| Under $3K streaming dac suggestions, Roon Ready? @jackd @audiotroy @kren0006Thank you everyone for the suggestions so far. The T2 is out of my budget, unfortunately - so the Mytek Brooklyn Bridge and Teac NT-505 are still the current front runners. Both of those let you convert to DSD (DoP) as ... | |
| Best cheapo Cartridge Current production of the Nagaoka MP-200,300, & 500 all have boron cantilevers. | |
| Should I keep the Turntable or sell it? HiFi Heaven is a very good option. Used them numerous times for purchases and trade-ins. Never any issues.I like The Music Room (TMR Audio) the best though, but their selection of turntables is smaller, most of the time. Shipping is fast, and t... | |
| Should I keep the Turntable or sell it? @bignamehere Correct, Pro-Ject and Music Hall are in the same family, so quality should be similar per price range. I have not heard the Sumiko BP2, or Quintet Red, but I have owned the Quintet Black. The Sumiko is a high output MC, which I usua... | |
| Should I keep the Turntable or sell it? I was also not impressed by the Denon cart, especially compared to what else is available for the same price.Not a bad price for the used Emotion, but like @uberwaltz mentioned, I would change the cart. The Denon takes some knowledge, and patience... | |
| Best cheapo Cartridge I 2nd the Nagaoka suggestions. Just picked up an MP-200 a few weeks ago, and it's fantastic.Super fine elliptical diamond stylus, and boron cantilever. Quiet, smooth, and nice warm details. Listening to it is a real joy. | |
| Should I keep the Turntable or sell it? Another combo I would say to take a close look at: The Music Hall MMF 7.3 w/ Ortofon 2M Bronze. Same price range.I also used to own a Clearaudio Emotion CMB (which is a slight upgrade from the Marantz). I had a Maestro V2 cart on my Emotion (bette... | |
| Should I keep the Turntable or sell it? I retract my Technics suggestion/recommendation. Keep what you have, you’ll be happier and that’s most important. | |
| Best DAC to go with Aurender N100H? @mabonn What's the rest of your system? That should at least help with narrowing down some suggestions.I really like the Lumin D2 for a one-box solution, and it's under your budget. You can also get a PS Audio DSD with/ Bridge II for under $5K i... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Pixies back in April of this year. Mostly a greatest hits performance, but that is exactly what I was hoping for!!First time seeing them live, so it was definitely a bucket list concert. | |
| Should I keep the Turntable or sell it? @uberwaltz One can't have too many 1200s. | |
| Should I keep the Turntable or sell it? Things turn out best for those who make the best out of the way things turn out. | |
| Should I keep the Turntable or sell it? @nicktheknife Incorrect speed would drive me crazy too. The speed stability on the Technics is second to none. VTA adjustment (on-the-fly) is the easiest I've ever used as well. Owning numerous cartridges, that is a must - not to mention how e... | |
