Picking up my Prime on Saturday
I picked up my Prime Saturday from Audio Connections.  First, I want to say Johnny R is one of the nicest guys I have ever met in audio.  Plus, His knowledge of music is excellent.  He kept putting on different tracks on various systems and I was ...

John saw a post I made regarding the Prime and he sent me a private message.  I wanted the Prime, having a Scout for 17 years with zero problems.

The speakers will not be in until May/June time frame.  It will be a long wait.   
Looking for speaker base suggestions
I went to a countertop store and bought 2 pieces of 2 inch thick black granite. I had them cut to size and polished for under 100.00.  These pieces were in kind of a scrap pile they had where each one started out as the large cutout for the sink.

Thanks guys.  Yes, the phono stage is in my Rogue RP5 preamp.  It's all tube and has settings for mc cartridge including impedance, output.  It sounds great with my Scout.

You will get there.  I was hoping to work until age 66  but my job is mostly hard manual labor and with Arthritis I really ache most of the time.  After our last snowstorm (we had 3 storms in 3 days)  after I had gone to the school and snowblowed ...

If at all possible, move the speaker a little away from the turntable .  Keep doing it in small increments until the feedback is gone.

Cartridge Dilema For New Turntable
Thanks guys, thats what I thought as well.  Looking forward to the new TT.  I must be out of my mind as I just put a 4K deposit down on the new GE Triton Reference speakers which I should receive late May/early June.  I am retiring at the end of 2... 
Looking to upgrade my preamp, suggestions?
A little over your budget, but I bought a new Rogue RP5 tube preamp for 3500.00 in October 2016.  I like it very much and it gels perfectly with my system. 
Please Help Me Choose a Speaker Cable
After all those years, why is your wife suddenly against the cables you have now?  It looks quite neatly arranged to me. 
DACs - what exactly do these things do?
Your Sony HAP-Z1ES has as good a internal dac as any external dac I have heard up to 2 grand.  I had a Wyred4Sound dac2 dsd se which was 2500.00 and I like the sound of the Sony internal dac better.

What Will Happen to Your Music Collection and Equipment When You.......
Since I have 2 systems, I will leave one to my son and one to my daughter.  They can go through my music collection and keep what they want and sell or give away the rest.  My wife has zero interest in my systems or the music.
