I have a parasound I have never used and can’t remember the model number of. Maybe able to incorporate that as well. Disappointing to hear that the PM6007 won’t have enough ass in it. Would the PM7000N’s extra 15wpc make a difference?

Yes, I’m hoping the Opus 3 finds its way into my stocking this year. Then I can compare it to my Shure v15 type iii and decide from there.

Thanks for the info. Does seem a bit tedious, but if I can find a spare headshell and mount a mono version of the cart I decide to go with… Probably just better for me to save up for an UltraDeck or 2nd StudioDeck and make one my mono setup. I’ll be listening to more mono than stereo if the...

Is the shure a good fit on the studiodeck?

I’m curious if my thinking on this is correct and how moving up in gear affects the difference if at all.

I think you’re right. My eyes are finally starting to go as I inch toward 50 so setting up a cart every time would get old quick. Guessing I’ll keep my pl530 and try making it a mono deck until I come to a verdict on the studiodeck when it arrives.

I’ve been really curious to do something for mono pressings being being the majority of my listening will be classic jazz pressings. I’d really love to hear my Are You Experienced mono original pressing through a mono cart. I’m assuming switching carts on the studiodeck would be a ridiculous...

After reading about the Timbre line it seemed that the Platinum (original first pick) didn’t offer enough over their Opus for me to want to pay the extra. I’m thinking that maybe the Sonata and the mono counterpart would be the ultimate cart goal for me but we’ll see. Do you have a dedicated...

i was considering the bronze and maybe a matching mono before settling on the StudioDeck so very good to know that it doesn’t seem to be as good a match for the sound I’m looking for compared to the Opus. You’ll have to let me know what you think as you climb the Timbre line. I thought about...

Thanks for “weighing in”. Your thoughts seem to be in line with what I was thinking after reading review after review and considering what I felt most comfortable as a starting cart budget. Feels good to get supporting feedback from those with experience and knowledge on a subject I’m not...

I may give that a try. I have always wanted to have a mono set up as well so maybe this is my excuse to do so. The 530 is mechanically strong. However, the idio… I mean individual who sold it to me left parts that got loose and bounced around under the still attached dustcover during shipping...

Is there a model you recommend for best bang for your buck. Hate to spend too much as I could just see if MusicDirect will let me exchange the PM6007 toward a PM7000N and I pay the less than $300 difference Before I even open it.

This reminds me of another question. I was looking at a Wiim or Ifi for Bluetooth or streaming addition since I ended up with the Marantz PM6007 over the PM7000N. What are the thoughts on this? Worth the added expense over the basic BT adapter in my current setup?

This seems to match what I’ve read in the “research” I’ve been doing over the past several days and that’s why I threw the Opus in my wish list. Of what’s left there, that’s the one thing off that list that I hope makes it my way. Maybe the Grado SR-60X too.

This is great information. I will probably stick to my Cornwallis then unless the Wharfedales end up being grabbed of my wishlist for the holiday. I do enjoy their sound. I just have way too much gear and I would like to get the space back. I don’t need a R2R, eq, 8track, cassette deck, tuner...

That’s good to know. I got lucky on that cart as it and a thorens tt came with the Pioneer amp and tuner when I bought them. Cart was brand spanking new in the box. Was just sitting in the guy’s storage building. I know some of the gear I have is thought to be nice but I have no idea how it...

I figured that to be the case. Just saw the deep discounts on open box pairs on MusicDirect with an additional 15% off making the Wharfedale Diamond 12.4 about $500 a pair And was curious if the sound would be a good match or at least not too much of a drop off for the amount of floor space I’d...

I’ll let you know. Just depends if it gets grabbed off my MusicDirect list for the holidays. Thanks for the input. I’m coming off a shure v15 type iii so I was just looking for a new cart that would hopefully be an upgrade. Was looking at the Hana EL but liked the aesthetic and price on the Opus...

I know I do have the Crites crossovers as I received the original crossovers when I purchased the speakers but I don’t know if anything else was upgraded.

I know it’s bad but I don’t remember. I’ll need to check when I get home from work later tonight.
