Infinity RS1B ? Buy or runaway
A quick update, I went ahead and bought the RS1B's, scared the heck out of me doing so. It is the most money I have ever put into a piece of equipment! I usually buy high-end audio gear in need of repair to keep it affordable, but I couldn't pass ...

Thanks for all the input! It gets confusing but I am sure it will begin to make sense as time goes.

For the time being, I ordered a Sumiko Pearl until I make my mind up. I am hoping to be able to find a place near by to take some time to listen.

@ roberjerman I guess from a performance standpoint the moving coil IMO would be the better choice. Less mass to accelerate/decelerate would give the cleaner more accurate information, I know this isnt always true in practice but I guess the onl...

@donvito101 Ah yes you are right, but I found one with about 50 hours of use on it for $600, so it is also in range!

@ brianmoriarty No clue what the SP4 sounds like yet, I tested it for functionality as soon as it showed up and began tearing it down to clean and modify. Oh and I looked at the Grado Masters, I am leaning towards the Grado for now.Thanks to all f...

@ roberjerman Very opinionated aren't you? I picked up the SP4 for $300, a very quick look at SP6 prices puts it in the 1500-2000 range. I wasn't really looking for advice on my preamp, I was hoping to find someone with the same or similar turntab...

@glennewdick If your just starting out I would not start by opening your pre-amp and taking a soldering iron to it (sorry chakster). The preamp is already torn down. I am in the middle of cleaning, inspecting, and replacing any bad caps. The SP-...

@chakster Thanks again, ordering a set of the 100k right now. The SP-4 has 3 phono inputs, mine doesn't have the head amp option installed though. I can change one of the inputs to 100k and leave the other alone.Found a few AT20SLa on ebay.Thanks ...

This Grado Sonata would be a perfect match with that tonearm with the mass of the arm of 11 grams! Thanks for the suggestion. Taking a closer look at the Grado Loaded your MM cartridge with 100k Ohm you will get an amazing sound quality compar...

I guess I should have said what my budget will allow, I would like to stay under 600 if at all possible, cartridge and preamp if needed.I have read so many older posts about the Roksan and Nima arm and haven't seen a common cartridge.  
Help pricing a set of horns
I always hated selling the speakers with the drivers, it always means I have to break in another set. 
Help pricing a set of horns
That's what I was thinking, they do not come up often enough to get a descent idea what they are selling for. Thanks for the input. 
Oris Horns
The build is what I enjoy, I think. I still haven't completely decided to sell them, the idea keeps hovering around and hearing what it will take to ship them makes me lean toward not selling. I have owned three sets of Oris horns. One set I purch... 
Martin Logan Motif help please
Actually anyone who can tell me the wire placement for their ML would be helpful.
