Atma-Sphere MP-3 Mk. 3.3 vs. VAC CPA-1 MK II or Avatar Super - Recommendations
@hitsofmisses Agreed. However, the reason I suggested the Schiit passive (it has an active JFET option) was because you only have two high-level sources which could be fed into power amp(s). You do not necessarily need a massive preamp or an integ...

I was talking with a ham radio Nazi and he didn’t see the cell phone as a logical extention.....When I'm in an extreme analog and tube moment, I feel the same about DSP reissues and streaming.

I had a boss once who was so ugly, he passed out business cards at bars offering his friendship and walks on the beach. We found a stash of them during an office clear out in an enormous box of french letters.  
Your thoughts about an upgrade
I am curious though about where your Rega P3 is located in a corner and if it will be subject to acoustic feedback. 
Your thoughts about an upgrade
Great advice above. Or you could simply add a REL S3 SHO and dial it in so it's just audible (you don't want to overpower the room) and also be amazed for a lot less effort.

Neil Young - Live in Massey Hall 1971Intimate recording. Really annoying coughing people in the audience. STOP it.Jeez. Side 4 has the mob whistling for an encore for five solid minutes. STFU. 
Amp/ receiver advice for Spendor SP2/3's
These deserve high quality amps and source as other have said.I run a pair of SP2/2 with vintage 35watt tube monos and they sound great. I have also used a brutish 70watt KT88 tube amp and found they responded well to more power. @gjuliani as long... 
New SR Orange fuse ...
Do you have to buy the black and blue fuses first, or can you go straight to orange?I wish I could justify the expense on a fuse... but I can't. However, wrapping masking tape around the glass part of an ordinary fuse yields a good improvement.
