Why do McIntosh come with cheap plastic remotes?
What I hate about most fancy remotes are 2 things:A.To heavy.B. You need some special screwdriver to remove the batteries.  
Spendor and Tubes
My dealer has a combination of Spendor Speakers and Jadis tube Integrated's. Very musical combination. 
Boulder 865 vs. Arye Acoustics Ax-5 Twenty
I would also consider the Plinius Hiato or 9200 w/Aerials. Michael Kelly was recently at my local dealer giving a demo of the 6T and he used Plinius seperates which included the pure Class A Plinius 125 amp. An excellent combo. 
Dynavector DV20X2L Question
My dealer has the VPI Prime as a demo. He's using the more expensive Dynavector XX2 on the tonearm. Excellent match.  
Luxman Audio Gear - what is happening with them here in USA
It's a big plus my dealer dropped Luxman about a year ago because of poor support. W/the new person in charge Luxman is back in his store and some of the prices have actually dropped. 
Avid Diva II SP or keep my Linn
My dealer also recommended by maybe installing a wall mount for the TT. 
Avid Diva II SP or keep my Linn
Did you add a Trampoline? If so what was the improvement? 
Avid Diva II SP or keep my Linn
Did you hear the Diva or the Diva II SP which is twice the price?? Thanks for your input. 
Avid Diva II SP or keep my Linn
My rack is fairly dense. would a lighter table help?? 
Avid Diva II SP or keep my Linn
Thanks for the input. I have a friend that had a Avid Volvere and it was a fantastic TT. I've had my Linn for about 10 years but the cost of future upgrades economically are fairly prohibitive for me. The Linn has a nice sound but even w/the Cirku... 
Tidal free trial subscription
Picked up Tidal basic a few months ago, I enjoy it for casual listening and searching for new artists that I may want to purchase on CD or LP in the future.
