| 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 ... | |

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