ARC with CJ?
Well, My reason for doing that is I have now a Herron VTSP2 Pre with CJ Premire 350. I also have an ARC VT100ii laying around. I am thinking of getting the ARC Ref.2 to replace the Herron as the VT100 needs balanced input to sound its best.

ARC LS26 performance for $2500-3000?
On VTSP3, I up-graded from VTSP-2 but after a few months, exchanged back to VTSP-2! VTSP3 is not as musical and requires a carful matchup with your power amps. 
Amp for Amati Homage??
Thanks for the comments.It seems that the two amps that I have is not matching very well than! I see it might like a powerful but warmer/musicial sounding amp rather than a neutral/highly deatailed amp. Am I right?

Howabout Cremona M !!!? Is that an upgrade? Looks much smaller than the 3.6? 
Wilson better than Thiels?
Hi Samzx12, I am not sure my room 4 x 6 meters(13.5 x 22fts) is big enough for such a big speaker. As I also owned Audio Research VT100ii, I would like to try a tube friendly speaker for a change.

Harbeth - Audio Research?
I have owned Thiels for many years and using a pairs of 3.6 now. I am thinking of moving to a new direction as I am getting tired of listening only to good recordings. Some recordings sounded terrible on Thiels. I listened to Harbeth once and I th... 
Is your image centred?
Thanks all for your input.To sum up, I have successfully revived my 20 years old turntable. Amazing that it stands its ground against a top CD player. The most useful tweaks in my situation are azimuth setting and a very solid platform underneath ...

I have made some improvements again! It is the null point there was out! I found the template and reset the arm. The overhang may be out but I can’t do anything. The two albums that I listened last night were centred, not shifting around as I reme...
