| The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you? Bought a Pioneer SX-1250 back in 1979 while I was in grad school. Still have it and listen to it every day. Had a complete restoration done on it about 8 years ago. I also have the same Denon DP-59L turntable bought around the same time, also re... | |
| Is there any fan of Mettalica here? I have always loved Metallica. Until "Death Magnetic" came out. I found it unlistenable. I had my system adjusted to my usual volume setting and found myself continually getting up and turning the volume down further and further. The extreme co... | |
| Turntable prices. Is my mind going? Reminds me of the old, "What's the difference between a $2 dollar cigar and a $10 cigar?" Answer: $8 dollars. | |
| Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :) Restored Pioneer SX-1250, Denon DP-59L turntable, Denon DL-103R/Musikraft Lithium headshell, Magnepan 1.7i speakers, Anticables throughout. Total investment about $6,500. Completely satisfying to my 70 year old ears. | |
| Burn your power cables in PROPERLY with Haglabs Frycorder These will never sell many at that price. If they increased the price is to $27,000 they'll have to ramp up production to a 24/7 operation. | |

| What happens when the stylus tip wears out on a $12,000 cartridge? Thank you for that mulveling. Very interesting. I asked because when Stereophile magazine reviews a cartridge they never really provide any "afterlife" info regarding what restoration services a manufacturer may or may not offer. | |

| Your greatest high end audio purchase!!! I had a Pioneer SX-1250, Denon DP-59L, and Denon DL-103 when I was in grad school over 40 years ago. Since then I've owned numerous receivers, integrated, preamps, power amps, turntables, cartridges, and speakers. Guess what's in my listening ro... | |
| New Phono Cart with Character Needed Audio Musikraft Lithium head shell loaded with guts from a Denon DL-103 or 103R. Simple set up, awesome sound. Audiophile Magazine "A" rating. | |
| What to do with a large collection Back in the early 80's I traded all ~800 of my vinyl albums for about 20 CD's at a local shop. Over the years, my CD collection reached about 1200. Then I got back into vinyl again. To me the sound was preferable to CD's, so I took about 1000 o... | |
| Ultimate Turntable search...OMA K5 or ? I'm quite content with my Denon DP-59L with Audiomusikraft Lithium headshell with Denon 103R guts. Less than $2K all in. Good enough. | |
