They claim:"Unlike some "exciter" devices which add artificial harmonics to the signal, BBE adds nothing artificial but instead restructures it to faithfully allow all the detail and nuance to be heard."

If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile?
I don't care. My Quad ESL57 loudspeakers are not for sale.  
Technics 1200G phono recommendations
A nicely sorted tube phono amp can have a more holographic sound.

Tube phono if using MM. If using LOMC, you'll have SUT or FET in either SS or tube phono amp. 
Some interesting stats from Discogs
Thanks. I've noticed a price hike on used records this year.  
What room treatment product have transformed your room or audio system?
@mijostyn Don’t use those acoustic foam tiles. They sound bad. I had a bunch of them and thought they took the edge off but something wasn’t right. When I removed them, everything sounded nice again. They distort the sound and add a grey harshness. 
Audio Technica AT7V cartridge stylus replacement and/or swap
If it sounds bad and is on its "last legs", you are damaging your vinyl. Are you cleaning your records? If not, buy a SpinClean and a few gallons of distilled water. The VM540ML is a decent replacement.  
Odd problem with TT setup...
@geof3  How did this work out? 
Spendor D9.2 vs. Harbeth super hl5 plus xd + REL Stentor III vs. Spendor Classic 100?
What krens0006 said above. The D7 or 9.2 would likely be all you’d need if you like a lot of detail. The Harbeth and Spender 100 a little less "aggressive."Hold off on the subs (you need 2!) until you get the speakers. See how you feel then.
