When did Rockport Atria 2s increase to $38k?
Anyone looking for speakers on that level shouldn't be surprised in 30%+ price increases. Reality, on every level is the norm.

'I remembered Johnny Hartman needed to be put on. Smooth as silk. ' You're not kidding, earthbound. I have this LP, and it sounds fantastic on my tubed midfi setup. John Coltrane And Johnny Hartman – John Coltrane And Johnny Hartman (1963, Gate... 
Hi-Fi and the Folly of Perfection
 Audio Neurosis...seems like there's a few suffering with it here. Accepting that it's just an attempt to create an illusion doesn't seem to sit well with some members here. I put on a good LP and get transported by the music, not the cables, fu...

GaN guitar amps?
Guitar amps and audio amps shouldn't even be in the same conversation. No need to reinvent the wheel. "Most guitar players I’ve played with are incessantly fiddling with their pedals to get the sound they’re looking for on a particular song,"  ...

I do my best to thoroughly read/understand before responding, therefore, I won’t mention George Meyer. I’ve had positive experiences the 2 times i’ve used them in the past 7 years. Pricey, but what isn’t in LA?

Congratulations. You're only here once,  and if one has the means, then it's deserved. Enjoy it. No doubt you're hearing into those Jazz recordings the way they should be heard. "Even cleaned up some rough Nina Simone recordings I have that wer... 
New TT vs Cartridge/isolation upgrade
Whatever you do, it's going thru whatever phonostage used. If it's the internal of an integrated amp, time to max the budget for a proper standalone unit to maximize the existing setup. You can then decide on a cart. Now your long game is in moti...

"Mr. Hot Stamper indeed. What this guy provides for lazy well-heeled audiophiles is a complete cleaning including ultrasonic cleaning of non-scratched/abused copies" I believe chrisoshea sums it up, but missing the other ingredient-the dead wax s... 
Enough noise reduction?

"I got it used from a family member already on the VPI and it’s probably 8 yrs old. He’s an avid listener too." A fresh stylus may be all that’s needed. Bass punch should be at least on par with your other sources, but it is cart model dependent....

Given the level you have, experimenting with another cart and tubed phonostage will give another view of a "convincing presentation" The Parasound you use is known as a "cant go wrong’ SS unit. You might find the tubed flavor more pleasant. I use... 
What's it worth to you?
No reason to apologize fleschler.  It was simply a goof comment based on the page. I'm not holding my breath to sell it  to the highest bidder. No LP of any pedigree is worth that kind of money.
