| Harbeth 30.1's w/Leben CS-1000P or CS-600 I use Harbeth P3ESR's (sensitivity 83 db) with 50 watt tube amps in a 20x15 size room with no problem. I can't see any problem driving the more sensitive 30's in a smaller room with the amp you want to use. I also agree that power is overrated! | |
| Linda Ronstadt/Nelson Riddle I have two of them on vinyl that I purchased new back around '84.I agree these are outstanding recordings! | |
| Bookshelf speakers for $500ish Forget my suggestion . Those speakers have ports in the rear! | |

| Recommendation for a 12 year old Denon DP-29F. Needle Doctor $150 with cartridge! | |

| Used Floor Standers for around $1k There is a pair of Vandersteen 2's on here for $650. I had them years ago and I think they would fit the bill ! | |
| KT 150 Amp Options I agree with Zd542. Just because an amp uses the same type of tube does not mean a thing! If that was the case then all amps would sound the same! More goes into the design of the amp than the type of tubes used. That being said, I do like the Qui... | |
| Classe Seventy amp found in alley I had the larger Classe ( model 15) from the same era and it was an outstanding amp. If you decide to sell it ,they go for about $500. | |
| Tubed Phono Preamp Quicksilver makes a real nice one for $1600. I have the older model and have enjoyed it for over ten years. | |
| how do you set VTA onthe SME 309 tonearm? Zd542,the op never said he did not have the tool. I have the 309 tonearm and it is the same tool used to adjust the tracking force. Why the presumption that he needed the tool? All he asked was how to raise and lower the arm. So yes we are beating... | |
| how do you set VTA onthe SME 309 tonearm? TKetcham answered the question in full detail early in this thread. Talk about beating a dead horse! | |
| Sold in one day I've sold stuff in one hour. What's the big deal? I have also had things sit for weeks with no action. | |
| VPI 3-D tonearm They do not list the mass of that tonearm on the specifications. I have never seen that omitted on any arm I have owned. I wonder why? It is an important spec to mate it with the cartridge you want to use. | |
| Bookshelf Speakers with the decent bass For your size room and the type of music you like the Harbeth P3ESR should be on your list. The Spendor 3/5 r2 is a close second. I have owned both and think they are both outstanding.http://www.hifizine.com/2011/12/harbeth-p3esr/ |
