Which phono preamps among these three?
Ihcho have you ever heard or considered the NVO brand? I've listened to them and find them just so natural sounding with the best 3D presentation I've yet heard. 
Taralabs cables
But it's just wire! Yes I'm the first to agree cables sound different and power cords can make or break a system but this kind of $$$$ for wire? I have no problem with a 20k amp or a 20k turntable but wire! I just don't get it. 
Taralabs cables
All for just $18,000 / 1m. What a bargain! 
Preamp phono suggestions
NVO One-SE heard one at a dealers and was blown away! 
Taralabs cables
Audiolabyrinth have you actually heard all of the Tara Labs ac cords? If so what are each sonic character? 
Turntable with stable speed.
Ttweights you post this after 2 years from the last post! Wow 
Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors
Melbguy1 you are right I have not heard either of these connectors in my system but have heard both in a friends system and liked the Rhodium better. I'll admit I was generalizing because over the years I have never liked gold plated anything as m... 
Rhodium vs Gold AC connectors
I have to agree with Tbg, never have found gold plating anything to sound tonally to my likening. I'd go with the Rhodium based version although I have not heard either. 
Allnic 5000DAC
I usually go by sound but based just on these specs I wouldn't put this unit on my long list for a listen. 
AMR DP 777 or LampizatOr Level 5
I think the wait for the AMR SE versions has been to loooooong and many customers have moved on (see Sksos1 post above). It's unfortunate because AMR was thought of as one of the top players but as time moves on people forget. 
Stand out phono stages
A good buddy just placed an order for the new NVO se phono unit and there's almost a 3 month wait! They must be doing something right. 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
I've heard much of the best digital (no need to mention names) but every time I listen to vinyl I hear the soul of the music, never with digital. 
Time to blast off from Rhea
DON'T buy a JC3 I had it and it was noisier than a tubed unit I finally went with. (NVO) 
State of the Source: Server, computer....or what?
"We currently have a few lightly used Antipodes servers available as well".Wow I didn't think these forums were the place to sell items, especially by a manufacturer. A bit of crossing the line here IMHO. 
What's the best Dac for the money
I'd suggest the Wyred 4 Sound DAC-2 DSD SE with Femto clock upgrade, all for under 3K.
