What I call minimalist
Yes, that’s it guys!  All good suggestions.  I do have some Sonny Rollins, George Harrison and Gillian Welch albums.  I do love the sound of a good quartet.Listening to the other suggestions and really enjoying them! 
Recommendations for a new integrated amp for Vandersteen 3a speakers
Parasound halo integrated.  Makes my Vandy ce2 sigs happy. 
Help me decide on my next cartridge (
Well, you’ve gone and done it; or rather I’ve gone and done it.  Instead of spending $900 on a high(er) end cartridge for a $600 turntable, I’m now buying a $1,750 Sota Comet V turntable and adding a $750 Hana SH cartridge to it.  I had a good con...

SOTA Comet V?

Thank you all for your input.This actually went in a different direction than I had expected.  Now I’m interested in knowing what turntables you all would suggest?  I guess this puts me in the $1.5k ballpark.

More break-in, definitely!  I have the 2Cs and the  2CE SigIIs.  The more break-in time, the better!  Once broken in, you will never want to part with them.

Best of both worlds? (Relatively speaking)
reubent - Sorry for the confusion.  The speaker wires from both amps are bi-wired.  And the reason my hi-res source feeds into the A/V amp is because it does the file decoding work.  It uses an HDMI input which allows the highest level of input.Th... 
Vincent PHO-8
I recently set up my new Vincent PHO-8.  It has less than 3 hours of use on it because I had to return my TT for another one.  In the meantime I dusted off my old Pioneer sa9100 amp and am thinking of using it instead of the new Vincent.If you hav... 
Pioneer SA9100 & TX9100 repair near McLean VA? (Worth it?)
I just dropped off my sa9100 at a little hole-in-the-wall shop in Williamsburg, VA (Action Electronics).  The owner impressed me with his knowledge and repair ethics, along with the fact that he's been doing this since the early 70's.I brought my ...
