This is not an objective area. On the whole people who like the Linn/Naim line up stick with the definite sonic characteristics of those components. Anyway, for what it's worth I'd have a Goldmund arm fitted to that Goldmund reference, some Siltech ribbon speaker cable to the Wamms, and maybe {out of loyalty again I guess} a Musical Fidelity SA470 power amp. Next problem; which bank do I rob? Richard.
