Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ??
I listened to the Magico's at Axpona- def would be on my list if I was in the market. Highly resolved, dynamic sound.....if you're into that kind of stuff :)ATB,Mark 
My first visit to AXPONA
I heard some JBL's- I think the LM100's ? Cool orange grills with what looked like a 15" main driver. A little wooly for my taste but at least they were playing Steely Dan! I found the choice of music in general was sleep inducing.... 
Top 5 Tonearms Newer or Vintage Under 2500 That Will Beat anything above/below 2.5k?
Naim Aro...if you can find one :) 
Pick A Tube Phono Preamp, but not just any Tube Phono Preamp
The most important part of phono stages is matching with a synergistic cartridge. If I were you, I would find the best VFM phono pre for your current cartridge. That would be, imo, the Dynavector P75. You can find these being sold all the time on ...

They did- my decks are stable with heat and air conditioning :) 
Linn LP12......That good??

mem2112- who fitted the Stiletto and Scorpion for you? 
Help ! Best MC cartridge for Linn LP12?
Dynavector, Lyra, Transfig all work well on the Ekos ...It's a matter of what signature sound you are looking for. I am a firm believer in spending the $$ on a great phono stage and a great interconnect rather than on a cartridge which wears out. ... 
Help ! Best MC cartridge for Linn LP12?
Well, the Kandid would be the logical choice . You did not mention which phono pre you are using? If you already have the Radikal, the Urika would provide you with a fully integrated SE deck. The synergy with the Urika and the Kandid allows them t...
