VPI Scout or GEM Dandy PolyTable
You may want to look at these. They use parts sourced by VPI to make a lovely product for 2500.00.https://www.shinola.com/audio.html

Have you seen the Shinola TTs with parts sourced from VPI? https://www.shinola.com/audio.htmlhttps://www.shinola.com/runwell-turntable-limited-edition.html 
15" is deep enough
I personally think amps should sit on the floor between the speakers and like them to be deep and narrow. 
Audio withdrawal
I think it's a good idea to keep a back up amp around. I have several. It's also good to hear things from a different perspective occasionally. 
High Quality Universal Player??
Oppo is bringing out a new 4K player this fall.  
Is OPPO losing it's way?

Viva, no longer a fan
A company is really shooting itself in the foot by not supporting it's used products. If someone can't sell his or her old model they will probably not upgrade to the new model.

Should I replace my driver?
Just play the repaired one by itself til it breaks in.

"Stairway To Heaven" Plagarism court case
It's alright to perform other people's music as long as you pay royalties and give credit. Therefore as long as whoever owns the rights to a song is asked or paid it's okay. When Weird Al does a parody he has to get permission from the person or c...
