Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9
I do not think you will be disappointed. Please update us on their arrival. Which finish did you select?  Breakin was about 50 hours but they sounded very good from the moment they were connected.   
What is the correct loading for a moving coil cartridge?
I used to follow the 10x cartridge impediance rule which placed me at 100ohms for my Ortofon Cadenza Bronze.  There are many experts that state the loading is more for the phono preamp and its abilities vs the actual cartridge.  When I upgraded my...

Might be a good idea to start a new thread. Need some more to add to the insider list. Good subject for discussion.

uberwaltz what price range are you focused on for your cartridge.  I heard a Kiseki Blue on your table and arm at Hollywood Sound and it was very nice.  Do you consider your system leaning more to the musical side or a little more on the analytica...

I hope this is a much calmer area where we can share helpful insights. I have been a member here for many years but mostly just to read the quality information provided by many members I already see here.  
Does anyone have experience with Polk Audio RTI A9 speakers?
You will find a large amount of information and individuals with the knowledge you are looking for on the Polk Audio forumhttps://forum.polkaudio.com/ 
Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9
I have to agree with Prof on this one.  The measurements you refer to as their objective performance did not appear in my objective listening of them in the past.  I have listened to all three of freesole’s well researched and thoughtfully chosen ... 
What separate tube phono stage do you use ?
VAC does make the Renaissance Phono preamp as well as their Statement Phono pre.  My VAC Renaissance performs well above its price IMO but then again I don’t have the funding to discover out how much better the Statement actually could be... 
Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9
I agree the A3s have a special presentation.  I decided for myself I was more interested in moving away from the analytical presentation toward what I defined as slightly more musical for my long term enjoyment.  Were you able to try either the A3... 
Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9
The D7s employ a driver for bass and another that shares the bass/midrange.  With the D9s the midrange is a single isolated driver and there are two bass drivers that were designed for this speaker.  Compared to the D7 the D9s are more balanced an... 
Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9
I enjoy my D9s every day for extended listening sessions.  The highs are open and airy with excellent detail but are not harsh.  I do not use any subwoofer and the bass is excellent, extended, and when appropriate palpable.  The D9s performance is... 
Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9
All three are excellent choices.  I purchased the Spendor D9s this year after a similar elimination process.  They will work very well with a 48 watt amp with their 90db efficiency and 8ohm nominal impediance. The bass extension to below 28hz is s... 
Spendor D7 vs. Spendor A7
I own the Spendor D9s and have spent time with the A7s.  I am going to assume the D7s are closer to the D9s than the A7s.  The A7s are fun speakers with surprising bass extension but lack the clarity in the highs that the “D” series supplies.  Ver...

Sounds like something clogging the outflow of the tank.  Might gently flush a little water back up the tube to see if you can dislodge the obstruction.
