| Your choice - TT, Arm, Stage, Cartridge - $5000 budget Yeah I think I am probably going to pass on the Bronze for the time being. The dealer also also offers other Ortofon, SoundSmith, and Grado carts and already assured me that he will offer me a solid discount on a new cart considering I’m buying a ... | |
| Your choice - TT, Arm, Stage, Cartridge - $5000 budget @jmcgrogan2 So you weren't the biggest fan of the Cadenza bronze? Have you tried any other carts on your Prime?$1600 was just a touch more than I intended on spending on the cart. But the cart lists at $2300. So I can definitely push the boundarie... | |

Ultimately would be very interested on that based on what I've read about However, ain't getting it from analogue seduction.

| Your choice - TT, Arm, Stage, Cartridge - $5000 budget Fact. I've definitely tried a few, but plan on upgrading to something on pair with the quality of setup. I'm open to suggestions for that as well. I've budgeted separate money for that. I just needed to wait untill I determined which table and arm... | |
| Your choice - TT, Arm, Stage, Cartridge - $5000 budget Hopefully the offer for the VPI goes through. Either way, I'll definitely post my experience no matter what direction I ultimately go. My current setup is a Project Debut Carbon with the acrylic platter and a AT 440mlb cart. Ended up being a pret... | |
| Your choice - TT, Arm, Stage, Cartridge - $5000 budget Yeah I am gonna make a bid at the VPI Prime for the time being. Definitely seems like a reasonable option. And its available.I like some of the other tables. Gyrodec, Nottingham, etc. But if I can get the Prime for $2200-2500, that definitely give... | |
| Your choice - TT, Arm, Stage, Cartridge - $5000 budget So I've been taking all the advice here and looking into things pretty heavy.

| Your choice - TT, Arm, Stage, Cartridge - $5000 budget @inna what kind of British brands do you look for? Lots of good input here. Gotta love the hunt. Whats the general consensus about a tube phono stage? | |
| Your choice - TT, Arm, Stage, Cartridge - $5000 budget I am definitely not above buying used on this one. Would almost prefer it to maximize the value. Aside from Agon and USAM, where else would you look for reliable used analog equipment? | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @kdude66 Funny you mentioned hockey pucks...My current subwoofer, an Outlaw Audio, is resting on four DIY hockey pucks. They actually work great. Think I picked them up for about 3 bucks a pop online somewhere. Will have to switch those over when ... | |
