| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Cars - Heartbeat City, MFSL | |
| Cartridge forgiving of "non-audiophile" recordings and pressings A Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood is in your budget and IMO has the attributes you're seeking. I put mine on my Technics SL-1200 Mark 2 often to listen to my less-than-perfect records. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Nils Frahm - Tripping with Nils Frahm, Qobuz Hi-Res | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Sigur Rós - Odin's Raven Magic, Qobuz Hi-Res. I've heard of them, but never listened before. Pretty cool stuff. | |

| As Advised, Starting With Speakers First. Oh, and on your way through Oregon you definitely have to stop at Echo Audio in Portland. By far my favorite Hi-Fi store in the PNW. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Thanks Jim! I'm kind of blown away by how good my old DJ turntable sounds now. | |
| As Advised, Starting With Speakers First. Definitely visit Gig Harbor Audio. Check out Hawthorne especially if you're open to used gear. I haven't looked at their website in a while, but I think they post all their used gear there. | |
