| Phono preamp/cartridge recommendations I would split the money 50/50 on a good used cartridge and a used phono preamp. If you do your research you should be able to land some decent gear. | |
| So many new TT's at lower price, still better off buying used? If you know the history and age of a table you will get much more buying used.

| broken dreams - new cartridge help please! Try to install some type of lock for the tt cover. | |
| broken dreams - new cartridge help please! I’m sure Soundsmith, Vas or one of the other cartridge repair services will be able to help you out. I had my Sumiko Blue Point 3 done and it was better than new. Lots cheaper than buying new. | |

| Which technology is a better match for my Parasound Halo A21? Hi I used the Parasound Hint which has less power with Maggie 1.7i and the combination was pure magic.

| Parasound A23+ vs. Emotiva XPA-DR2 I would add that I owned Emo 1l monos and then switched to a Parasound Hint and the difference was astounding much more musical in all area's more significant bass and less harsh highs with the Hint. | |
| Parasound A23+ vs. Emotiva XPA-DR2 I would opt for soundstage, clarity and detail to get the cleanest music possible. Quality always wins vs quantity. | |
| That "Wow" Moment! If you liked that lp try Savoy Brown Hell Bound Train | |
| Stereo Amp I have the Pass 250.8 and it's an amazing amp.It will take total control of your speakers and will give you plenty on bass and bass control. I've been using it with Maggie 3.7i and until recently with a sub. The sub died and I'm amazed at the bass... |
