A new Boston Massachusetts based company “Como Audio”
Looks like "lifestyle" products  to me.Probably good for what they are. Nothing groundbreaking here.Good luck to them, surviving these new times. 
Integrated amplifier help
ypsilon phaeton integrated That's some amp...Whatever you get shop around, take  your time.At that price point, you should be able to find a dealer you feel comfortable with, and help you. I wouldn't be on forums if I were about to drop that k... 
nordost frey 2 or shunyata alpha

Can’t avoid sounding like a broken record....great time to buy stuff.If I find an "act now" deal for a dialogue pre/monos,I just may have to grab them.Nah, I want to find the deal that will NEVER come even as this madness plays out.My PL HP is rea... 
SVS Subwoofer Isolation feet. Will I lose bass?
Not so fast...More  conflicting pseudo science-refer to subwoofer suggestions https://mapleshadestore.com/freeupgrades.php Lots of unconventional suggestions that some swear by.I have the subs on brass footers and maple slabs. Do they really do ... 
Soundsmith Straingauge cartridge taken to the next level
Years ago, I heard one played by Peter at a show. Still the "BEST" sounding cart to my ears.I've heard some of the "best" on ridiculous setups. It wasn't even mounted to a "super table" Just a VPI HRX(no slouch)and thru bookshelves, no less.These ... 
Mag-Lev Turntables
To be fair, I heard one at a show. It was only hooked up to headphones, in a noisy room.For the 2k  pricepoint, I'm sure it's about as good as any? I would stick with traditional, proven construction over novelty. If you decide playing records is ... 
Cartridge advice
For the price point-$400, I have found the SS Otello a very nice performing cart on my VPI. I used it as a back up for my 5X  the price MC. Very nice mids, which may be address your requirements, as a Classical listener. The only downside is no de... 
Mag-Lev Turntables
"I’m very interested in this turntable as many are."Who are these "many?"Looks like a conversation piece for the coffee table. Something you just have and not hooked up. Turn it on, and look at it, while your proper system is playing a record. 
The Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers
Just get what’s now impossible- a clean domestic period press.It’s the Stones.....you’re not supposed to be obsessed with audio hifi nonsense.Finding BOTH the zip cover AND LP in good condition for a reasonable cost is an accomplishment, if it’s a... 
Still trying to find a new PC
Either the Sockeye or Chinook will prevent any sonic improvement from a new powercord.Seriously, unless you simply try and buy, it's a lost cause with suggestions. Too subjective. The Agon listings are a great way to get something for 50% of list.... 
The Forest for the Trees
Wrong forum for actually enjoying music.This place is for obsession, specification driven tail chasing with cables, gadgets and MKIII  cryo'd  cheese.Enjoy the music https://www.etsy.com/listing/471910072/vintage-panasonic-8-track-player?show_sol... 
It happened again tonight
Yes!My 1979  1A(1st press variant? whatever that is)Pittman copy has been played on a few serious setups. $50K+ super rigs.Really a workout, besides great music. On my setup ($5K?),I can hear most of what can be squeezed out from  this great album... 
Cayin A100T (EL34 Version) Tube Rolling
Your unit is diode (SS )rectified. The 12AX7 IS NOT a rectifier tube. 
Any experience with these turntables?
Just try all of them(if you can) with an appropriate value Audio Technica MM cart, and you're good to go. If one sticks, later you could even put a budget MC to see if you like what they have to offer.Good enough to figure out if you want to conti...
