Power Cord for Pass Int 60-Under 1K used
I appreciate all the suggestions. I really do respect all opinions relating to this crazy hobby. I started 30  years ago with an Akai integrated amp and a Pair of Bose 901 series VI. My first real high end purchase was a Phillips CD 880 probably i... 
Bass distortion-Playing LP's only,,,,please help
I get the cartridge loading, I have a lot of choices with my Plinius Koru.Without sounding stupid...and I've never proclaimed myself an audio expert....What exactly is Turntable isolation???  The first thing that comes to mind is a 2-3 inch platfo... 
Bass distortion-Playing LP's only,,,,please help
The KAB rumble filter did not solve the issue. In fact my system did not like the addition. I am solving the issue by adjusting the bass controls on the Martin Logan Montis's,,,,,and moving the Montis's farther out into the room away from the turn... 
Bass distortion-Playing LP's only,,,,please help
I ordered the KAB Rumble filter.....I'll let you know what the results are. I can't move my turntable due to my setup. I did move the M/L Montis's out into the room more.....The amazing thing is: It doesn't happen all the time. The sound in my new...

Wow.... I have never heard of a rumble filter....but it sounds spot on to my issue. My bass cabinets aren't accessible,so I can't confirm the rumble. However for 180 bucks its worth a try.... thanks guys.

Ortofon Quintet Black S Cartridge-Looking for opinions
I appreciate the above opinions...Thank You. goldprintaudio.....your comments were exactly what I was looking for. I want a good match up with the Prime. SoundstageDirect told me the same thing....its reassuring to hear it from another dealer. 
Looking for a new cartridge- Dynavector Karat 17D3 or Sumiko Blackbird
I'm planning on adding the Pass X15  phono preamp which has suitable gain for a low output MC cart. Matching a cart with a turntable/arm and a phono pre can be very confusing with all the different dynamics involved. Thanks for all the responses. ... 
Integrateds, which one??????????????
I get it...we all have a budget to stay within. I would just say this..The Parasound Halo probably should cost 5K...its that good. Used if you can find one would probably cost 1500-1700. The bonus with the Parasound Halo would be....you won't need... 
Integrateds, which one??????????????
I second the Parasound Halo. Absolute world beater in that price range. Built in DAC and a decent phono section should put this on your short list. Personally I've owned Krell/Pass/Plinius.....I was shocked how good Parasound sounds. Also their cu...
