| Turntable I would second the recommendation of @noromance and get a "restored" Sapphire. I did that recently and couldn't be happier. You'll be right at your budget for just the table, but you already have an arm and cart and can upgrade later. Mine came... | |
| van den Hul Colibri - Recondition or leave it alone - how to reach vdH I would reach out to VPI, they are the US dealer. They'll send it on to Van Den Hul. I'm not sure you'll be able to get to VDH directly. | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? Georgia Blue might be one of my favorite records of 2021. I almost passed it by. Glad I didn't. | |
| Integrated vs. Separates on a Budget Out of one side of our audiophile mouths we talk about how bad home theater receivers and processors are because of all the things jammed into them, but then we rave about how great it is to have an amplifier, preamp, headphone amp, and phono stag... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @spiritofradio James, at some point all of my records from my youth disappeared. I think they were stolen from a storage unit I had. I really just started putting my vinyl collection back together (and then some!) in the last 10 years. I actually... | |
| Advice on new headphone system please Headphones come in a multitude of sonic flavors. Some are warm, some are very detailed, some emphasize bass, midrange, or treble. What's your budget? What flavor do you prefer? If you don't provide more information all you're going to get is "This... |
