Need help on phono stage
Have a P6, replaced platter and sub platter with Grovetracer but the best cart I’ve heard on my Rega is the Denon 103 paired with a Herron VTPH2.  
New Herron VTPH 2A versus used Audio Research Reference 2 Phono
The best piece of equipment I have is the VTPH-2, it can make a Rega sound awesome.  
So where do you fall in the spectrum.? Gear or Music?
Great responses but for me if’s all about the music.  
Mc 240 vs. Prima Luna
The Heresy sounds better with tubes, if you want verification go to a Klipsch forum.  I am wondering why you need to add another amp, you already have more than enough power unless your room is the size of an auditorium. They are a very efficient... 
Listening to music I don’t particularly like
I have found that when I listen to music that I like it makes me happy. Tonight I am not happy and some of my of my collection is headed to St Vincent de Paul. Live is too short to listen to music that doesn't make you happy.

Vinyl was the only game in town back in the 60’s I became a member of the Columbia record club if you joined you got 10 albums for a dollar. Tube amp, pre and phono and two turntables. Listening to a Pink Floyd CD right now, digital recordings in ... 
Klipsch Heresy IV vs Omega CAM
Own a pair of the Heresy 4s, they are boxed up in a closet. 7 feet apart is fine but don’t put them against the wall they will sound awful. Three feet away from the wall and put an acoustic panel behind them to prevent smearing, put on some classi...

Record Mats In Combination With Weights
Thanks MC for the Origin Live recommendation I bought both the mat and clamp, Wow the vocals improved, the lows are tight and the highs have expanded.  
Audio Research LS7 - Still a good performer?
I had one for about 20years, it was dependable never had a problem with it, teamed it with a Rogue Audio amp. IMO unless you’re into vintage and not music the new stuff sounds so much better.
