Need some Cart recommendations, $300 - $700 (New/Used) range…warm, full, yet great def.
Fwiw, I have a similar sound preferences and can speak to many of the carts OP mentioned.  I have an old Thorens TD 150MkII, so similar sprung table with a mid weight arm. I Have owned: Grado Prestige Black - fun, warm, rubs off a lot of defects ... 
Speaker matching for Audiolab 6000A
@fredcdobbs yes looking at Dynaudio Evokes. Thanks. @Nonoise - thanks, on it. I don’t know if YouTube reviewer Terry Ellis is a shill for IMG products in general but he really liked the 6000A and actually bought the EVO 4.2’s recommended above.  
Speaker matching for Audiolab 6000A
@akg_ca got it, no to EVO 4.1 @hoytis ProAc huh.  Nice speakers.  Not my money.  Worth making the suggestion.  
Speaker matching for Audiolab 6000A
Thanks @akg_ca  for the Wharfedale recommendation.  These are interesting possible choice.  A bit over budget - any insight into the EVO 4.1 as an alternative?  
Speaker matching for Audiolab 6000A
Thanks for all the suggestions, helpful. These are not to setup with the rig on my system page. This is for a family member who has their system in a smallish sunroom that is partially open to their living room. They currently use this system for... 
HELP! I bought equipment drunk, don’t know anything.

Best bang for buck integrated amp for $500
@seanheis1 I realize this is a latent thread, but I would like to offer an opinion on the Rega R for the record. I owned a couple of the small amps you list above - the Rega Brio R and the Audioengine N22, plus the NAD D 3045. I generally agree ... 
Whats playing on your system today?

HOW CRITICAL ARE JUMPER CABLES
I have tried a lot of home brew and cheap manufactured versions of jumpers on several speakers.  I have also experimented with attaching single run wires to different terminals on the speaker:  1) different jumpers sound different.  2) price is ir... 
RIP oregonpapa
Very sorry to hear this.  I enjoyed his posts and comments over the years.  Each of us will keep a little bit of him with us as we enjoy the hobby he liked so much and knew so much about. kn  
Power cable education needed
Power cords are funny.  For me, they make a larger difference in the sound of my system than interconnects and speaker cables. Here is why the “last five feet” makes a difference beyond just the wire gauge matching your equipment needs.  The area ... 
Budget tower speakers that rock!
Plus one for anything from PSB, select Klipsch and Polk, or anything used from Monitor Audio or B&W.  
Furutech FP-3TS762 or FP-TCS31
Update on Furutech SO22N for front end use.  I experimented swapping the version I built with F28R connectors for a Black Shadow unshielded, silver-plated and braided wire with Acrolink rhodium connectors, and found I liked the detail and immediac... 
Looking for Linear Power Supply for my Mytek Brooklyn DAC. Suggestions?
@divertiti,Thanks for sharing the link.  I am not familiar with any of those lps brands.  Perhaps the reviewer was trying to compare similar price items?  I own and am currently using three different after market lps to replace the stock switching...
