| What Monitors would you pick for my new office (bookshelf) >> I love the ProAc Tablette 10s. Closed cabinet. Stick em anywhere and they sound brilliant. | |
| Is there a good indoor FM antenna? +1 for the Magnum Dynalab. It's brilliant. | |
| Punchy integrated with DAC Have you checked out the PSAudio Sprout100? It's close to your price range. Love mine. More than enough power with 100 watts...DAC, Phono, Bluetooth, remote, amazing clarity...EXCEPT no coax BUT USB-type B and Toslink options...so you could in the... | |
| A plethora of turntables - help needed! I have the Linn Basik / Akito in one of my systems and love it. That's a bargain price. The VM750SH Shibata cart I'm using really makes it sing. Haven't had any issues with it in all the years I've had it. | |
| MC cart recommendation max $2000 for 1200G stock I run an AT33Sa on my 1200 MK2 (same mass tonearm as yours) and it's incredible. It's a perfect match as far as I'm concerned. | |
| Tell about your experience with your old Audio-Technica SL-1200s.. I have the MK2, all stock, with an AT33Sa MC cart and I'm not going anywhere. Sounds brilliant to me. | |
| New TT or new Cart? Technics content I'm running an AT33Sa MC on my SL1200 MK2 with stock arm into a Vincent PHO-701 phono pre and it absolutely sings. I would give a MC a go, and get another headshell, so easy to swap carts on Technics. | |
| Should I pull the trigger? You'll never truly know the pros/cons until you listen with your intended amp. Wouldn't you be going from 2-way to 3-way with Triangles? That's definitely something. They'll sound different for sure...but better? | |
| Would Appreciate Advice Before I Buy I agree. That would all work well together. My only concern are those speakers in an "open large rectangle". The Klipsch will be clear as a bell, but with only 15" box and 6.5" woofer, I feel you might end up feeling like you're missing some meat.... | |
| Best Desktop Speakers under $500 Definitely check out Q Acoustics. | |
| Where to go from Grado Gold? That's a pretty light tonearm, and would be a perfect match for an Audio Technica VM750SH cart...dual MM with Shibata stylus. I have one on my Akito tonearm (roughly same mass as yours) and it's killer. | |
| Best MC cart for Thorens TP16 MK1? Just closing the loop here for future info. Again, I have a Thorens TD-160 with TP16 MK1 tonearm. I ended up purchasing a VAS Ebony 103 moving coil cartridge. It's essentially a DL-103 with the same compliance, but it's much heavier due the wood b... | |
| Upgrade Suggestions for Turntable/Cartridge/Preamp chain I'd be interested in what amp and speakers you're running, too. But based on what you listed, I'd start with upgrading the TT. The carts are decent enough. There's a point of diminishing returns when you put a high-quality cart on a so-so deck. Sp... | |
| Integrated / speaker pairings in the $6-7K range ProAc Tab 10s and Audiolab sing in my living room. | |
| Sweet new tube amp needs better speakers Based on your taste of music and wanting more laid back (as opposed to up front and bright), I'd look at JBL L100, KLH Model Five, or Klipsch Forte III or IV (which are highly sensitive).I do run ProAc Tab 10s in one of my systems...granted, books... |
