I have heard the Lehman phono stages and they are all good, improving as the price goes up, which is the usual way of things.

Re: Best speakers for Shindo Apetite
Shindo speakers would be best. If not Auditorium 23. If Devore I would use the O96 with your amp due to the higher efficiency. As others suggested do not use your amp with the Marten speakers.

If you have not had an idler drive you should consider a Garrard or Lenco. I have a SME and a Garrard. Very happy with the Garrard.
