Has anyone been able to compare the AT95ml and AT540ml by chance? I have seem numerous people prefer the 540 over 740, but not much on the lower end models. Only one person online I have even see mention for $100 or so it is around 5-10% improvement. Yet I'm interested to hear more. I will...

I have the Marantz PM8006 and really like it. I will say I prefer the Vincent Pho8 over its internal preamp. I also got it refurb off ebay for nice discount and it looked brand new. I would totally suggest that if you go that route. Been awhile but I dont remember the difference between...

I'm now starting to look into this and some new furniture. Right now I got BluJeans LC1 for my interconnects and their 10 White for speaker cable. Only power cable I hot is the original Pangea AC14 on my Pho8 (which made a difference). I guess my questions are: 1) Power Cords worth...

This is terrible news. I love my Pho8 and could care less about USB. What a shame. Part of me wants to horde the remaining stock for future members (sort of kidding).

I followed displayname advice on the SVS NDS 12 and couldn't be happier. I listen to hip hop and classic rock and even when highly intoxicated rarely go above 40% volume on the sub so plenty of power. I only have one too.

I love my PLX1000, full cosign.

I went from LP120 to Pioneer plx1000 for around $500 (musician friend random discount makes it less). I was expecting it to sound better, but I was blown away by how much better it was. As mentioned above you would need a preamp if you use built in. My suggestion is preamp first, then an...

Let me know how you like it.

I think the upgrade on the Vincent Pho8 power cable is a solid upgrade. I got the Pangea AC14, cheaper one not SE and made a difference with low end for sure.

I am with JoeMac on this one. Get the Pho8 and upgrade your preamp. My first setup had a similar Onkyo and the Pho8 was a huge improvement. That Pho8 beats any built in preamp I have put it up against and been a couple. If you want vintage and save money with decent return I enjoyed the...

What about using needle nose plyer try to slightly bend cantilever back? At worst you snap already bent stylus. Im just guessing.

Also if it did that on the blank record, correct me if Im wrong, you should probably turn up your antiskate.

Looking into a new cartridge and ordered a Jelco HS20 headshell. Doing some research realized the manual says 54" overhang and I believe mine is set to 52" Technics standard. What do my fellow PLX1000 owners use to align their new cartridges with? If 52" works roll with it or should I use a...

With the PLX1000 a popular choice and recommendation on the forum figured I would start a thread.

I was pushed to the SVS SB12NSD by displayname. They have been available black friday for $300 last 3 years. I bought mine off Craiglist and it is a very nice sub. Power wise I keep it at around quarter volume and it thumps. It complements my bookshelves very well. I strongly endorse SDS...

By chance did you ever compare the VM95ML and the VM540ML when you got it?

Do you notice static at all when touching record afterwards? When I get bad static can sound like that. Hard tell through my cheapo work headphones. Edit: I started run the carbon fiber brush on record before putting it on platter and that helped but weather changing could have helped more.

I got the Marantz PM8006 and I really enjoy it. I got it off ebay from Safe and Sound refurb for like $800 during an ebay electronic sale. It looked brand new in every way and would cosign that dealer. Ebay runs 20% sales randomly if you time it right.
