$150 is a lot for one good recording.  I just spent $162 on David Bowie Box Set Brillant Adventure and it has 18 records in it and all sound pretty clean and a very nice set.  It is getting fairly crazy the prices for these new/virgin/remastered/2... 
Going to replace my Fluance rt85
Thank you @cpdkee. I just recently last night was looking at the Mofi turntables and they seem very nice.  The newer Thorens 1500 and 1600 are out of my price range new but will keep an eye out for used.  For now, I think I may try to upgrade my P... 
Taylor Swift Concert Prices
To me I would not pay 1000 dollars for any event.  Music or sports and I love them both. Some will. I saw U2 play at Woolsey Hall in New Haven for 15 dollars and the band made an announcement at the end of the concert that we could go down the str... 
What to try?
  I am very interested in the R8, the Pathos Classic one Mkiii and the Line Magnetic 805 amp. It is a lot more money so would have to be used. The Muzishare and Cayin amps look terrific  also. Still reading forums etc. am going to demo a Kt88 Lin... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Ian Felice —In the Kindom of Dreams the Jam—Setting Sons Garland Jeffreys—Ghost Writer Tom Waits-Alice Robert Gordon-Are You Gonna Be the One a good night for good music.

Thank you @rfnoise.  I looked closer at the pictures and saw the buttons. I may pull the trigger on that. Thanks for the suggestions.   
What to try?
I am going to demo the Rogie next week. I want to make sure there is a tube sound to that amp and that it is different in a good way to my ears than my AS1200. Is that ARC amp that @rfnoise showed available is the volume and such only adjustable t... 
What to try?
Thank you for suggestions. I have no problem using a separate phono stage. That will not affect my decision on the amp.   
What to try?
That VPI amp looks very interesting as does the Octave  I will do some research  I can not find the Pathos @soix  suggested  I know that Upscale Audio is a dealer and importer and has a 30 or 60 day trial but shipping is on buyer   That is another... 
What to try?
Thank you @grislybutter   I will take a look. Just figured out the hyperlink stuff.   
What to try?
Also. Anybody using the Willsenton R8. I have seen the you tube stuff. Just want to know from real users and actual reliability. Looks well made but no experience with it. Also I wrote the wrong size room I am dealing with it is about 300 sf with ... 
What to try?
I agree with ghdprentis   I heard the Audio Research I50 amp at the same dealer as the Ma252 and it sounded great. Clear defined smooth but with weight. It is too much money right now for me and very rarely see it used. The Yamaha is a well built ... 
What to try?
I have budget of under 3.5 k. Thank you for your responses. This is my first post. Not sure how to respond to each individual post but I will try.  Good idea about phono stage and cartridge. I realize I will need to add phono stage to the other am...
