Turntable upgrade advice
Thanks for all the recos. I'd love to hear all of these. The Notty is really the only possibility unless I can find some local dealers with demos or used decks. Don't think there is any way to demo the Gen Dandy Super 12, however it gets nothing b...

101, the bass was definitely a concern with this table after reading some of the reviews. I think fremer said it was a little limited (the standard poly w/ 750D arm). Is it the super12 upgrades that improve the low end or are you hearing better re...

Yeh, I'm leaning towards seeing if the MC is even retippable at this point. So curious about that Art9 though

Appreciate the reco's guys. My concern is that if I go for a new cart I want to fit a wide variety of arms since I'd like to upgrade from the concept at some point. Any Ideas on the Art9 vs the concept MC? The Art9 seems to be the new "IT" cart, j...

Not much time for that with two kids. Also, I'm not a huge classical fan, I appreciate it but my stable is filled with mostly rock, pop, jazz, electronic.

Who is the WORST Audio Shop?
No bad experiences but the now defunct sound advice in jax Florida. Salesman refused to demo a sub with music, subs are for HT only. So I walked and bought it online for substantially less money 
Who is the WORST Audio Shop?
Not many places near me but Hollywood Sound in south Florida was very accommodating. I demoed speakers from focal, psb, paradigm (non of which they seem to carry anymore) but none were really to my liking. However, I wouldn't hesitate to venture d... 
Requesting Advice on Speaker Upgrade
The LSA 1 Statements can be found used at the top of your budget. If that's a no go you might consider the Signatures. Salk makes some good bookshelf speakers in that range. Also I think the Philharmonic Philharmonitor may be at the top end but wo... 
The best monitor under 1500
I think the LSA 1 Statements would sound perfect in a smaller space. I have mine in a large Open space. They are not embarrassed but would excel in a smaller room. They have pretty good low end output, does very well with vocals, and the ribbon tw...

Any opinions on the Philharmonic BMR vs the LSA Statement, the concept MC vs AT Art9 or Charisma, or the Marchand?

That definitely gives me something to think about. I really like the ic3se cables, have some dhlabs and some xhadows. I like both. The dhlabs have a more burnished tone and the xhadows a bit of sparkle. I'll consider giving the sc5se cables a go.
