Speakers behind wall of TVs?? What the ...?
"I like to sometimes listen to tunes while I'm watching 10 games"Sports book in the basement-that's a serious fan.How anyone can be serious about "listening to tunes" while doing that is puzzling. Serious listening? That's laughable. To each his o... 
Cartridge for VPI TT with JMW 9 tonearm
I see that in all my babble I failed to include a comment directly to your lineup choices.The OC9 series is quite good at their price point. I've  used the OC9 III. Be aware AT's can have a VERY active top end. The newer series appears to give mor... 
Cartridge for VPI TT with JMW 9 tonearm

Pro-Ject Xtension Evo 10 - Record Weight ?
That's an impressive table...It plays Bizet without the cartridge even near the LP! Maybe a new accessory weight Pro-Ject is offering? It's a nice table, I've heard it a few times. A shiny weight isn't going to make it "better".Looks like everyone...

Wow, $10k+ cables
The OP is on to something here....I would use $9,999.99 cables on my "Statement" grade boxes.More bang for your buck than the $10K offerings.

Easy on the eyes. Easy on the ears. Faouzia
I gave it  another shot. Yeah, it's awful-all of the linked videos. That stuff is painful to watch and listen to.Reading the YT reviews confirms I'm living in another reality.All the reviewers love this performer. This must be the same crowd that ...

Horses for courses.What is with this "modern" style of delivery? To me it’s a combination of shouting with no sense of melody and harmony.Just my opinion - that was painful. If you dig it...CRANK IT UP! 
Does anyone else miss the 80s-90s raving mood?
Just sounds like a film soundtrack- nothing else.To each his own. My Gen X and younger friends consider this "music".Ecstasy and a Red Bull fortification definitely needed, along with the packed, room required to appreciate it. Also needs to "perf...
