" It should be ready in January" Great way to start the New Year. Enjoy it! When the bug bites, you can always find a really nice used arm(when you're ready to try a "better" cart) in the listings.

"I have the big panels" ?? andrewkelley-Your ML's unquestionably are very good. I prefer the technology over conventional boxes. I use an older generation of ML's to good effect with a pair of REL's as well. But to compare them to  the Soundlab...

Aggrivated tinnitus from speakers?

The listing for your next setup looks like an owner saying goodbye LP playback. My guess listing isn't getting much traction, which is the reason for that drop in price. You're getting "better" than ALOT of new gear under $10K+? The Grado is a b...

Taking a look at what appears to be the unit you’re describing, you’ll have a fantastic upgrade. You should have "next level" listening experience just with the cart included. All things in perspective-it will out perform/equal anything near the...
