Since you have listened to them all, and they all sound great, maybe you should choose based which one looks the best in your room? ~Oran

Skeptic or just plain hard headed
Well Keith, you have curated a great and lively thread, for sure. Music reproduction by electrical and mechanical engineering is such a complex blend of art, science, and aesthetics that definitive answers will never be universal and.... that's ok... 
A very good ENGINEERING explanation of why analog can not be as good as digital..
Of course, sound quality notwithstanding, the sheer joy in finding old collections of records, cleaning the promising ones with my ultrasonic RCM, and cueing them up is often just so amazing. As kind of a known audio-guy and owner of a busy bakery... 
Skeptic or just plain hard headed
Hello All,     Just a semi-related anecdote, I’ve got a large commercial building with a crazy-fun-exasperating sound system (posted in virtual systems, Village Baker Madness). One time I had the great idea to hook up a pair of Jamo E770’s to my N... 
Kate Bush fans Great News !

Audiodesk Vinyl Cleaner Pro - Drying Issue
Hi... I've got the Pro version, and am thoroughly happy with it though it does leave a drop or three behind from time to time. My solution is simply to let them air-dry for a bit. I bought a bamboo dish drainer that and, if the records are placed ... 
Accuphase E470 v. Luxman L509x
Hi Honeybee, I owned and really enjoyed my Luxman L550-AX, but wanted a bit more power for my somewhat greedy ATC’s. Now I have an Accuphase E-470 and it would be difficult to overstate it’s exquisite quality on so many levels. First, it’s an exc... 
Have l become unstable?
Hello Celtic,    I'm listening to my ATC 40's right now, but in my case they are the somewhat unusual ATC HTS40's, the same as the SCM 40's but in an on wall configuration. Powered by an Accuphase E-470 with a pair of the small but tight JL Audio ... 
Like the new look to audiogon ?
emails from today:Dear Audiogon Staff,I would be much more inclined to learn the ins and outs of your new update if it were not for the blurred "key-hole" style pictures. I would suggest changing that one aspect of the update and maybe members wou... 
Like the new look to audiogon ?
I own a bakery/cafe and am very sensitive to bad reviews, and am usually forgiving of bad experiences because I sure know the challenges of running a business....But, what happened, Audiogon? I hope my ONE STAR review is just temporary! Please wit... 
Can someone explain to me why : Accupahse Equipment is that expensive ?
It’s the perfect storm....1) Accuphase gear is of exceptional quality.2) Accuphase components are exquisitely beautiful.3) While the Accuphase catalog is deep, they are rare.4) Employees of Accuphase are highly paid.5) The usual markups throughout...

Hey Vintage Heath, good for you. I like your keep-it-fun attitude!  
We give up perspective to avoid tone controls
Hello All,    There are times when I tweak the heck out of even well recorded music.... Sometimes I listen to music at very low volumes and I max out the tone controls and the ‘compensate’ circuit of my Accuphase E-470. I’m surprised that listenin... 
Some Direction Please......
Hello,    I'm sure those Harbeths are divine. And,of course, anything by Rogue is sure to be a quality piece. You are off to a very promising start.     A few years ago I purchased one of the ultrasonic record cleaning machines and it was like get...
