Shunyata, Kimber or Nordost?
bo1972.....................No offense, but your analogy reeks of pure BS.  I have had both Kimber and Audioquest cables in the past and now I exclusively use all Shunyata cables and power conditioners and my system sounds fantastic and better than... 
Shunyata, Kimber or Nordost?
I use all Shunyata cords in my system and am very happy.  When I was using a Classe model 15 amplifier, I used a Shunyata Copperhead pc and it sounded wonderful. 
Need Power Amp advice
I concur with nordicnorm.

I'm selling speakers for the first time and concerned about fraud
Don't forget, we all started with 0 feedback. 
Any love for the Belles Aria or other recent Belles amplifier?
Check with Johnny R at Audio Connection in New Jersey.  He is a Belles dealer and had the Aria when I last visited in February. 
INTEGRATED CHOICES AND ADVICE PLEASE

Break In Experiences with Anti-Cables level 2.1 speaker cables?

Ground Hum with Rega RP6, Exact and TT PSU.
I would send it back and purchase another brand turntable.  FWIW, I have had 3 VPI turntables over the past 25 years and I  never got a hum from any of them.  I am using a low output mc cartridge (.3mv) and no hum. 
“Invest” in Tekton?
I bought a new pair of Tekton Pendragons (2500.00) September 2015.  After 10 days of listening to them, I had had enough and sent them back.  I didn't pay a restocking charge, but the 295.00 to ship them back really caught me off guard.  Everyone ... 
Amp recommendations with a budget of $675 to mate with...
There is a Phase Linear 700 amp listed which has been updated with new outputs, etc..  I think they are asking around 700.00. 
Which Budget Friendly Floorstanders Next?
There was a pair of Golden Ear Triton 2 speakers posted last week for 1500.00.  The speakers were 3000.00 new.  Not sure they are still available but if they are, they would be your best bet. 
Turntable Dust Cover Option
Looks nice. When I get my dustcover for my Prime from Stereo Squares, I will compare it to yours. Mine was 358.00 with the VPI logo. You are right however, in my case a 4K turntable160.00 power cord, 600.00 cartridge, 350,00 phono cables, 240.00 m... 
Parasound A21 In Mono vs. Parasound JC1's
What speakers are you using and how big is the listening room that would require 700wpc?
