I am not sure if I want to increase my vinyl collection that much. I really love using a music server.

Serge...great walk through as usual. I am tagging this and the Clearaudio table setup posts so that when I finally get my tt (!), I can use them as setup references. Congrats and I am sure you will tweak this rig into optimal performance. Thanks for the excellent post as usual.

I have been talking to my dealer about a 20/2. If the market keeps going like the first quarter, I may pull the trigger.

Jim...you lie! I thought you were not into the whole vinyl thing . If you do pull the trigger, it would be really cool to follow your adventures with high-end vinyl

I've got to tell you guys, since installing the new Ortofon 2M Black on my Micro Seiki, I have a whole new attitude towards vinyl. I haven't listened to a CD on the tube system since the turntable got moved to the C1000T, and the Teles went in the phono stage. I was in the studio this morning and listened to Larry Carlton on vinyl, and Stevie Ray Vaughn - Couldn't Stand The Weather album. Man, that was good to hear. Stevie Ray's "Tin Pan Alley" is one of my favorite blues tracks, and on my vinyl rig it was thoroughly engaging. For the first time in years I am now shopping for new vinyl. Good stuff.

That's great news Dan! There is so much new and used vinyl to discover and some of the newer recordings are really awesome. More importantly, it just sounds so damn right!

I'm used to handling the tonearm under the influence.

Me too .......If you like Ray Charles check out the Ray Sings Basie Swings LP, its a limited edition and done very well.

Serge...that's a beauty and bet sounds great in your system. Paired with the EAR, LAMM, and your new speakers it's like the live performance. Congrats to your new purchase.
