Thanks Acman-I have never listened to a mono version. do you need a special mono cartridge or setting on pre amp? I have neither.

Elizabeth-Have you listened to Rubber Soul-do you agree with MF that its a 5/10 sound quality. For me 5/10 approaches sound of a cassette tape. The reissue must really sound god awful to get a 5/10.

I missed that one-thanks. Yikes, not a very positive review on the sound quality of this. I will cont listening to my German original pressing. 
Want to start my analog journey
I would consider a Rega RP3 and Jolida JD9 phono pre amp. Both pieces are very musical, modern and upgradable. 
ideas for purchase, please
Zuu Audio Omens go great with Nova

I think Zu audio's speakers all look interesting. 
Best Amp for Klipsch La Scala Speakers? Xmas Gift
-Mono-block Outlaw 200 watt amps Nice but 200 wtts is overkill 
Mumford Sons
I think it is very similar to Sigh. It could have been recorded during the same time. Kinda like a movie sequel, Babel takes the successful Sigh and expands upon it. I think if you liked Sigh, you will love Babel. Cheers.

I agree the second release is every bit as good as the first if not better. 
Do I need to use filler in my speaker stands?
I have my monitors (Usher X719) on target stands filled with sand and blue tack coupling the speakers to the stands. IMO the both are better than none, and the Blue Tack helped the sound more than sand. 
Best Amp for Klipsch La Scala Speakers? Xmas Gift
Cool. Not sure what you know about the La Scala but they are very efficient, which means you dont need alot of power to drive them. I used an NAD integrated with mine, with very good results. However, if you want something better, and the La Scala... 
Now that my amp's blown...
The Nait5i is a great piece. Also consider Creek and Musical Fidelity
