Maybe a dumb question, but would playing the 78s at 45 rpm be sufficient for your purposes? Surface noise, clicks/pops would still be noticeable, right?

Per my above post, I was in the market for different headphones. Not only did the Grados hurt to wear but the left channel up and died. Enter a new pair of b-stock HiFiMan Edition XS (Open back planars) and a used Schiit Lyr 3 headphone amp. I'm using a Bluesound Node2i that was temporarily...

I have a pair of Grado SR225e. They sound nice, but actively hurt to wear for more than an hour or two. If you plan on long listening sessions, I'd steer clear.

A phono preamp with a headphone jack for $200 probably won't sound much better than your current phono, and the headphone amp portion will probably be mediocre. You'd maybe have to get up closer to the $400-500 range for a Mofi Ultraphono w/ headphone jack to upgrade. Assuming the amp you're...

I'll definitely report back. After my post last night, all I wanted to do was feed it my best sounding, most sound saturated albums. It's got audiophile, high end sound, yet incredibly fun and immersive.

Got mine today. I have the 1000E model, along with Grado Gold3 w/8mz and Mofi Ultratracker cartridges. All are on their own headshells, running on a SL1200 mkII, then to a Sutherland Insight. The SAE out if the box is clearly better than both of them. The SAE has better, deeper bass than the...

Of course you do...

Ah, didnt see that disclaimer. It'll save me crawling around the floor thinking I lost them. (I got the elliptical version). Also, I've got my SoundSmith Zephyr MIMC packed and approved for retipping. Let's see - Forgotten screws with our impulse SME cartridge orders and a Zephyr retip...

We needed to buy mounting hardware?!?

Walked into my favorite local today looking for nothing in particular, and I stumbled into the only grail I really had. Practically mint all around, no shipping worries to deal with, and about half the going Discogs rate. I have the KG cut and this is better. More dynamic, punchier drums...
