The Eatons will love that Line Magnetic! Running mine with only 30 watts Class A to good effect. Couple of reviews... https://theaudiophileman.com/eaton/ https://www.avforums.com/reviews/tannoy-legacy-eaton-standmount-speaker-review.13980/ ht... 
EAR 834P MM/MC options help
That front most tube, I’m told, is most responsible for the sound signature. You can save some cash by just rolling in a new tube in that spot. If money is no object, 3 gold lions or 3 of the new frame grid jj e83cc’s, based on the legendary Tesla...

Look at Atacama, they have all kinds of stands. I have three pair of their stands, great quality, made in UK. If I could find stands for my unconventional sized tannoy eatons, then you should be succesful in finding stands for the spendors, the an...

Phone pre advice - Would I benefit from this upgrade?
You could put the 2m Bronze on that turntable, I think it’s the same weight. I think even the Musical Fidelity lx2 lps phono would be better than what the Yanaha offers. It can still be had for about $379. So, an $800 investment. On second thought...

Tannoy legacy eaton can still be had for $5500 new. Front ported, and available @ upsscale audio. I am certain that they will not stay at that price very long, as everything is going up. I’m shocked the price on them in the US has not gone up yet,... 
Feel free to talk me off the ledge
I’m torn between the Goldenear BRX and the more expensive, by about $500, Buchardt S400 MKII...both utilize passive radiators. My last passive radiator speaker was way back in the 80’s, a pair of Realistic (Radio Shack) Optimus 10’s, those speaker... 
What trans (SUT) for a Victor mc-5E cartridge?
The Jensen mc-2rr-L would match up to that cartridge if it is 30 ohm internal impedance. The Jensen presents a load of 430 ohms to the cartridge, listed in the specs. It is a great sut for $599. Made in the USA...Tavish uses Jensen derived transfo...

@jerryg123 "other than the guys at Audio Science Review" What do they like? Did they even listen to the BRX?  I guess both John Atkinson and Herb Reichert are deaf or hard of hearing, because they both liked the BRX very much.   
Crutchfield Customer Service
Don't have one bad thing to say about them. Bought many a car stereo from them, as well as some home audio components. They stand behind everything they sell, no questions asked.   
Rogue Audio Sphinx V3
Anyone experience a noise issue when using the MM section of the phono Amp In the Sphinx v3? I ask this because John Atkinson of Stereophile mention this issue during his testing/measurements...however Herb made no mention of any issues in his rev...

Class D competing with class A? No way..two completely different animals.   
Competitive class D amp suggestions
@evank "I have the Rogue Sphinx 3 and with the stock tubes it was very thin sounding. I put in a pair of Mullards and it beefed everything up"   I have not heard the Rogue Sphinx V3, so I can’t say that it is or is not thin sounding with stock t...
