound.

Bigkidz, I would be interested in talking to you about upgrades.Can't seem to find your contact info even after I log in.

WP 5.1 vs WP7
Outstanding choice !! Congrats !! I think you will be really happy and satisfied for a long time. Audio Research gear is a great match. Now you can focus on cabling and tweaks to really make your system sing. Your system will be good and satisfyin... 
YG Acoustics Hailey 1.2
Polymer sounds like a good design, steep fourth order crossovers, keeping the midrange crossed over fairly low keeps the woofers out of the midrange, though I'm a little surprised they crossover to the tweeter at a somewhat lowish 2k. Makes the tw... 
How do Ohm Walsh speakers compare to Maggies?
I've had Ohm Fs back in the day and they were good at what they did. Took some power to get them to light up however. I do not care for the current Ohm speaker with the poly/plastic driver(s) (upgrade)(!). They just sound, well, plastic. Just not ... 
Floorstanding Speaker Feedback
Zeljoh, I recently hear the LSA tower speaker (standard edition), with some very good equipment and playback, and although it was OK, I wasn't all that impressed. No real 'errors' to speak of, just a little to polite [ok boring] for my tastes. Not... 
WP 5.1 vs WP7
I would go for the white WP6 if it fits the rest of your decor better. Not sure what your amplification will be, but minor sonic differences can usually be addressed with cabling and tweaks.You will enjoy the speaker playing music more - if you al... 
Musical Fidelity M6pre
For about the same money (or a little less), you can get a Tri-Vista integrated. I have one and it is very nice. Ideally, they should have had the 5703 trivistor tubes replaced by now (the units are 10 years old), which is not difficult, but they ... 
Anyone still using Michael Wolff power cords?
I have a Michael Wolff Carbon 'Source' power cord that I used on my CD player. Very nice. Now if I can only find it - I have moved and it's in my garage somewhere in a box. :-|The CD player just bit the dust so I guess if I find it I may try it on... 
Spendor ST vs. B&W 803d vs. PMC PB1i ???
I have the PB1i and it is outstanding.Casting dispersion [pun] on the midrange dome used, because it may not be an $800+ unit, is distracting. It works great in this design, and is probably a much more sensitive unit requiring less power to 'arriv... 
Anyone using Wireworld Eclipse 7 speaker cables?
Nope. No one. 
Worth doing upgrades to my W4S DAC-1?
I have a DAC-2 DSD and it is outstanding. If you can get the caps and clock mods for $300 I would go for it in a heartbeat. 
Best DAC/preamp for under $2K?
W4S DAC 2 DSD w/femto clock - $1,600, 5 yr warranty, upgradeable if desired. 
EVS modified Oppo 105D
I'm assuming a clear lucite cover provides more of a see through sound quality. :-D
