| Inexpensive MM Cartridge Shure v15 on the used mart. The best you can afford. No brainer with that tt. | |
| Frail and Bedazzled My vinyl rig officially trumps my digital. Just stunning. I just set the vtf on my ortofon black .025 heavier and my mind is blown. Never stop tweaking. Puff and tweak I say. | |
| Recommendation for a replacement speaker cable +1 kimber 8tc. Excellent speaker cable. | |
| DAC finalist please help Chord cutest. 1500. Lights out awesome. Fpga will never need updating. Such a full, analog sounding dac. Love mine. | |
| RIP - Aretha Franklin Zavato- how sad. I love my ear 834 phono pre. Truly a gifted engineer. Rip. | |
| I love sad music Agree with mikeydread. Fantastic call. Sun kil moon is over the top. I can only listen to that album once a year. It haunts me every time. Especially duk koo Kim- due your research on that song and it’s even more haunting. Tragic | |

| Looking to buy a quality integrated $10,000 budget. I like the leben 600. Also agree with Luxman or accuphase. Can’t go wrong with those products and klipsch speakers. Been lusting after an accuphase integrated for 10 yrs. . Too expensive in the us. | |
| REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab First, that krell can drive any speaker. Second, you’re in a nice situation to purchase new speakers but an even better one if you buy used. The choices in the 5k range are great. I’d say you could get a better used speaker at this price range tha... | |
| Tube Amp lower power vs higher power and cruising volume Sometimes it’s best to leave well enough alone and enjoy the music. I’m guilty of upgraditis when my system sounds sublime. I’m starting to just listen to the music now. I’d wait on any upgrade. You will know when it’s time. | |
| phono preamp < $500 Agree with lounge audio. Have fun | |
| JBL L65 vs Forte III vs Cornwall IV I’ve had them all. I miss the jubals the most. Just a great speaker with those crystal slot tweeters. Too bad I sold them. At least my buddy bought them and loves them. | |
| What s the best Class A integrated tube amp over 80W Check out a cayin h80a integrated. You can find them used for about 2-2.5k. I’ve heard them and they sound excellent. Dual mono design as well. Good luck | |
| Brand new VPI Prime 21 or used Clearaudio Innovation compact Will agree uni pivot designs are odd. I have a vpi classic 3. It’s awesome. If you like tinkering, a high end tt is great. The on the fly vta is genius. You have a nice system. Have fun on your analog journey. |
