| What phono preamp are you using? PS Audio Stellar with a wide variety of cartridges. Currently Gold Note Donatello Black. | |
| Cartridge recommendation please... @corelli The MP200 has a nice full range sound. Pretty dynamic. The VM740 is leaner but more detailed. The VM760 has nice deep base and full soundstage. The MoFi is really smooth and detailed top to bottom. They’re both really good all around car... | |
| Phonostage recommendations under $3K Working with the same budget and some of your choices, I recently purchased a PS Audio Stellar Phonostage. So far, so good. Good sound and versatility. It’s my first PS Audio product. 30 day in home trial and I was able to trade in some older gear... | |
| Cartridge recommendation please... No idea about current pricing but close to your budget; Audio Technica VM740 or Nagaoka MP200If you decide to stretch your budget; Audio Technica VM760 or MoFi MastertrackerHave experience with all of them using vintage Kenwood DD TT and newer Tec... | |
| What solid state power amp are you using with your Harbeth Super HL5+ speakers? Anthem STR Integrated. I find the sound to be pretty neutral in a natural vs. dynamic comparison. Think acoustic guitars vs electric. If vinyl is your preference the phono stage in this amp is very good. | |
| Hard of Hearing Audiophile. Very informative, interesting post. It reinforces the repeated advice on this forum to trust your ears whatever their condition. Whether it’s a specific condition such as yours or many others, we all hear differently. +1 your positive experience w... | |

| Really need some help finding a full range speaker I don't have any personal experience with them but the last time I was able to visit a hifi dealer and listen to a number of set ups, the one speaker that left an impression on me was the ProAc D30 (powered by CJ Electronics if memory serves).

| Harbeth Super HL5 plus Break-in I’d say my experience with the 5 plus is pretty similar to the OP. I was not that impressed right out of the box. But over time, I’ve become pretty happy with them. I really can’t tell the difference between grilles on or off. And I do think they ... | |
| Wow an old album that rocked your world The Pretenders first record. Still holds up. Serious attitude. Deserves its place on best debut album lists. The tragic death of James Honeyman Scott seems forgotten in discussions of dead rock stars. He shines on Live at Santa Monica, which was a... | |
| Wow an old album that rocked your world Ann Peebles - I Can’t Stand The Rain (1974) produced by Willie Mitchell. | |
| Do any still use an older high end tuner from the past?.... I don’t believe it fits your SOTA criteria but I’m still using my Yamaha T500. And for some reason it’s been a regular part of the rotation lately. Usually my listening leans towards physical media. | |
| Separates or Integrated? What makes more sense? For 10K, I think I would have to seriously consider separate’s. Hope to get lucky and find some used or demo Luxman gear. |
