| Turntables A no brainer is a closeout Music Hall 2.2 from Music Direct for $250, you can pay more for a better cart. Used carts are controversial worst than used cars. Anyway I heartily second the Graham Slee Phono stages I had on the the Graham Amp 2 SE ... | |
| SR Atmosphere level 2 RCA opinions You like what you like. My or anyone else opinion is irrelevant. If you want to spend the extra scratch for it it's your business. I like Cardas Goldens (anythings) people criticize them as tone controls I don't give a shist. | |

| Down to 2 speakers & I can't decide, ProAc D48R vs Spendor D9 You really need to hear them. One I have heard but forget, it's a very "polite" speaker somewhat soft at the edges . Do You like that? It may match well with Naim I don't know- that's another question? | |
| Best tube type for biamping mids and up? Then roll your output tubes I like EL 34s The queen of the midrange ! but get the right type. I have used JJ E34L blue glass for years great mids. (Note that is the name E34L) I have also been very happy with the Gold Lion reissues but they don't... | |
| Help with direction Macs and Klipsch are a great combination. You certainly know where you're going. I own my own original 1976 heresys but bought LaScalas (1978) for very little. You should get bigger Klipsch. The LaScalas may not be as good as the Cornwalls I ha... | |
