| Luxman 509z or Aesthetix Mimas Although both are great amps, I’d go with the Aesthetix because their both their DAC and phono cards sonically punch way above their price points so it is a better buy. | |
| Best way to spend my money @lewm is correct- unbalanced long runs picks up more noise, so it’s best to run balanced which greatly helps reduce/cancel such noise. | |
| Best way to spend my money +1 @gano - maybe a hummingbird ultrasonic record cleaning machine | |

On the other hand, I’m open to changes of certain speaker crossovers like Magnepan and Klipsch - mayb... | |
| Have some fun with bookshelf monitors!! ….to sit on a bookshelf @twhitezzz - so it it correct in assuming that the speakers backs are close to the back wall or on a lower shelf, both limiting rear ported speakers? | |
