Turntable and amp combination
The pro-ject the classic belt drive turntable, especially the classic SB, is a quality turntable. The SB will give you a taste of a moving coil cartridge, be it the high output blue point #2 or the ortofon quintet red (depending on where you buy i...

Sub $1k Power Conditioners? Any Assistance Appreciated...

Passive Bookshelf Speaker Selection

How Long Did It Take You To Build Your Dream Setup?
I’m in my 50’s and still have not achieved the "dream system" but I’m close. I’ve been in the hobby since 13 years old when my mom bought me a radio shack all in one receiver with an 8 track player! Back then I thought it was the cat’s ass! Lol...... 
Integrated Amp $1200 or less
