What speaker cables can complete with Audience 24e or 24e SE for less $$
 To lowrider57,   I sent Grover Huffman an e-mail about the Empress cable  and also if he could re-terminate his EX speaker cable I bought about a year ago on AG before buying the Harmonic Technology cable.   I am not sure how old  the  EX cable I...

Has any one owned a Marantz 15S1 turntable with the Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood cartridge. The cartridge is now $950 at retail.  Seems like a lot of cartridge for this level of table which was made by Clearaudio for Marantz   The "last" retail of the...

 To wolf-garcia   I doubt if any Rega  tonearms  in 200 and 300 series have adjustable VTA.   I owned a Rega P3-24 and did not see a VTA adjustment on the tonearm, or a height adjustment feature

To sbank.  I have seen a couple of used SL-1200 on AG, ebay, and The Music Room.  I am NOT blowing off your suggestion and don't think you are crazy either. I  am not sure I want to go the modded TT route. It will or could be expensive, and do I r...

To Wolf Garcia, I have seem this model in Audio Advisor, and Sound StageDirect. But neither is dealing at this time, and even if they did, it would be only 5%.  The cartridge billed as the "Silver" Ortofon implies it is a member of their 2M line. ...

To fjn   Where did you audition the Wax Engine turntable??  I found there website, but they have no dealer in the USA.   Also, the company is in China and any factory direct sale could entail expensive shipping, and possibly import and/or brokerag...

To stewart0722.  Thank you for heads up about MH 5.1. TT  Also, I read a few reviews about Ortofon  Qunitet Red but never was convinced it was as good as you comment.  The only concern is its low output at 0.3 mV .  I a brand new Moon LP110 phono ...

To boofer,  You make good points. But, I just don't want to invest in  this table, and later find out, I made an underwhelming choice, and so must start over.. As I said before, it looks solid; and also uses magnetic anti-skating which is a minor ...

To Helomech, Thank you for the recommendation. I did consider the Marantz 15S1 TT . I believe the refurbished model was $995.00  on "Black Friday"   However, the Clearaudio Virtuoso cartridge retails for $900. I can only guess what the replacement...
