    A $50 3-shelf stand with stainless steel tubes and maple veneer shelves from Lowe's. Cheap, I know. But I could never bring myself to spend $1000's for a stand. I eventually will make my own, either with threaded rods, or solid wood.

Sakahara: yes the "audiophile" quality re-issues are quite tempting but expensive. I've got over 1000 albums but I've never paid $25-$50, the most I've paid is maybe $10. I buy them all used, clean them up on my VPI 16.5 with Walker solution and they come out looking almost new and it just kills my digital setup. You'd be surprised at how much good quality used vinyl there is out there for a reasonable price. My CD player has been gathering dust since I got into vinyl. I used to have the Aurieges L, but upgraded to the MM with the built in phono stage, it sounds wonderful and the Monbrison is even better. Anyways, something to consider...

Nice system, would you ever consider analog? It would really bring out the nuances in the recordings and your other gear is certainly up to the task.
