| Need recommendations for a Cartridge under $2K Of your dealer carries these 3 brands, then why not audition the carts? In your home if possible.And be sure to check compatibility of these carts with your tonearm's effective mass (easiest place to do this is Vinyl Engine cart database) | |
| KEF LS50 No_regrets, See the Steve Guttenberg review and the Stereophile review. Both note how they compare to the BBC monitor designs. | |
| KEF LS50 How are they at low volumes? | |

To your list I would add a balanced power conditioner (Equi-tech, for example) and the Running Springs lines (know... | |
| Speaker choice: impedance, sensitivity, and tubes I am puzzled by the story of your 88dB speakers. What preamp are you using? This sounds like a gain problem, not a watts problem. Taking gain into account is an important part of system building. | |
| Recommendation: great floorstander & amp $3K ea I would recommend against an even split between the cost of amp and speaker. Spend on the speaker. Much greater payoff there as long as the amp you choose is well-suited for the speaker. | |
