Suggest your most desired MSRP $1,500-$3,000 Stand Mount for a Shootout.
Maybe I missed it but what amp is being used?  Amp/speaker synergy is key.

I'd send an email to Dave at Vinyl Nirvana. dave@vinylnirvana.com  
Herron VTPH-2A vs ModWright PH 9.0
@thiefoflight Will do.  I will post my impressions in this thread.

good call on the Silverline Minuet Grand @soix  Also depending on amplification it would be interesting to add the Falcon LS3/5a which comes in right at $3K.  
Beautiful listening rooms
Can’t believe the thread doesn’t include a high-end room sporting brothel-style wall-to-wall red carpet paired with Kandy Kitchen wainscotting.  
Which taps?
Try all taps.  The ones that sound the best to you are the right ones.   
Sound
It's not even so much just about solely the sound but overall connecting to and enjoying the music - that is so much of the experience to me.  Over the past couple of years I've cobbled together a 2nd system with mainly used gear that I deliberate... 
This is only a test
This is clearly a racist thread and I'm reporting it to the mods.  
How important Is shielding with RCA wires? (Ethan Winer, new video)
The main thing I learned in this thread is that @oldhvymec certainly doesn't need to drink! He enjoys life while intoxicated on life ;-)  
Herron VTPH-2A vs ModWright PH 9.0
Oh yes I forgot, I also have a pair of the CV-181 T-II and the 6CA7 T-II - both excellent.  Just ordered a matched quad of the Psvane 12AX7-S ECC83 Art Series Gold Pins.  
How important Is shielding with RCA wires? (Ethan Winer, new video)
Consistent with what @mapman points out, shielding in RCA wire can make a huge difference between a SUT and phono pre.  It would be simple to show a YouTube video highlighting the impact.  I will try to hide all my whiskey bottles better than Mr. ...

@thiefoflight Thanks for the suggestion on the Psvane 12AX7's....I've never tried them but really like all the other Psvane tubes I've used in other gear - ACME 300B and 274B.  I may buy a quad and see how it goes.  
Tube integrated amps -- new Value Leaders?
@yogiboy  I've owned the SLI-80HS and my Line Magnetic is substantially better sounding....not even close. At the same price.  
Herron VTPH-2A vs ModWright PH 9.0
@thiefoflight  Yes, I've tried rolling tubes in the Luxman after reading several pro reviewers report great results.  I started with the rectifier and am using a 1960 Mullard with nice improvement, particularly to bottom end grip and bass heft.  I... 
Herron VTPH-2A vs ModWright PH 9.0
@thiefoflight  That PH9.0X does sound interesting and in the $4K range seems priced well against its features and design.  The more phono's I gain experience with the more I realize that the Herron is perhaps the most over-hyped phono of all time...
