Agreed! It was nice having disposable income for a while, but with grad school it's harder to save up money (unless I work like crazy). I'm definitely content with my current set up, but I'm gonna start saving up for a nicer turntable. I should be able to save up quite a bit in 1-2 years (if I...

Thanks! And yeah, probably not unless I upgrade yet again. That's not happening anytime soon though 😭 I'm really digging it though. Seriously. I can't always listen with the volume turned up and the detail still comes through at low volumes. Can't complain and definitely worth the money!

Not sure if this is the right thread to post this, but I was able to upgrade my system and have everything running in less than a week thanks to all you lovely people. I just need to break them in but everything is in working order! Also, I will have to figure out whether or not bi wiring is...

A month late, but I'm looking forward to the album release in March. The added bonus is it somewhat coincides with spring break (for me at least) and hopefully I'm able to go somewhere warm and just have this on repeat:

Oops - NAD C 316BEE v2

Damn. I can't wait to to hear the difference already. Also, thank you fam for offering suggestions, deals, recommendations, etc. I really appreciate everyone's input! Considering how much of a noob I am when it comes to this stuff, I'm glad that I have y'all to help me make a...

That's good to know! There's no turning back now, and I appreciate your input. I think I made a good decision to buy the R100s

Eh, I can get past it. Sound quality > everything else honestly. Thanks for your input! Gonna go ahead and buy the R100s now :ROFLMAO:

Too many options! 😂 Honestly, the black definitely looks better with everything that I currently have, but the R100s are a steal too...gonna have to read up on both and see which one I like. Edit: I also saw Kef Q350s with a noticeable discount — @HiFi Guy what’s your opinion about these three?

Ooh, yeah — might get these then.

Thanks @HiFi Guy !!

Music Direct is very reliable but I haven't had any experiences with refurbished products -- I shouldn't have anything to worry about, right? (I have a factory refurbished Marantz PM6006 sitting in my cart right now :ROFLMAO: )

😭😭😭

I think the vinyl gods are conspiring to upgrade my set up; received my W-2 yesterday so my tax return has been filed. So as far as passive speakers and amp, I was thinking of ELAC Debut 2.0 B6.2 and the Marantz PM6006? Budget is 1,000 USD (1,500 max) I prefer bookshelf speakers for now due to...

Oooh, that looks super neat! Maybe once I own a house, I can plan on possibly getting something along the lines of that. For your wallet's sake, I sure hope so -- but realistically speaking, you will probably exceed the storage capacity :ROFLMAO:

Gotcha. Thanks for for the explanation! I definitely have a lot to think about, but thanks again for your advice! Right now I’m leaning towards the Grado based on your explanation, with the added bonus of upgrading the stylus if I choose to do so (and honestly, it’ll probably help in the long...

I agree completely 😭 I’ll have to save up money to buy another record stand at some point and hope that my collection will not expand past that for like another two years 😅

Thanks for the explanation! So OM40 is defnitely a no go for now. After thinking about this a little bit more, I think I might opt for going with a different brand. OM30 would be nice, but after reading your descriptions of the other carts, the Grado Gold3 and A/T VM95ML are starting to sound...

I figured I would have limited options based on my current setup. I'm totally cool with not hearing any huge differences at this point in time until I get a new amp and speakers -- it'll take time to break in the cartridge anyway so it's okay for now. I actually do like the 2M Blue's sound --...
