Turntable Suggestions
My budget is not tight at $2,000.I felt this was around what I wanted to spend as well asbeing a good balance with the level of the rest of my system.Like I said, I'm really not sure how good my YBAphono is and I have little idea of where the cost... 
Which integrated amp with Harbeths?
For what it's worth, I preferred the YBA Passion over the Plinius 9200.Used they seem to be within your budget.Assuming your from Maine-I have a place in Newport-Fidelis in NH sells both Harbeth and Plinius and wouldhave info on the match. 
Can you help or do I have to get divorced?
I had the same problem in my kitchen.I ended up with B&W 302's on shelf brackets held onwith double-stick tape.Never fallen or been a problem.I think any smaller front ported speaker should do fine.Bigger speakers would just need bigger bracke... 
Subwoofer other than Strata 3
Thanks for the inputStorm 3 being ported I feel would be a little boomy.The DD10 I can try from tweeter-I did hear they were better for movies than 2 channel, however I could be wrong.MJ-not sure-I'll do some research.The 2WQ's do come up used and...

Help-IC's needed AU or AQ
Over the christmas break I got a chance to try the cheetah's. Very nice- things seemed sharper, more detailed, and with a little more bass. I especially liked the grab of the connectors,quite snug, probably sincemy cardas are so old. My only conce...

Plinius or YBA
If anybody is curious, which doesn't seemtoo likely judging by the amount of inputthat I received, I purchased the YBA. Twodifferent salespeople both felt the YBA wasthe better amp, which was quite convincingseeing that they sold the Plinius and n... 
Plinius or YBA
I just wanted to add my impressions that the Plinius mightbe more dynamic while the YBA may be a little cleaner and more refined. Anybody else? 
SA-14 Construction/TOC Issues
I talked to Marantz America.They assured me no units were ever made withplastic sides and top. The material is an anodizedaluminum alloy. I re-checked my piece and will admitmy error-it is easy to see why it seems like plastic.Thin aluminum top wi... 
SA-14 Construction/TOC Issues
I also recently purchased an SA-14 from CSW.Initially I was less than pleased, however fromguidance from Ivan, Islandfisher, and Socrates,the unit has settled into place and nowsounds great. Lengthy break-in and the inner tubehave transformed it. ... 
SA-14 vs XA777es
Thank You for all your input.I called Marantz about the switch and they stated that in custom mode itputs out a 100 kilahertz signal.I called Bryston,they said no problem- Brystons go from 1/2 to130 kilahertz, as well as stating the speakers areno... 
sony xa 777es how good?
Thanks for all the feedback.My thoughts based on the responseswould be that the sony is comparableat with a 508.24, arc cd2 which either seemto sell around $1600 used. I thinkthe sony at $1700 new with a 5 yearwarranty makes more sense. I'll seeif...
