Jolida 302B speaker recommendation 12/2/2011
Maybe best PSB's used might be best shot. 
Phono Cartridge for Sony PS-8750
Denon DL-110 sounds great on that table with that music.No need to spnd more,unless you just want to lose excess cash. 
Jolida 302B speaker recommendation 12/2/2011
What kind of music? If jazz and classical, Rega R3s sounds great with that amp and acoustic music. 
What component is responsible for dynamics ?
Listen to some Klipschorns. 
Speaker cable advice
Trial and error over decades convinces me 8 to 10 ft is optimal for most speaker cables. 
Rega RS-3
Respond myself, I have most of the usual low-mid price subjects-seemed to like ZU Mission da best. 
Speaker cable advice
I've used Morrows and while they are decent,I find ZU Mission or Libtec better.IMHO 7-8 feet is required foe SC's to sound their best. 
Phelps , NY
Excellent speaker ,a very good deal-GO for it! 
How do we remember 1970s amplifiers?
Apt amp and pre,most realistic sound 4 the buck ever ! 
Merlin VSM MXr vs Thiel 2.4 vs Dynaudio C1
I think Thiel is a poor choice for classical music. 
Integrated Amp recommendation
You might just find out that your 2020 beats any of these. 
Hrrmmm..What a difference..Now must move speakers
Same old story,the variables in audio are so great we dont even know what many of them even are, making this an expensive hobby as trial and error is the only real route. 
What separates should I use for my vandersteen 1c?
If you don't understand and optimize your room acoustics spending 5 K on amplification can be of little help in getting the best out of your speakers.That said both Macintosh and Van Alstine sound good with Vandies. 
Creek Destiny -- Maggies?
I hope you get it going !Maggies are the only speaker where I think raw power is the primary consideration. 
Goertz and Vandesteen
The Aural Thrills Zenith bi-wire SC beeing auctioned now on Agon will blow all comers away under at least a grand,I kid you not.
