New Class D amplifiers
Curious if the OP @grantgg has decided on any amp or had a chance to hear any?

Second MC Cartridge Choice.....Tokyo
@rwanda have heard several tines now 2 different MSL cartridges, just wonderful. But if you are looking for more of a "organic sound" I'd be looking at a Koetsu cartridge. Just a thought  
The new Borresen M1's...a new direction?
If it costs 100k and doesn't weigh at least 500 pounds I'm not buying! 😉  
Kumza Stabi S or Rega P10 ??
Still I'd go with the Stabi S and a Stogi arm there's just something about the synergy of a Kuzma table/arm combo IMO.   
Kumza Stabi S or Rega P10 ??
Yes the Kuzma is the more flexible and upgradable for sure it’s also a bit more $$. I believe it retails around 5800 with the external ps but without an arm but don’t quote me.

@grantgg that's a pretty BIG list! What's your plan to narrow your choices? Price? Form factor?  
Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm
@rauliruegas I thought it was a simple question. Since I’ve never used or seen a ViV arm and in the review Mr Gregory said it was difficult to get an accurate repeatable VTF, the question was aimed at those with direct experience, is getting repea...

Thinking about getting some bookshelf/standmount speakers
How about Joseph Audio Pulsar2? I've not heard them but have heard their bigger brother the Perspectives twice now and they sounded amazing. From reviews the Pulsars sound similar but without the low end.
