| high-efficiency loudspeakers I know they aren't the "best", but I really enjoy my Legacy Audio Focus 20/20 speakers. I've heard better speakers, but purchasing a used set of these was the best price / performance compromise for me. I also have a pair of Klipsch klf-30 speaker... | |
| Vinyl***What If*** What's "inexpensive"? What's your budget? Are you open to used? It sounds like the Cayin only does MM cartridges? If so, the suggestion for a Hana SL (and many other MC cartridges) is not a good one. You could get by with the Hana SH (the hig... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? uber, yes, it's really good. I've always liked Susan Tedeschi and I also like Derek Trucks, but I've never paid much attention to their band. That record made me really want to see them live, I can imagine it's a great show! I'll have to dig in... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Tedeschi Trucks Band - Signs. I'm really digging it so far! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Gary Numan - The Pleasure Principle. I've been out of town for a few days in a place with no music other than my IEM's. It's good to be home! | |
| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black Thanks uber. It's good to know there's an option when the time comes. | |
| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black That's more than I paid for the turntable and cartridge! I have a couple of jico sas styli and like them, but from what I've read they don't do Stanton. | |
| BlueSound Node 2 - connect to pre-amp direct or to Oppo UDP-205 and then to pre-amp Try both, but you may decide there's not a lot of difference. I tried my node 2 through my OPPO 105D and it does sound a little better, but not much and I like not having to turn on the OPPO and the TV to listen. | |
| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black @tzh21y Yes, I immediately fell in love with the sound of it.The turntable body is a bit resonant, I'm going to try some internal damping to see if that helps. From what I've read, it's impossible to find a replacement stylus for that cartridge, o... | |
| DAC recommendation with tube preamp A used Auralic Vega might be worth considering. I have my node 2 running into my Vega and am very happy with the combination. | |
| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black I recently acquired a JVC QL-Y66F direct drive table with a Stanton 981 HZ cartridge for $545. Much better table than the music hall 2.2. Music hall 5.X tables are often available with a decent cart for around $500. I just sold one for a little l... | |
| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black When the OP asked for a cartridge upgrade is not a good idea to tell him he must buy another turntable first.In your opinion, which you have yet to demonstrate is based on any actual experience with the turntable the OP has. I would have welcomed ... | |
| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black I think @chakster is a little ignorant when it comes to this issue.He knows more than anyone. Just ask him, he'll tell you. Or don't ask him, he'll still tell you. Buying 60 cartridges demonstrates... something. But spending less than the cost of ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Strangers in the night is one of the best live albums ever. I saw them live in their heyday. One of the best shows I've been to. | |
| Want to upgrade my cartridge from 2m blue to black You should see a benefit by putting a better cartridge on that table. How do you quantify what percentage of improvement?Your money could be spent better, but it's your money and your choice. The bass will never be as solid on that turntable, the ... |
