Primaluna or not Primaluna
The PL will sound "quite good" as you heard with the Line Magnetic. The difference may be the overall build quality, features and support if needed. Other than that, the SQ is purely subjective, like EVERYTHING audio. You can hear any brand amp... 
Sublima Chakra tt mat
I couldn’t help it. The OP has what appears to be a fine setup, without the need for "lowering contact charges" Perhaps a 100% pure cork mat can be found somewhere. 100% cork is practically impossible to find. Most mats are blended with rubber. ... 
Sublima Chakra tt mat
From the website: ' It also reduces the wear of the vinyl by lowering the contact charges and allowing the head a much more natural and complete reading." Vuoi migliorare il suono ? Clicca adesso - Sublima (sublimacables.com) More technical bal... 
Ferrari Purosangue with Burmester Audio
I'm sure a fuse upgrade will improve it   
Floorstanding speaker advice needed for long room
Firing the length is great-IF it were a dedicated space, and you could push the speakers out 6 feet and your seat is somewhere just off the middle of the room. Reality, you're using a living space. Keep the sub for service. It will still handle t... 
I don't get LRS and cheap Ayima AO7 amp
No groundbreaking news here... Many seem to forget the end result is always subjective ears. My $200 mid 90's Harman Kardon receiver drives my ML's just fine.    
Tannoy Legacy Eaton with Primaluna EVO 300 Integrated
'The Eatons are a little harder to drive at 89 dB, but I hope it will be enough with 40 watts to get the best of them." The PL will be fine. The Eatons aren't harder to drive-87-89dB rating is average for most of the market and the PL is capable ... 
Everything matter in the audio chain. Tests prove it!
In the end, graphs and charts meaningless if the ears aren't convinced.  No guarantees with anything more.  
The Beatles Revolver
ANYTHING released from Beatles, Stones and a few select others is simply TIRED, BORING and a money grab for whoever decides it's time for a new "super" release. Spend the money on a minty first press-at least that's got SOME kind of intrinsic va... 
How far and wide? NSMT speaker placement
My ML stats and sealed boxes are around 7' out.  Get them speakers out in the room to breath! Cardas isn't for a one-size-fits all, but if you have a dedicated space, worth a try.  Room Setup Calculators (cardas.com)    
Best Phono Cartridge for VPI Titan Turntable
Keeping suggestions purely subjective, I'd consider Soundsmith or Audio Technica ART series(ART1000 specifically). I've used both brands on my VPI, and Ledermann uses  VPI to demo his carts. Enjoy  it. It's a looker. You likely have a proper ph... 
What is Your Opinion of Atmos Music?
What better reason to keep the money flowing - introduce another "groundbreaking format" for the masses. Yet another reason to get another "better" DOSM, Sgt Peppers....oookkaaay. Isn’t a properly setup stereo convincing enough? A legit room/sys... 
Upgrade path question. Upgrade analog or turn to digital?
"max out the VPI Classic 1" Listening to a Classic 1 for 10 years or so. As it is stock, it delivers enough of what the $10K+ setups do. You probably already know maxing the phonostage is paramount before sinking any money into the table. As a p... 
Cartridge recommendations
"I have tried (too) many AT carts, including 160ML, 150MLX, AT24, ART7, ART9, and recently found as ML170 beats most, and does sound very transparent and “airy”. " Not surprised. My emergency backup cart is the $400 Soundsmith Otello. My ears he... 
Record collecting versus hoarding
Having a large LP collection isn't a problem unless it looks like this
