How big a difference is it? Very noticeable? Pretend we are not talking about $500 vs $1400.

Right now the Pho 8 vs my digital is pretty comparable outside soundstage. I'd like the vinyl to exceed it.

It’s a big difference. I’m not super fond of the Vibe, but loved my Insight.

I think the Insight is the restaurant and the Vibe is the guy outside giving away the free samples

Out of your price range since you keep buying boom boom pressings

And to this comment, I still have my Insight

Are you opening a burger joint, casual dinning, or a 5 star? Sutherland has price points for all of them
Seriously, let's exclude the Loco series because those are more specialty. Several core models, many now with LPS options making it more like 8 or 9 models ranging from $900 - $14,000. I think you pick your budget, and pick the closest model, then enjoy it until you want to spend more money.

I know is no one ever seems to regret upgrading. @HiFi Guy is one of the few people that have had multiple models in home.

I will wait for the Insight, I will wait for the Insight, I will wait for the Insight.......LOL

@VMPKJ listed an Insight in the Buy, Sell forum a while back. Dunno if it's still available.

I just meant that it might have been sold without an update to the sale thread, because reasonably priced Insights typically don't last long around these parts.

That's why I posted the link, I know its from January and most likely gone, but it wasn't marked as sold, so who knows.

It's here!

I've just been too busy to list it anywhere else.

 

[VMPKJ]

God that $500 price tag is tempting.

I have an insight that is practically new. Just FYI. for 400$ off the top

Honestly the first time I've been out there was yesterday, and the shop is only open for pick up. Looking forward to being able to go in and check things out.

 

[kvetcha]

I've purchased a couple pieces from Echo and had good experiences. It's nice to know it's, like, a real shop.
