Just added full LP playback
Jeff@frozentundra,Thanks for the compliments. Thorens TD1601 sub-chassis is mounted on three conical springs thus allowing its platter to float vertically. I don’t think I’ve experienced any loss in the bass region with this table. RE: Sibilant. @... 
Just added full LP playback
@frozentundra, Thanks for starting this thread, learning a great deal here. I am also tinkering with Vinyl and recently put together following setup, Thorens - TD1601 with TP 92 tonearm, Hana ML, Parasound - Zphono XRM Phono Preamplifier. The setu... 
Best room treatment
I would recommend you to reach out to GIK Acoustics for a free consultation. IME, they are best in the business and reasonably priced compare to their competitors. Check out some of the systems here that are using their acoustic panels. https://sy... 
DCS Network Bridge? Aqua LinQ Streamer?
@cal3713,RE: LinQ, I inquired last month about in-home audition and my dealer said not possible due to very high demand.  
Audio envy - dang!
^^^No financial stake in AE. Like many others here, just a happy customer who can’t help feeling ecstatic by high performance cables at a very reasonable price of admission.  
Beating a dead horse.... SACD
@riley804,I hear you. My post was not to knock down your suggestions under OP’s budget. It was more in line with a reality check on his bid for a ‘good sounding player’ :-) 
Beating a dead horse.... SACD
+1, @thyname said! Seriously, why bother with choices given by @riley804. You might as well digitized all of your SACD’s. Unless you consider a player like this, you’re just filling an empty spot in your rack. https://www.hifishark.com/goto/65_174...

“A lot of speakers have low impedance in the bass region and it’s been my experience that small gauge speaker wire has a detrimental effect on bass performance.”@turnbowm,Generalizations are often indicative of ignorance. If you’re serious about a...

Audio envy - dang!
@pokey77,Thanks for the compliment. I am going to send you a PM (I prefer not to shame other brands in a open forum). What I do want to express is this, Audio Envy’s cables simply gets out of the way and let’s me enjoy music to the full potential ... 
Pondering a change after 30 odd years...
Another vote for Tannoy’s...look into Prestige Series, Stirlings or Turnberry’s.  
Has anyone ever tried cables made with OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) Copper?
As others have pointed out, OCC copper does sound better (transparent, detailed and smooth) than anything I’ve tried. My system is wired with Audio Envy cables which uses OCC wire and priced reasonably. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/audio... 
Permanent carpet sliders?
Thanks @dill for sharing the link. Didn’t know something like this existed. I just ordered a set :-) 
Tannoy Stirlings on the way!
@bond-san,Much of the specification is the same as that of the Stirling, however the Turnberry features a more substantial, taller cabinet with larger internal volume. So you’re likely to hear a slightly better bass response. Turnberry’s are also ... 
Tannoy Stirlings on the way!
Congratulations @mesch. They are certainly well engineered and exquisitely designed. As time goes on, that gorgeous wood and finish are going to look richer (and darker) after each waxing. As with any electronics, careful matching is very importan...
