Warning for Revel lovers
So you are finally getting a refund on a speaker system that was discontinued 2 years ago from Revel which has been sketchy at best, and now you're going to buy an euber expensive highend speaker system from a company that hasn't made highend spea... 
Most beautiful turntable under $5k
Well-Tempered Labs Veralex. It's not so much glitzy as it is beautifully mechanical, not to  mention how good it sounds.  
Where did he go?
Thanks guys. I had no idea. He has knowledge,  but a little bit of the MC mentality. IMO

Hana Umami Red or Lyra Kleos?
Mike. Hope this isn't perceived as sage advice  but maybe you should go with your "gut" feelings. Mount the Kleos to the unipivot and enjoy for now. These "experts" are trying to give you good advice but are only adding anxiety to your learning cu...

Advice needed on MC cartridges
Jim. Great call on the Lyra Delos! I had no idea you could load the Delos with 100 ohms. Definitely a top choice. Can't wait to hear that cartridge again!  
Advice needed on MC cartridges
