Should I keep the Turntable or sell it?
@lewmI’ve only listened to the P3 once at a dinner party a couple years ago, and I remember really liking it, but it wasn’t in the budget at the time. Maybe it was the wine, but his system sounded very warm. He had Klipsch bookshelf speakers (RP-6...

 @chakster I forgot to mention, I found out the cart is an Audio-Technica, but not sure how to identify which one it is.  
Should I keep the Turntable or sell it?
With all due respect, saying because it’s a “Japanese direct drive” as a reason to sell the Cambridge Audio Alva, which IS direct drive isn’t an actual reason, that’s just “legacy hype”. Since Cambridge Audio has openly discussed partnerships with...

@chakster can you provide some details as to why I should do that? Also what cart would you recommend?

I have the KEF LS50 Wireless, and at first they were bright... having only put about 30 hours on them, they have definitely grown on me. Matched with a warm tube preamp, and they sound great with my vinyl collection. To be honest, with my vinyl pr... 
I need help trying to decide which bookshelf speakers to purchase

@n80 yeah, you really need to work on your analogies, because you are mixing professional careers with enthusiasts. I would never call myself a race car driver, just because I own a Porsche and have put a few laps on a track. But yes, I would cert...

@han_nagreed... audiophiles are on a quest to optimize their system, based on the budget given. To optimize my very small budget, I chose speaker stands to put my KEF LS50 Wireless on, instead of investing an additional $300-$500 on my SVS interco... 
An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree?
Being an audiophile has nothing to do with money. Yes, you need to have money, but more importantly you are a music lover on a quest to compile the best components possible that when combined, achieve the best sound. Adding a $1300 power cord to a...
