Turntable and cartridge setup known for a marvelous bottom end.

Wow I appreciate all the return comments. I picked up the Pro-Ject Classic at Music Direct, in Chicago. It’s about a 40-minute drive from me. I had Music Direct remove the Sumiko Blue Point #2 and Install the Hanna. The tech worked on it for over an hour so I have always assumed it was mounted correctly. The only place I have for a sub is on a side wall close to the seating. The front of the 16 by 16 foot room is completely filled.

The problem to answering a lot of these questions back to me is that I have jumped the gun. I have up- graded the whole system from just an AVR receiver to all separates and the only equipment I have received so far, are the GeerFab Audio D.BOB Digital Breakout Box, and Innuos Zenith.

The Benchmark equipment is next week, and the Parasound JC 3+, who knows. I should have waited till I had the whole new setup before I asked for advice. I can be a dunce at times.

I can only imagine that once I hear the Hana going to the Parasound to the Benchmark Pre amp and power amp, I will probably orgasm.  But then again, I still would love thoughts on the best set up 10 grand can buy. 

Right now, the Pro-Ject Classic goes to a Pro-Ject Tube Box DS2 then to my AVR Dennon 45H for amplification.

Nice system marshinski 15! Great values throughout. 

The one place where high output cartridges for certain have moving coils beat is in dynmaics and bass. The Clearaudio Charisma is incredible in that regard as is the Soundsmith Voice. I assume 10K was for tonearm,table and cartridge. Either cartridge with the P10 would be excellent. Other tables to consider would be the SME Model 6, The Thorens TD1600 and the Sota Sapphire with a Kuzma 4 Point 9 tonearm which is easily the best value of the bunch. Put the Chrisma on this table and you will have dynamite bass for sure. 

This discussion forum is better than any audiophile mag. It was you guys that steered me to the Innuos Zenith. Thanks for the help

4 subs,Really....I don't use any and my system sounds great....

What interests me most is that we most of us think our systems sound great, and yet our systems are so different from one another and were assembled based sometimes on very different, even conflicting beliefs. And yet each of us who feels that he is at the end of a pathway or very near it, is a happy camper.

By the way, when a commercial speaker maker tells you his product "goes down to 30" or especially if it "goes down to 20", you ought to take that with more than a grain of salt. The statement is meaningless unless the reference frequency is given along with the db difference between the reference frequency (typically 1kHz) and the low bass limit.   So, a guy could say his speakers "go down to 30", and at 30Hz they might be 10db down from the response at 1kHz.  But because he didn't give the details, he also didn't confabulate (nice word for "lie").
