Paradigm Persona series
OK just heard the Persona 3f at Axpona and nice midrange and top end BUT bass was muddy and not much definition this even with room correction. Yes it was in  hotel room but didn't do anything for me. 
Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9
Have several friends who own Spendors and always found them lacking that midrange fullness and just to hot on top. Just not my flavor in a speaker YMMV.  
Phono stage recommendations
Personally I've had both the JC3 and JC3+ phono stages and never thought they were anything specialNow use either a GN PH10 or NVO tube  phono stage GN is very versatile. Have never heard the p-x5e so can't comment.

Another vote for Sanders 10e speakers, let all know what you think of them once heard. Once you hear planers it's hard to listen to anything else.

New Gold Note PH 10
@slimpikins5 did you buy your PH10 new and get one of the updated lower noise units? I hear it's 12db lower in noise than the original. 
Martin Logan CLX or 15A- any idea of % discount from official dealer?
I'm not one to describe sound the best BUT once heard you will know what I mean. They are super fast and detailed without being etched sounding. Yes they have a smaller sweet spot but then again most speakers do unless you go for omni's. Since 95%...

Just curious, I love the CLX but it's lack of bass. I've now heard and lust for the Sanders 10e system. Have you ever heard them? 
Seeking advice on several specific MC Step Up Transformers
I owned a JC3 and thought it was noisy now own the PH10 and dead quiet. Yes the PH10 uses opamps. 
Bricasti M1 vs DCS Debussy
OPJust saw an announcement on Mono&Stereo that Bricasti just released a less costly DAC called the M3. No idea of price but might be something to look into.
