Best amp for Salon 2
Always heard more good clean power the better with them. High current, high watt, high damping factor is what I would be looking for. I’ve never heard a person recommend a tube amp with these speakers (if you listen loud at all) except AudioTroy a... 
(Hegel vs Luxman) vs PS Audio
That room sounds pretty tough. Not sure you could do enough physical room correction. IMO a good digital room correction would be a game changer. I had a Lyngdorf 2170 in my basement. With room correction on it was the only way to get the sound I ... 
Buzzing from speakers on TT rig
Ok Ralph I tried your above suggestion and it made no difference.    When nothing playing and the volume is turned up a bit there is a descent amount of static through the speakers. If I touch the base with 2 fingers it knocks it out completely a...

What about room correction? Lyngdorf room correction makes a huge difference in a challenging room, I haven’t tried others. I believe that’s going to get you much further than any amp change.

Thanks Ralph. On the Marantz unit the rcas and ground that would normally be be replaceable at the back of the unit go all the way to the phono pre through the tone arm into the cartridge. I’m looking this up and not coming up with anything for a...

Will do thanks. Just left for delayed blizzard holiday. I’ll post next week.    thanks!   
Dac Upgrade

HELP!!!! Newbie looking for a decent 2 channel power amp in the $1,000 range
+1 Odyssey Musical Fidelity. Was a 1k MF 1008 for sale which is just a great deal! Not sure if it’s still available or not but was 6k 12 years ago. Bested a Parasound A21 with tube integrated and a Micromega M100 which I believe was way overrated...

Op What avr will you be using on these speakers?   
Advice for bookshelf speakers
Are you stuck on new?    Something pretty efficient and with a voicing/warmth of its own sine you will powering with an avr. Prob break the WAF rule but Tekton bookshelves would be good in that situation. Nothing is going to sound outstanding unt...

Getting back into venal with a $2,000 budget.
I picked up a Marantz tt15s1 on Marketplace for 700 bucks a few months ago. I’m no vinyl expert by any stretch but it sounds way better than the Project Carbon I had before. With the quality of the cartridge and tone arm even at full retail seems ... 
Tekton Double Impacts
I had DIs a few years ago and miss a lot of the things they did very well and they didn’t really do anything objectionable. Looking at maybe getting into some DIs again or even some Moabs in 2023.
