Review: Denon 301 MK II Cartridge
Many years late to this thread, but I also have the 301 II...it's indeed a sleeper, esp at it's price! I've never seriously felt the need to upgrade, 
DO CABLES REALLY MATTER?
I replaced zip cable with Morrows. The only difference? I had less money in my bank account. 
Shure to leave the phono business
I never got the love for Shure. There were many better sounding carts back in the day. 
Golden ear triton 1 vs tekton double impact speakers
I can't believe someone actually said the 1s are bass shy. 
NAD C 275 Bee
I have to defend NAD. I've had several NAD pieces over the years and all have been dependable and sounded great. 
Replacing generic RECEPTACLES
Any excuse to waste money. 
Switching a single set of speakers between two amps
I use the same speakers for both 2 channel and HT....I simply switch cables. 
Nuprime
A rare chance to really sit and listen tonight. My stuff sounds quite good. I do wonder what I would gain upgrading. Especially because my room probably limits things. Ugh...too much to think about. 
Vpi Prime Scout (New) vs Well Tempered
I believe the WT is light years better,

Looking for a used AUDIOPHILE AV Receiver
Way late to this, but I'm about to list a NAD 747 for sale. 
Subwoofer for classical music listener
I'll second what schubert said. I have a pair of Gallo TR3s and they are superb for music in general. (It's just coincidence that I'm selling them. LOL) 
Golden Ear Triton 1 Amplifier suggestions
I just heard the Two+s with a Rogue Cronus...sounded great. I'm getting Ones which I will run with my Anthem 225i. I will even see what they sound like with my Denon AVR.
