| AddPowr Sorcer X4 -- Huh? Build a dream setup with great components/room and you STILL need a "black box." Just part of audio as a hobby-in search of T.I.A. kind of thing I guess? | |
| Weak Link in Vinyl Playback For the level of setup you have, I'd spend a couple bucks on a cartridge upgrade. The concern with cables if unnecessary. | |
| So I bought a WallyScope... So the Wally is just another accessory that ends up in the drawer of audiophoolery? "I'm not sure I understand "heel down" and "toe down" "Heel down"- rear of cart body "Toe down"- front of cart body I suppose if I had a S.O.T.A. rig with a $... | |
| How Long Is Too Long? "It's a small one man operation in California." "I guess I should have asked what his definition of "soon" is." I would interpret this and the other details mentioned as-your gear won't get fixed anytime soon. One person operation that claims... | |

| Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO or Rega Planar 1 or Music Hall MMF-2.3 for casual listening? Whatever you get, an appropriately priced phonostage can possibly make your experience more pleasant than the internal in your preamp. https://www.schiit.com/products/mani | |

How much does a gig like that pay?" pdreher- It's all in the title of the title of the post. Audio influencers get comped with fuses and magic crystal... | |
| Turntable is the most expensive in the chain, do it make sense "clarify your statement? " unreceivedogma- I'm sure your setup sounds good. As mentioned, I'm satisfied VPI user also. The OP and I have have similar level gear that subjectively plays at the 90% or so of "next level"/SOTA LP performance. The... | |

| Picking Speakers 20k-30k That's a nice budget to play with. "current speakers (Persona 3f) are about 4 feet from side walls and 2 feet from back wall." If 2 feet are the max any speaker can be pushed out into the room(aesthetics/S.O) then you're possibly not hearing the... | |
| Turntable is the most expensive in the chain, do it make sense honeyooi- When checking out your profile, I overlooked you have a Basis 2500 also. Doesn't the Basis fill the void left by the Classic? "can you point me out tech who can make me adaptor for use different arm on the classic? " I'd look to the ... | |
| Turntable is the most expensive in the chain, do it make sense If a "better" table is your final destination, you could consider a "better" arm for the VPI base instead of the larger expenditure of both.
