The best TT system for under 30K

@uwiikz,I recommend picking up Hana S ($750) or M ($1200) moving coil cartridges. They both are great sounding cartridges that wouldn’t mind keeping it around. 
Reducing my digital noise floor.
I have recently inserted Network Acoustics ENO Ethernet Filter between my router and very happy with the results. It’s probably the best ‘passive’ device out there that effectively lowers the noise floor within ethernet router and switches. I boug... 
Single driver speakers. Are they worth considering ?

Power cable recommendations for wyred 4 sound Sti-Intergrated amp
+2, soix. I use Audio Envy in my system. I would recommend their Ocean Mega 3 for your Integrated. Stay away from Pangea! 
What is the best amp pairing you have personally made with the Klipsch La Scala AL-5

@terry9 Thank you for your post. The grunge you speak of....is that more of a problem with used LP’s or brand new LP as well?

I am not surprised at all with your experience. SimAudio makes excellent sounding electronics, the top of the line are indeed pricey but worth pursuing. Having said that, $20K budget is still a good sum for a very decent system. If you do your res...

If anyone is interested in a elegant record brush that is a far cry from cheap plastic ones sold everywhere, then ramar got a brush for you. I just took my delivery after waiting for two months (long wait caused by Covid-19). The brush features si...
