    Man that is tempting. I like it skips blue down lights in front the 4300 has. Looks like only other difference is USB, extra outlet, high current options, and higher joules. For price differences that looks hard to pass on. Wonder how much the extra line filtering on the 5300 helps? Could...

    Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

    I got the 606 with Marantz PM8006 and really like the combo. I highly suggest it if you like the 606. If you see B&W show off the speakers on YouTube they actually use the PM8006 in most videos I have seen. I got my Marantz Safe & Sound open box and would do it again...

    Pioneer PLX 1000 Questions

    Yeah I thought I was good at 3ish but gonna have double check. Read online somebody else say 5ish on 2 tracking force. Took next Friday off work, hoping I get to go to a place that will let me check out both AT VM540ML and AT VM95ML see what I like.

    Pioneer PLX 1000 Questions

    I know you no longer have this table but by chance was yours one off or double the VTF when you adjusted it? If you remember, I know varies cart to cart.

    Pioneer PLX 1000 Questions

    What are people's experiences with anti skate on the PLX? I realize every cart could be different but still curious. Have read conflicting info online. My current cart has 1.8 tracking force and have anti skate around 3. Some people online suggest 1 is actually 0. Anybody else notice this...

    Cables - one of the most taboo subjects in audio

    Personal opinion I would go BJC over Audioquest but that said the LC1 are pretty thick and deep and .might be an issue in some setups with tight storage. Audioquest might be considered better looking and def quicker to buy since Best Buy has them. One thing on the spending money on cables for...

    Cables - one of the most taboo subjects in audio

    I started with Monoprice, then BJC, and now I have Zu Mission across the board. BJC are great and I consider those entry level, the monoprice could not compete. The BJC to Zu is debatable and could be argued preference. With ebay and buy 3 items free shipping I splurged. Power Cable started...

    Do you notice a big difference? I have never used one and was thinking of getting one. I got PLX1000 so shouldn't be an issue.

    I'm scared to even attempt to listen to a tube amp. I'm afraid I will fall in love and throw money at it. Im really happy with my current setup but the Prima Luna stuff has my intrest. The only other thing close to making me splurge is a demo of Dirty Weekends. If I was to spend money right...

    Add a Subwoofer?

    Your opinion is the only one that matters. I got the SVS NSD12SB and it is amazing. When looking I also considered that Polk. Room acoustics plays a huge part here. I'm impressed with mini sub came with my soundbar but that is a tight space. Long story short with subs preferences and...

    Cables - one of the most taboo subjects in audio

    I have noticed a lot of fakes on ebay as well. It actually part of the reason I learned towards direct from Zu.

    Cables - one of the most taboo subjects in audio

    Anybody upgrade their power cable on turntable? Any benefits to doing so? Was thinking about upgrading PLX1000 power cable but you really dont find much info for any turntable power upgrade online.

    Not sure how you aligned your cart, but even though the Pioneer is a Technics clone the arm is shorter. 54mm not 52mm if you used an over hang gauge. If you used a protractor wont matter. I like having multiple head shells for variety of carts.

    Cables - one of the most taboo subjects in audio

    I have never denied wire/cable break in but I never considered to expect a drastic improvement. These Zu Mission speaker wires are now noticeably better than the BJC I had before. Could possibly be the power cable added slightly also. That said I'm noticing a lot better sound from even last...

    Cables - one of the most taboo subjects in audio

    I noticed an obvious improvement with bass on my Vincent Pho8 turntable preamp with original AC14. I know the AC14 are more for source and AC9 more for amps and subs if I remember right.

    Cables - one of the most taboo subjects in audio

    I finally splurged and got some Zu Cables off ebay. Haven't had time to do a fair A/B to my existing setup, but I will say the Power Cable upgrade to my SVS sub made a very noticeable improvement, very noticeable. Just cleaner and quicker. Still experimenting but I would say the general...

    Cables - one of the most taboo subjects in audio

    Which do people prefer? I currently have LC1 in my main system but starting to throw something together in my basement. Might move LC1 down there and try Zu Mission if people like them better.

    The Dark Side; Digital audio equipment recommendations and setup.

    Joe Mac got me on the Raspberry Pi with the Hifi hat and I love it. I'm shocked how good it sounds. Mine goes straight into a Marantz PM8006. I got the steel box from hifiberry too, and it looks nice splitting the Vincent Pho8. Do you have a solid price on the Marantz streamer? I have looked...
