| Ugh....dropped the stylus on the platter Yes I believe I lucked out. The cantilever looks perfectly straight and the diamond stylish appears perpendicular to the record groove, looking at it through a magnifying glass. I played a couple of records and they seemingly sound fine. I guess I... | |
| Ugh....dropped the stylus on the platter Thanks for the replies, I feel a bit better about it. And yes Larry, I usually do the same (leave tonearm lift up) but I must have forgotten this one time and of course that’s all it takes is that one time. And Moonglum, that is too bad! I got chi... | |
| Bookshelf Recommendations Wharfedale's 225's.....can compete with speakers 3 times the price. Warm non fatiguing sound. Port is on bottom for easy positioning. Recomended component in stereophile. | |

| Lets replace my Klipsch La Scala Speakers Wharfedale.....good speakers at reasonable prices, what's not to like. Warm sounding, never shrill....inexpensive, in this case, does not mean inferior sound. All imo. I own both the diamond 10.1 and the 225's and both are just fantastic. They bot... | |
| Which integrated amp do you suggest? The marantz pm8006 is an outstanding integrated amplifier. Fantastic upgraded phono stage, incredibly powerful sounding, yet refined and able to do subtlety. It has more connection options that I’ve seen on any other amp. Just keep in mind that it... | |
| Cd's to make a come back in the future? Aiwa 660, 770, & 990 here lol.....and a nak bx100 just to say I own a nak...long live the cassette! My marantz sa8005 sounds pretty darn fine to me, whether I'm playing red book or sacd....got the compact marantz hdcd1 as a back up, plus it l... | |

| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. Cd's sound just fine to me on a very good player. Maybe I'm old....I have no need or intention on ever streaming anything.....and sacd's sound even better. I am I guess one of the crazies that likes to hold and touch my physical media. Downloading... | |
| So many new TT's at lower price, still better off buying used? 1500 gets you a darn good new turntable in the pro-ject the classic sb superpack with all the fixins....I own it and love it...probably my last major tt purchase. The real walnut is beautiful. It's a poor man's linn sondek.... | |

| Looking for a mid-priced TT to install my 2M Black Cart I love my the classic sb superpack by project with the installed blue point mc....sounds fantastic to me...I also enjoy my music hall mmf7 with the eroica, and my thorens td240 with the ortofon super om10 when I’m lazy, fully auto. At some point I... | |
| Budget Music Streamer Would not analog solve all these issues? Less fatiguing, warmer etc whatever else mentioned, lol. Kidding of course (sort of), but to me, trying to change something that is inherently digital to sound like or more like analogue seems like a lot of... | |
| Speaker suggestions Wharfedale diamond 225’s imo are worth three times the asking price, they sound wonderful to my ears. Stereophie also agrees, as it won budget component of the year in 2017....I like them so much I hardly use my spendor and harbeths believe it or ... |
