2023 AXPONA Show Report
Don't see Sanders sound system listed at Axpona  
Cadenza Bronze on a Fatboy
@dogberry what protractor/setup are you using to look at the angle? In the pic it's at 23 degrees what is your goal?  
Vinyl static ionizers who's used them?
Bigtwin not really the same, I've borrowed a Destat III and I'll admit it worked for maybe 5 minutes the effect quickly wears off. The other 2 static eliminators continously throw out those neg ions while your LP is spinning although at a signific... 
Focal Sopra, Kanta, Aria
Wouldn't call B&W 802D bright but has a sharp "edge" to some high frequencies. At least every time I've heard them at a friend's place. Go listen to some Joseph Audio Perspectives and then you will know what an extended top end should sound li... 
speaker cables under 1k for Harbeth 30.2XD?
Audiomica flies under the radar but worth a look and listen  
Kirmuss Cleaning System Discuss?

How should I upgrade? A new preamp with a phono stage or just a phono preamp?
What table, arm and most importantly cartridge are you using?  
Real world Loudspeakers what does very good cost ?
@soix I agree but why have those speakers been listed now for 141 days!  
Best Phono Preamp mm/mc under $3500.00 used
Never got along with the Parasound JC3+ thought it was noisy. Now the Gold Note PH-10 is wonderful, dead quiet and so versatile.  
If you had to narrow your choices to 4 - 5 speakers
Thanks again for all the suggestions but @smatsui is correct I'm looking to hear speakers at Axpona and usually buy new, just a personal preference.   
Good DAC for Home Studio
@pacificm what's your budget?  
analog upgrade suggestions needed
@jsbail It's been awhile did you get a new cartridge?  
If you had to narrow your choices to 4 - 5 speakers
Thanks all for the suggestions. I've already, and was close to pulling the trigger on some JA Perspectives, and still might. But since I've decided to go to Axpona I'd thought I'd hear from this forum. I believe the Acora's usually show only their... 
Bricasti Model 1 Series II DAC
What's the cost of upgrading an M1SE to the M1S2? Would it be worth buying a used M1 then having it upgraded?
