About to audition Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Grand Reference - advice?
Congratulations on your acquisition.Timely thread.I'm about to throw out a ridiculous offer on the little sister- Beethoven Concert Grand SE. Hope it sticks. These are unfortunate times for all of us but, I've been mentioning for over a month it's... 
Ebay and AudiogoN, listings and the economic crisis.
Cartier jewelry  and Lambo's  are being listed with free shipping. 
Complete Set of Five 2013 Anthony Gallo Speakers (Excellent/Mint)
"The guy at Gallo said he would ballpark it around $5,000-$6,500 due to the reasons I have stated above."No Antiques Road Show value has been earned. Loudspeakers-audio in general only goes down in value as time marches on.$500 would be generous.

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...

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....
