Cat Stevens Tea for the Tillerman LP's
I went through a lot of copies trying to find an LP that wasn't overly noisy.I eventually caved and bought a used UHQR and don't regret it, it sounds amazing and is very quiet. 
Interested in Focal Scala Utopias
Pkancel, if the Scala had more mid bass than the Sasha, I would think it would be more difficult to position.In my room, I have to EQ the Sashas @75hz down about 9db to get rid of the hump.I had a quick audition of the Scala today at a dealer, but...

Appreciate the response, Richard. It's good to know you truly do like the music and weren't, um, you know, preaching.I've listened to it all the way through once (and just in my car) and will give it a couple more go-rounds before I truly judge. L... 
BAT NOS Super Tubes
Tried them last night - all 4 pairs. Lots of harmonics flying around the room. :-)I agree that it might be a bit much with 4 pairs. So much sparkle on piano notes that it obscures the base texture of the instrument. Sonic candy if you will.I will ...

Anyone compared BAT Rex vs. Atmasphere MP-1?
I would like to ask Raquel to elaborate on the Rex not being able to be on 24/7. The reason I ask is that I have mine on 24/7 (breaking in new speakers) and you have me worried. :-) 
Thiel 3.7 vs Wilson Sasha
Love to see that list! 
Changing from an XV1-S
DCarol, was there any change in loading or gain on the phono stage when comparing the A90 to the XV-1s? 
Changing from an XV1-S
Don't mean to fuel the fire but I had a VPI table and arm and kept upgrading, trying to get a certain level of sound. I bought everything that VPI offered and the XV-1s as well (I bought Mike's actually).I wasn't happy with the sound and most of t...
