| Next step in a turntable upgrade path I've been using one of these for over 10 years. VPI Industries Classic 2 For Sale | Audiogon Probably could negotiate the price lower. The latest gimbal arm is a drop in upgrade, if so inclined. Put one of these as a later upgrade for speed co... | |
| Building a second, vinyl focused system. Speaker advice needed! (<$10k) "Real wood, furniture grade cabinetry" Aesthetic+ sound= Sonus Faber Too bad you're not open to used.

| Next step in a turntable upgrade path Nice inviting room and cool Marantz 8b. "I'm looking for something better as a base, and with more of an upgrade path." With that in mind, I'd also include a tube phonostage. Schiit Mani is great for what it is, but you're ready to invest in gea... | |
| How much do I need to spend to make vinyl sound better than digital? Phonostage, phonostage, phonostage- don't forget the phonostage! $5,477.36 including taxes and tariff charges is about right. Using a significantly better phono pre and cart wil keep you content until you're prepared to spend another $5477.36 fo... | |

| Alice Cooper vs. Al Di Meola? These turntables aren't novelty garbage, maybe kinda/sorta audiophile level? Who buys this stuff? Maybe on a world wide level 🤔 , but I can't imagine either being a hot item in the U.S. "The Neil Young "On the Beach" model, featuring a sand-inf... | |
| Best Holographic Speakers ~$7k per pair julesg13th- Your thread has gone the predictable route recommendations of mostly speakers you'll NEVER be a able to hear. Your 2 realistic choices: Get out there and listen to stuff or blind faith reading reviews/forums. | |
| Best Holographic Speakers ~$7k per pair You're about to drop $7k, I would spend the traffic time and gas to visit all the LA/Orange Co. spaces possible and just listen to decide. You're also aware they won't sound as holographic unless you have a dedicated/ treated room? One person... | |
| Anyone heard the new Mofi V10 Master Edition at Axpona? After the intro of the 888's, it was just a matter of time for a rollout of these. Looks like the speaker to put on the list if looking for a substantial floor stander. The big question is... could GR Research find something "wrong" with these? ... | |
| FM radio reception "I’ll try a powered antenna," You'll also amplify noise. | |
| FM radio reception You'll have much better results with one of these https://www.audioadvisor.com/mdst2?srsltid=AfmBOoolWusGX1_gTHryTDN6V9i2tmAwXxaCacKG9Vp6dt-k4_mkG75W Nothing will better a proper rooftop. I used one before going rooftop on my MR71. | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One VPI does have good support AFTER you've purchased their product. I bet Technics would at least offer a technical support service center location as a resource especially for a model still in production despite being out of warranty? Regardles... | |
| Audio Technica AT-ART1000X There are probably many ways to spend $5500+ on "upgrading" LP performance on the OP’s Technics 1300G. I’d go ART 20 and perhaps use the rest in a future upgrade of a next level phonostage. The ART 20 likely isn’t THAT far off in performance(rel... | |
| Chronos tweak at Axpona Uh boy, another audio show "thingie"... If the OP AND his wife heard improvement, fine. But anyone who's been to shows have said the same thing about countless thingies doing the same thing over and over again. I'll blow my money on room, gear a... | |
| Is there usually a dramatic difference between $5k and $10k cartridges ? In my post, I didn’t mention Lexus worked with Yamaha’s audio division to perfect the LFA’s 9000 RPM scream. I have experienced a couple of random LFA sightings and it sounds like a Formula 1 engine with the intensity knob turned down. https:/... |
