Lounge Audio
Not all mom and pop ops are the same; some have a robust operation that works pretty well. My personal exp comes from ownership of the Hagerman Cornet 3. Not only is Jim H available and visible on various forum sites, he answers questions in a ver... 
Organ CDs with really deep bass
A little off topic, but since the interest is pipe organ music and recordings, there is an excellent archive of the npr show Pipedreams at the pipdreams.org website. You can search by country and region (for USA) and organ to discover pipdreams ep... 
New phono stage from SOTA

Recommend a cartridge for my new TT
Duvallite, allow me to add my two cents. I, too got back into vinyl after a few years away. I also had a Denon avr unit and i use Monitor Audio silvers ( s1 in my small room, s5i in my larger room). I have tried a number of carts from grado, audio... 
What speakers for NAD Model 314
I recently upgraded my Polk Monitor 7's to Monitor Audio S2's in my vinyl room. I run them from a NAD 304- they sound great on classical and jazz, need some bottom end support on more aggressive music.
