| Turntables @jmolsberg I was able to get that same setup, turntable, Lounge w/silver, Ortofon Blue and Audio Sensibilities AE Impact cable for under $800 used by shopping around. It did sound good but I ended up with a deal on a Denon DP-60L and Ortofon Bronz... | |

| Turntables @luvrockin I can’t find it. Somebody probably snagged it up as it was a few days ago. I thought about getting it to myself but my older Denon DP-60L w/Ortofon Bronze is keeping my ears happy so far. I’m new to vinyl myself after about 35ish years.... | |

| Parasound Zpre3? Correction the Zpre3 doesn't have a phono stage. I was thinking about the 200 Pre. On the 200 Pre, how's the DAC, phono and headphone amp on it? | |
| Turntables Technics 1200GR?I saw a nice used one w/cartridge here on Audiogon earlier in your range. | |
| Passive preamp to a power amp? The Saga has more inputs and two outputs. They mention you can use the two inputs on the Sys as outputs (connect in reverse) and leave the volume all the way up. I have a Sys and am going to pick up a Saga as the extra inputs and output would be h... | |
| Digital streaming options for my system are confusing Another Bluesound Node 2i vote here. | |
| Bluesound Vault 2i vs. Meridian Media Core 200 for first music server @rhljazz Do you see a significant improvement in sound with your 2i over the Vault? I have a Node 2 and am wondering if I should move to a 2i? I don’t use an external DAC and realize the DACs are the same but have read there is a noticeable sound ... | |
| Denon DP-60L? @lewm Thanks for the excellent reply. I think I might push the fact of the caps and transistors being updated. He was saying it would be in the $150 range for caps. So with my RCAs installed, new caps/trans and a cover polish I might be in for und... | |
| Denon DP-60L? @yogiboy Thanks again. Yes, I’m no electrical expert but I hear many say that replacing the caps is cheap compared to the other parts that may get damaged with old caps failing. Also, I guess it’s hard to find parts for older Denon tables as well?... | |
| Denon DP-60L? @yogiboy No, it came with just the straight arm. It also came with a Sumiko Blue Oyster but I am going to put an Ortofon Bronze in it that I already have. From reading, I guess I’ll be fine with the Bronze and most MM cartridges in general with th... | |
| Denon DP-60L? @lewm Thanks for the reply. It’s a local shop that’s been around a while and from ’what I’ve heard’ does good work. Yes, I’m more comfortable with a recap while it’s in there so it made me wonder too. As for “I don’t want to put too much in it” an... | |
| Vintage Turntables compared to modern? I'd like to get a hold of a minty older Sony (PS-X800-700-555ES) or some other vintage auto table. | |
| A Better Bluesound AC Cable? I’ve been wondering this myself for my Node 2 and someone here recommended a Nordost Purple Flare as a good replacement. I’m also eyeballing the Shunyata Venom 14. |
