| Best cartige for the money and why? Hana LE for about $500 is a good recommendation. The next model up (shibata stylus LS) is over your budget. Line contact styli like the shibata and other wide-profile types can have better detail retrieval and longer life than cheaper conical and ... | |
| what CD player or dac I should get. my preamp is sp10, amp is d-150 An active subwoofer will really help the bass! I bought a second-hand Carver The Cube sub for use with my Quads. A good and recommendable purchase! | |
| How much do you need to spend on analog to rival digital? When I wanted to add a NEW TT/cartridge to my collection I chose the Pioneer PLX1000/Denon 103R ($1K total).Certainly musically satisfying - and limited by the vinyl source's mastering! | |

IMO the proliferation of more and more costly DACs is a marketing ploy for the insecure a... | |
| what CD player or dac I should get. my preamp is sp10, amp is d-150 For large-scale symphonic works (Bruckner, Mahler, Strauss ...) and opera played LOUD bigger Magneplanars and more watts will yield MORE realism! | |
| what CD player or dac I should get. my preamp is sp10, amp is d-150 Larger Magnepan's will offer better bass - with the trade-off of requiring more amplifier wattage! My Perreaux 2150B would drive the 30.7 with ease - 680 watts@ 4 ohms! | |
| what CD player or dac I should get. my preamp is sp10, amp is d-150 There are plenty of older CD players available on eBay. That's where I bought my Marantz CD63 - still an excellent unit!
