Is powerfull Amps only for low sensitivity speakes?

Upgrade from clearaudio concept MC cart
@joegator81 So weird and proof if ever it was needed that systems and tastes vary. I do recollect hearing a delineation between notes as I do going from rubber to vinyl (as a mat) but the graphite damping that removed the smear or clutter between ... 
Upgrade from clearaudio concept MC cart

What’s in your system today that you also had 10 years ago?
I have my London/Decca Super Gold cartridge since the 80s. It's been serviced and had the stylus replaced with a better one. Incredible device. I've also kept my LP12 around but it needs repairs.  
Preamp tubes ran their life?

Solid core Versus Stranded Speaker cables
@digiman14. I am so with you. I used 14 gauge solid core mains Romex as speaker wire and it saw off Clear Day solid silver wire among others which sounded muted by comparison. I have since splashed out on $20 per foot pair 14 gauge OCC copper wire...

I guess if you put 3 inches of rubber in your plinth, you too could have high signal to noise ratios! 
Decision time - Garrard 301 vs EMT938
Is the SME V worth it though? There are a lot of great arms for less. Put the leftover green into cartridge and phono amp.
