Need recommendation on mono cartridge please
Suteetat, If it is not clear on the record label or cover, the code on the cover's spine or label should allow you to figure this out. Check those codes at Discogs, probably the best place to look for pressing details. And as for buying mono, be s... 
Purepower 2000+ and 3000+ actual availability???
Man PurePower Canada can't catch a break. When was the last time I read a positive forum post on these folks? 
I am thinking about a Butler 5 channel amp.
First step is to check the input impedance of the amp and make sure the pre's output impedance is at least 10 times less. 
AS Challenger mk 2 vs. Avid Diva 2 sp vs. Rega P9
And once you get to the GTA or a Vortrex, you are at the end of your upgrade chain for analog except for the cart and phono stage. For better or worse. The Well Tempered tables sound great but you lack a tonearm upgrade option. Not that there aren...

Brutal news. 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
+1 to the last comment. In a big way. At some point it is all about hearing something in your system and seeing how it meshes with your room, equipment and preferences. Let us know how it all turns out. 
Which Rel subwoofer
Sksos1, There are a large number of REL models out in the world. Which did you have issues with? And how was support from REL when these issues did come up? Loved my REL Storm III when I had need of it. Best sub I have owned to date. (But also the... 
My amp has no faults
Bottom end cutting like a knife? Check OTLs then if you are looking to go tubes. Though the damping factor of the amp will affect how tight the bass is to some degree (this will differ according to the drivers employed for the low-end, another rea... 
Is Nagra BPS The Best Small Phono Pre?
Avid Pulsus might be worth considering. 
My amp has no faults
Oh, well if you are looking for amps for an active system that does change things. No pesky amp-crossover interactions to worry about. Fun stuff.
