| A new turntable under 500-700euros I second the butcher block acoustics, I have the 1 3/4 inch walnut version with the rubber cone adjustable feet. $100 bucks money well spent. Not sure how OP has his turntable mounted, but I would recommend a turntable shelf. I use the apollo stee... | |

| Another Cart opinion thread.... I own the original mmf7 with original eroica h cartridge. It’s a fabulous table. It was in storage for many years and recently brought it back out and it plays like day 1. My recommendation, as another said, is to maybe replace the preamp. I highl... | |
| Original Blue Notes vs Reissues Just to add, most of the "sealed" records I have bought have corner cuts, punch holes etc...and are most likely bought up old store stock nos records that did not sell. I don’t care if the titles are not mainstream or on the "TAS" list or even if ... | |
| Original Blue Notes vs Reissues Well I’ll take my chances, they do exist....I can tell if they have been played before reasonably well upon unsealing.....I have only been burned twice on a sealed record and both times I returned them for refunds....we are not talking about major... | |
| Original Blue Notes vs Reissues I buy sealed original issue lp’s on Ebay mostly. There is a seller on there right now that has listed over 800 sealed older records. I just bought 24 of them for $398 bucks. To me it was a bargain. I once bought 10 sealed original issue julie lond... | |

| Recommendations for a Phono Preamp Musical fidelity lx lps. Comes with loading plugs and sounds way above its price point. The pro-ject tube box ds2 is also nice with front panel mounted loading adjustments. | |
| Hana Cartridges / Excel The pioneer plx 1000 direct drive turntable received a nice recommendation via stereophile...only $699. I own all belt drives, may give the pioneer a shot. My last dd table was a denon dp 37f, which was very nice...sold it on Ebay in mint conditio... | |
| Hana Cartridges / Excel The hana el is no slouch either, probably the best sounding low cost moving coil on the market. It really has a way with bass, and has an open sound. Compared to my blue point no 2, it makes it sound a bit closed in. The sl will deal with sibilanc... | |
| Component Stacking Question Then how do you explain how an integrated amp works? It's all in one chassis in even closer proximity to the low level preamp section, and seemingly sounds ok....I see absolutely no issue in stacking. | |
| Bi-Wire Jumpers I biwire my wharfies using qed silver anniversary xt cables and they sound excellent. I'm in the biwire camp. | |
| Speaker recommendation thread (Organised by tiers of price) You know what I’m going to say (and what herb Reichert says) Under $500Wharfedale diamond 225’s ($449/on sale now for $349)Believe it or not, the diamond 220's sounded fantastic as well at $349.

| Reasonable high end interconnects: without breaking the bank Chord makes very good affordable interconnects in the chord c-line and clearway. Also, atlas cable's elements and integra line is great. Lastly qed makes the qunex line of cables. |
