JA Pulsars vs Harbeth 30.2
I haven't heard the JA's but owned 30.2 XDs for 2 years. They are not thin but they do not rock-out. I don't listen to a lot of classical music but I don't think the small Harbeth's excel when there is a lot going on. Jazz, blues, vocals, acoustic... 
Upgrade From Clearaudio Satisfy CF to Tracer?
@mulveling Geez, yes the Internet is forever, but having to defend a 2 year old post is over the top!  
Recommendations for a phono stage: Gold Note turntable w/ MC cartridge to ARi50.
@relayer101 OP: While the PH-5 is a great choice I’d be very careful buying from goldnoteusa.com (Rutherford Audio) the former GN distributor. It is highly unlikely that anything you buy from them will be covered under warranty by GN and defini...

@mulveling  I don't value a lifetime or transferrable warranty nearly as much as a company willing to reliably work on any of their products 100%. I bought my T+A Integrated used from TMR just a few months ago and I reached out to T+A USA, gav...

@jeffreylee I stand corrected (or the Clarify user manual is incorrect which I doubt) In the photos, the counter weight / VTF adjustment looks the same as the Tracer which I owned prior to the Universal that I have now, but the Clarify manual say...

@mikelavigne exactly - thank you Mike. Have an awesome weekend!  
Tone arm length
@rauliruegas I’m not sure what this means? I can see not really " learning " @dwette @mikelavigne To Mike’s point #3 (2nd post). I ended up with a MSL Signature Platinum analyzed by JR at Wally Tools and installed the cart to those parameters...

Someone mentioned Black Ice / Jolida. I can't speak to their amps but I am really happy with their Tube DAC.

@wsrrsw Glad you had a different experience. From the Rogers User Manual This is a limited warranty, transferable to subsequent owners of the amplifier. The amplifier must be registered after purchase with the Rogers Factory at the indicated ad...

Raven Audio meets and exceeds the OP’s criteria and they are really nice people to do business with. on the other hand… Roger High Fidelity is overpriced even at his 50% off eBay prices, and the lifetime “transferable” warranty is a joke. Transf... 
Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions
@arafiq I checked out the updates, thanks for sharing. I'm not sure what your phono stage is? The Hana ML is a great cart, maybe tough to beat in its price range. Looking at your TT, I think you are just scratching the surface of your vinyl pote...

@jasonbourne71 there is no reason to look underneath the arm to set VTF. He was trying to figure out how the VTF adjustment works. There is a cut-out in the underside of the tone arm to allow for the counterweight to be attached to the internal m...

It’s not an anti-skate issue. How are you “properly adjusting” VTF?  
Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions
@helomech  Was that in an S-76? Yep. I loved that they made you wait for the turbines to cool before powering down. Just a few extra minutes of awesomeness, no charge:)
