@chorus.   My turntable is a VPI HW-19 MK4 with a Hana ML running to a Hagerman Trumpet phono pre - which just arrived a few days ago and is breaking in. And yes, Decware is right up the road from me and is always an option. I've visited Steve's w...

Hmm. There's also a pair of Triangle Magellan Cellos for sale here that would be a divorce-inducer if I bough them. But it's tempting.

@kcpellethead.     They should be fine in my room. The room's main weakness is its low, 7' ceilings, but length and width are fine. See virtual system pics:https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/9393http://

@sounds_real_audio To address your questions:1. I loved the Reference 3A de Capos, especially after I installed the BE tweeters. They might possibly have been the best sounding speakers I’ve heard; however, they were in a much smaller room than I ...

You should give Robert Lee a call and ask him. He'd be happy to discuss how his speakers would fit in with the line magnetic 
Speaker cable length
An update: The line magnetic is back from being serviced, and I installed NOS 12AX7s and new 6V6 tubes. Equipment has been moved off to the side, replaced by some musical instruments and a more sound baffling absorbing piece of artwork. As for the... 
A solid tube photo stage around 1500
@tablejockey It was much less than I was willing to pay, but I love this hobby inasmuch as surprises can come when you're not expecting. Like, I was firmly committed to an Allnic 1201 - until I wasn't. And of the Hagerman doesn't do it for me, I c... 
Now they're planning the crime of the century
"Fool's Overture" really sank itself into my musical persona when I first heard it (years after it was released).  
A solid tube photo stage around 1500
An update: after flirting with several Allnic 1201's for sale and failing to buy them in time, I took a plunge on a Hagerman Trumpet - sound unheard based on several recs here and online. With a 30-day trial period, it's a worthy risk. Will update... 
Should I list all my classical CDs?
Okay. I'll pm those who are interested.  
Should I list all my classical CDs?
Thanks, everyone, for your advice. I'd be happy to ship them to someone or Library. Lots of titles from Harmonia Mundi and Musical Heritage Society. I love baroque and early music recordings. I really can't see me listening to classical CDs anymor... 
Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference?
I can't get over how cluttered and sonically distracting his studio is. I mean, no matter what cables he's running through those floordstanders, it won't make a difference to me with all that shyte lying around. No to mention the glass wall. Dude-... 
Classical Music for Aficionados
@schubert I found my copy the other day tucked away in a record store for $6.99. Cleaned it and was impressed by how enfolding the music was, not to mention the organic precision of von Karajan's conducting. https://www.discogs.com/Edvard-Grieg-Be... 
Classical Music for Aficionados
Listening to the Deutsche Grammophone recording of Grieg's "Peer Gynt" with Herbert von Karajan conduting. Superb sonics once I cleaned up the vinyl.
