The down side for me is that is won't play my 10" 45 rpm records.  Otherwise, it was very tempting.  Very nice table and a good price.  Somebody needs to snatch this!

VMPS ST/R custom, 5' tall 20" square 180 lbs each.  15" mega woofer, 15" slot loaded passive radiator, 12" woofer, two planar mids, 10" horn compression driver tweeter.  Custom rebuilt with all new drivers by Brian Cheney at VMPS about a year ago, barely broke in.  The cabinet is from the 90s and the new drivers cost $3000.  This speaker needs to be tri amped.  I am including a Biamp SX-35 three way stereo crossover and six 6.5' runs of 14 gauge Monster Cable (if you need it).  These are as impressive as they look.  $1300

Melos MA-333 preamplifier with matching power supply and tube phono.  The MA-333 is a reference class A pure tube dual mono preamp.  The power supply shares the same chassis as the other two pieces and is a "plus series".  The power supply also powers the Phono stage.  MA-333 tube phono stage, class A, 60 db of gain, impossible to find.  The Phono stage cannot be sold by itself.

Nick - I may be interested in the Apogee Centaur Minors - but I can only do it conditionally, the condition being that they sound better than my current Mirage 890is in my particular setup with the Sunfire True Sub Mkii.  That may be too much of a pain for you - but if interested let me know.  I am looking to get into the ribbons game.
