| Most hyped turntable, tonearm, and cartridge? For me, if I had 10k to spend on a turntable and arm, I like the VPI Prime Signature with their Fat Boy gimbaled tonearm. (Just over 9k)I have a 1983 Technics SL 1200 MKII with a few of the KAB mods.It doesn't compare to my Super Prime Scout. | |
| Modern Bluegrass I've recently learned of a guy named Billy Strings. The guys picks a guitar like nobody's business. He's got solo and colaboration work on Qobuz which then suggests similar bluegrass groups underneath.Happy hunting | |
| Opinions wanted on cantilever alignment @tomic601 I didn't see a lambda version of the Kleos while shopping around. The issue with my cantilever is that it wasn't centered horizontally.If you look earlier in this thread Jonathan Carr explained what was going on with it. | |

| Cartridge recommendations under $2500 The Lyra Kleos is outstanding IMO. Im running one on a VPI Super Prime Scout however it’s $3700. Loading changes are very noticeable, and with my Manley Chinook PS there are many loading options. A bit more than your $2500 budget.Maybe try a Lyra ... | |
| Amplifier upgrade advice under $2000 OP, I have a Parasound A23 driving a pair of Klipsch Forte II in my second system and it is a great match with more than enough power to really make them sing.I'm seeing A23's used for about $700 125w 8ohms 225w 4ohms. Then there is the A21 I see ... | |

| Stupid Mistake jrwaudio.....Well now! | |
| What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it? My favorite piece right now has to be a Lyra Kleos cartridge. I upgraded to a VPI Super Prime Scout but installed my old Ortofon cartridge. When I installed the Kleos, it didnt open the door to high definition sound it Kicked the door in with both... | |

| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- Musical Fidelity has amplifiers with Nu-Vista tubes.

I mention these because they look nothing like a traditional tub... | |
