New cartridge $500 range
My BP#2 is 15 years old time or a change. A friend let me borrow his Soundsmith Otello. Really liked how it sounded, but again the gain forced me to turn the volume  up more than I’m comfortable with. Thought about the Denon, don’t know if my pho... 
New cartridge
He didn’t like the output. He went with a Denon DL103. Something I’m now thinking of looking into. I like the Otello, it just bothers me that I have to turn the volume of my amp up so high.Also thinking of the A-T VM740ML or VM760SLC as well as th... 
What is the most FUN pair of speakers you've ever had and why?
I owned a pair of Klipsch Heresy's way back in 1981. Ran them through a Luxman Integrated Amp with a Nakamichi B2 cassette deck and a Denon turn table. First real system while in the Navy. They were GREAT party speakers. Every year in May we had a...

DAC that will play 196/256 files through optical input
Yes I know the Vault only samples up to196. I'm okay with that. The problem is my Oppo only samples 196 through the USB input. Limited to 96 through the optical or coax inputs.

I am using a Bluesound Vault.  The only digital out is an optical output.

Marantz SR7005 OR Pioneer ELite SC-35
I have a Pioneer Elite 25. Upgraded from a Denon 3805. I'm very happy with the PE 25. It was much easier than the new Denons to set up. I have some ventilation issues so the D class amp helped. It sounds great to me, I know it's not really high en...
