???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard???
When I bought my Simaudio 340i, I was auditioning it against the Bryston B135 cubed and Cronus Magnum III.  I picked it because it's really musical, has great current capability resulting in excellent woofer control.  A really neutral, very capabl...

Truly Stunning Vinyl Album
@larryi when I wrote about the disk "Times Gettin' Tougher Than Tough" I messed up on the artist!  The artist is actually Charlie Musselwhite!  So what I should have written is: Times Gettin' Tougher Than Tough, Charlie Musselwhite: Crystal Clear... 
Truly Stunning Vinyl Album
I forgot one: Times Gettin' Tougher Than Tough, Butterfield Blues Band: Crystal Clear Records.  Paul does an insane harmonica solo on the title track.

My recommendations are: Otis Spann is the Blues from the Candid recordings.  Considering these were pressed in the 1960's they still sound fantastic. Otis Spann and His Piano: Otis Spann & Robert Lockwood.  Just as soulful as above.  Its lik... 
Moon 340i and Speakers
I don't know what your budget is, but I highly recommend the Dynaudio Evoke 20 speakers.  I have the Moon 340i too.  I get wonderful smooth high and mid frequencies and surprisingly low bass for such a small speaker. So far I am using the optiona... 
Have you noticed as your system improves?
I have a question related to this topic: My current speakers have a sensitivity of 86db *Dynaudio Evoke 20".  I am curious about getting (and building) the CSS Criton 2TDX MTM which has a sensitivity of 90db.  My question is: "would the increase ...

@dover I emailed Jeff with the questions you posed: Q: Can I order the VTA Micrometer Adjustment on the Classic?  and can I get azimuth adjustment on the Classic? Jeff: I think the best suggestion for you is a new model, the Classic Six, the Cl...

Digging into the past - I listened to Stone the Crows eponymous album for the first time in probably 5 years.  Great stuff!!!

@dover, I have one question about the Classic III.  Is the VTA adjusted via a threaded ring and fixed with the set screw we see in the photos?  How is the VTA adjusted and also where is the azimuth adjusted?

@dover, thank you very much for the info on Audiomods.  The classic looks very much like what I want in that I'll be able to upgrade my IIX to the level of turntable that I want to get for much less $$.  The money I save will turn into more LP's!

On my list of things to get from Oirginlive are the Plattermat and the Gravity One.

Audiomods isn't that much less than the Originlive Encounter.  The current price is 1085 UK pounds.  
Hidden Gems in Classic Rock Albums
1 - Procol Harum - Live in Concert with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra. Salty Dog and Conquistador. Probably the best live recording ever!! 2 - John Mayall - Jazz Blues Fusion.  Country Road. Another incredible live performance. 3 - Linda Ronst... 
Looking for a good system for my apartment. Any advise?
@twoleftears. One deficiency of looking for speakers first is that if the amp you have currently doesn't have the control over the speakers you are testing to demonstrate what the speakers under test are capable of.  Last year I was looking to upg...
