Set-up with two subs and an integrated amp
All you need is what we call a Line Out Converter or LOC. A simple circuit comprised of 2 resistors drops your Line Magnetic speaker level output to line level. In case you’re interested here is the best circuit diagram and electrical explanation ... 
Does this translate?
does this piece translate to $39,000- worth of electronics, $39k retail translates to $18k wholesale of which maybe $4k is electronics. So that would be a big fat no. 
Are integrated amps technically better than separates?
Not to say the there's not deals on integrated, just not as many. I Wonder why? Price conscious (emphasis on conscious) value buyers tend to think longer term and tend to buy integrated amps. All the advertising, profits, and sales are geared up ...

I thought that voice sounded familiar — Linda Ronstadt on backups! Thanks for the tip. Yeah and on probably his biggest hit Gold, Stevie Nicks!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3KGpIoE5CYHis biggest hit of course would be Daydream Believerhttps://w... 
Are integrated amps technically better than separates?
So I would be interested to see what the answers would be if the OP had specified "at the same price point." Which is why I answered the way I did. These sorts of questions are without qualifiers pure flights of fantasy. The OP at least did quali... 
Shunyata now uses silver ???...
This may be asking too much, too complicated, or nuanced, but charging a lot for something, having it be based on science (or not), and being of value, are all completely separate issues. I realize how much fun it is to pretend its all one big bow... 
Does this translate?
Based on slim evidence, I think he's saying he was a Fuller brush salesman, who if he hasn't sold you should go back to being a Fuller brush salesman. Seeing as this is a $39k piece of gear I would hope for a review and not a sales pitch. Seeing a... 
Are integrated amps technically better than separates?
I'm thinking the integrated could actually be an improvement over separates due to being a more "direct" connection. Taking away the flexibility factor of separates, is my line of thinking correct?It is. To match the performance of a good integ... 
Basis 1400 with Rega arm need new cartridge.
My first table was a Basis, with a Benz Micro Glider on the Graham 2.2 into ARC PH3SE. Then came a Benz Ruby H on the same rig. A very nice and totally worthwhile improvement that retained everything I liked and improved rather than changed. Great... 
Shunyata now uses silver ???...
“Shunyata Research was founded by former military scientist Caelin Gabriel in 1997 with the goal of designing power-line and cable systems that eliminate the deleterious effect noise has on high resolution sound, film, recording and mastering ... 
directional cables?
There is evidence in the form of directional crystal structures, as well as the fact many are able to hear a difference. Either way, evidence. As for theories, there are theories galore. Even though most ten year olds could understand that much, i... 
My record player sounds slightly high pitched
Download and print this free strobe disk and use under fluorescent light to determine if this really is a speed related problem. https://www.soundsclassic.com/ttsdteg.html 
Amplifier or Receiver
What will be best depends almost entirely on what are your priorities. If you are a sound quality buyer then your best option is a good stereo integrated amp. Receivers try and cram too many circuits into too small a space for far too little money... 
Who's done it besides me ?
millercarbon doesn't look like a Stanton on your tonearm  LOLLook closely, Grasshopper. You have eyes yet you do not see.Technics SL1700, Stanton 681EEE. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367#&gid=1&pid=11

The logic in their science is no more.The logic in their science never was. I met the guy, was there at the start, have some of his cables. Not to single him out as they are all like this to some extent- they all know everyone wants a story, as ot...
