I have been on the hunt for the best turntable I can buy. Any suggestions?
Linn LP 12 or VPI 
Simaudio versus Accuphase?
Never heard of those speakers 
To upgrade from Simaudio 600I to 740p/860a combo?
Yes you should definitely do that it will be much much better. 
Simaudio versus Accuphase?
Well dummy the same audio is class A for the first five Watts. 
Simaudio versus Accuphase?
And the build quality of the accu-phase is not as good as Sim audio look at how cheap the speaker terminals are with plastic knobs that's a joke!!! 
Speaker Cables
I also agree pcocc is the best wire for audio because it has no Crystal barriers in it like ofc wire does. Ofc wire has 600 Crystal barriers per foot which is little fractures in The wire. Pcocc has zero. Acoustic Zen prices are very reasonable co... 
Considering Gryphon Diablo 300 "OR" Simaudio 700iv2 ???
Audio Troy  you need to get your ears checked again the Sim audio gear is not on the bright side of anything it's very neutral so if you're getting brightness from SIM it's either your speakers or your cables that's making it sound bright. 
30 foot long Balanced Cables to Balanced/RCA Adapters into Amp's Stereo RCA inputs?
Problem is they're not going to be balanced anymore once you put the adapter to RCA you defeated the purpose of having a balanced cable. 
Sellers: When do you drop your price?
Just for your information so that you know all used  equipment is 50% off that's a given. 
Low gain dac!
Try the wyred for sound 10th anniversary dac. One of the most analog sounding dacs out there according to the reviewers. Beat many more expensive dacs like the COS1 Bricasti, chord, Sim Audio that cost twice as much. 
Reccomend a good preamp for me.
I like the Sim audio 740p and the 850 p but they are quite expensive, the 850p is 32,000 US but it is very natural sounding incredible preamp. 
My System's Weakest Link - What Say You...
The only thing I would change out is the dac. The wyred for sound 10th anniversary dac is much better. It is one of the most analog sounding dacs that I've heard on the market and it beats up on much more expensive dacs like bricasti cord Cos 1 Si... 
Magico Customer service
And since magical don't even make their own cabinets they're outsourced and they don't make their own drivers are very overpriced anybody that would pay $100,000 for a speaker is an idiot when their speakers out there that are quarter of the price... 
Magico Customer service
Exotic speaker parts? are you like an idiot? even the best drivers out there don't cost that much, give your head a shake and learn something. 
Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3
Actually the monitor audio Platinum is much better than the magico, the sound stage is much more three-dimensional and enveloping, the depth and the separation are better as well, so yes one is better than the other.
