Speaker stands for B&W 804s
Sound Anchors are highly regarded. Sonics and stability.You can spend more... but why?

Strikingly beautiful ? 
Zu Omen or Tekton Lore

I would highly recommend Elrod PC's. They are neutral and added dynamics and extention to my system. Hope this helps. 
40th Anniversary Aqualung is KILLER
I don't have a TT for the LP, but the Redbook is not compressed at all. That is one of the things I likes about the new remaster. It's very three dim. and open. Imaging is also very good. 
sound difference MIT ORACLE AC1 vs ELROD vs PURIST
I echo the experience Caliaripaolo had. I have my EPS-2 signature from a dedicated line to my Signature DU-2 wired in ballanced mode and my other EPS-2 is from my Signal DU-5 to my amp. The neutral balance and weight of the music was very nice. It...

using Velodyne sub in 2-channel setup?
That's why I use the speaker inputs on the sub. 
Down firing sub tweeks

I received my redbook double cd today and I'm very impressed. Steve and Ian nailed it. 
Almarro a318B and Audio Note ANe Speakers
The A318B will drive those very well. 94-95.5 db is a great load for this amp. It's a very high current amp that has very good bass and the highs are exceptional. The mids are extreamely good. I've owned my A318B for two years now. I'm very satisf... 
Down firing sub tweeks
I used two 3/4 in birch plywood screwed together and put some 1/4in spikes underneath to couple to the floor.The sound was more detail and less wooly. also, more gain and smoothness in presentation. I also put cones between the sub and the platfor...
