I seek your guidance - re turntable
Hmm, no Clearaudio fan here?If you want a new table, Clearaudio Emotion would be worthwhile to consider. It can be had at around $1000 without cartridge. 
AT150mlx price went up
Discount of $250 vs $450?You have a strange sense of humor.Setting $800 MSRP is nothing but a marketing gimmick, IMO, but it may work, who knows.I would agree the popularity is a major factor. It may no longer be a most underrated MM cartridge. 
A DAC to beat NAD C541i?
Thanks again.I am leaning to Mhdt paradisio 3 (or used paradisio +) for budget wise and its USB support. Whatever I end up, I will get back and report how I feel. It will be compared with Marantz DR700 and NAD C541i. 
Most agreed upon best speaker?
Each upgrade of my gears made me happy since I could hear more and better sound, and the music sound more musical. I don't know when the series of upgrades would stop. It may never stop until I die or get broke.It is hard to quantify how much some...

Thorens TD145
I have a TD145 MKii with Grado gold. It works pretty good. But if I were you I would just replace the stylus. Type III would outperform Grado gold. 
Dual 1219 noise
Thanks for your response.I got the table several months ago. It was fine when I got it, but just about a month ago it started noisy. The noise definitely comes from the wheel. I tried to remove the platter, but I couldn't. Looks like it needs a sp...

Best Speakers under USD 2,000 Second Hand Price
I would consider Tyler Linbrook super tower ($2000) for sale in agon. With $700 more I would go for Linbrook sig system.For smaller rooms, Linbrook sig monitor would be hard to beat. 
Tyler Decade D2s: review
Guys, Please provide all your experience on D2.I was so close to get a new D2 (or used LSS) to upgrade my Taylo 7U, but WAF is on my way. I am still trying to get enough fund, so hopefully either LSS or D2 would be within reach soon.How much power...
