| Kris Kristofferson I went to a John Mellencamp concert six or seven years ago. Carleen Carter was the opener. Her music was okay, but she told some great stories. After her mom married Johnny Cash, they bought a house and property in Tennessee. She ( about 12 years... | |
| Nice vintage $2k Turntable, cartridge, and phono stage Well I finally bought a refurbished Pioneer PL-518 turntable. It is almost a match of what I had in the late 70’s. Its coming with an inexpensive cartridge, and I am looking to replace it immediately. I am looking at a Denon dl-110. I’m curious i... | |

| Nice vintage $2k Turntable, cartridge, and phono stage I appreciate the responses. There are several brands I had not considered. I was a little surprised a couple of brands didn’t come up- Pioneer and Linn come to mind. Any thoughts on those? | |

| What’s your latest high-end audio purchase? Simaudio Moon 340i integrated, and 280D DAC/ streamer. Replaced a Peachtree Audio Nova 150 and a Bluesound Node 2 streamer. Huge upgrade, now I “need” to upgrade my speakers. | |

| Buying Advice Thanks for the input. It is another good option, it’s not at th top of the list. | |
| Opinions on system replacement Good point. That was my original plan! | |
| Opinions on system replacement I bought them with upgraded crossovers that were done by previous owner.Never heard them as they came from the factory. | |
| Cambridge Audio CXC Series 2 I have not made any improvements to my my CXC. Thanks for the suggestion. I am still in my 60 day trial period, and I keep going back and forth on whether or not to keep it. Part of it is just plain old vanity. I feel like I bought a Honda Accord,... | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? I have a couple posts in this thread stating I did not like my new Cambridge Audio CXC after comparing it to my Node2 streamer. I have since had a chance to listen and do a few more comparisons, and would like to retract my earlier statements. I h... | |
| Considering getting a CD player (again). Used? New? Criteria? Apologies if you thought I was pushing a streamer instead of buying a CDP. My point was the sound quality of my streamer is significantly better than the CXC. I would like a CDP or transport that sounds as good as or at least greatly reduces the... |
