Hello! My Mother-In-Law decided to finally get my Father-In-Law hooked up with an audio system so that he could play his old vinyl collection and asked for my help. He has an old Technics SL-J33 turntable he's attached to so I'm building the system around that. She only wanted to spend...

Hello! I'm a vinyl guy. My whole music collection is on vinyl. Recently I've been considering broadening my horizons and allowing myself a little more versatility in the form of a disc player. I want something that will play any form of audiophile CD as well as Blu Ray. I hate to see a good CD...

Personally, I use an Onzow Zerodust for my stylus and and a Hunt EDA Mark 6 carbon fiber brush for my records. I use both every time for each side of a record before playing. I'm interested to know what everyone else uses, and how often.

Hello all! I'm back again seeking only to take advice/knowledge and not to give, as I have little to offer. The people here have always been so generous though with their time and wisdom. This forum has been a great asset for me. I'm typing all this from a phone so I am going to try to be as...

Hello again, I'm back for more help. Before I go on, I will readily admit that I am VERY ignorant about a lot of this stuff. I love music, and I love to listen to it right, and I'm trying to learn as I go. I've been breaking in a new set of KEF Q300's, a new Marantz PM5005 Integrated...

Hello again! Thanks to this forum I just recently purchased a pair of KEF Q300's (they're wonderful and I couldn't be happier with them) to go with my Marantz PM5005 and my Pro-Ject Audio Debut Carbon Esprit with 2M Blue stylus. Side note about the 2M Blue stylus: I must right a wrong and own...

I'm very excited. I've finally drummed up the funds for a set of bookshelf speakers. I'm about ready to pull the trigger on a pair of KEF Q300's (haven't decided on the color yet) from KEF Direct through Amazon. I will also be ordering an Ortofon 2M Blue stylus on the same order to replace my...

I just purchased a Marantz PM5005 to replace my old Pioneer VSX-4800. I couldn't be more pleased with the way this amp has improved the sound of my system. Seriously. I'm playing my records on my Pro-Ject Debut Carbon turntable with the Acryl-It platter. Very soon I will be replacing my old...

Hello all, I'm new here and have posted once before on AK in reference to a vintage Pioneer receiver. I never pulled the trigger on it, and instead I just recently purchased a Marantz PM5005. I don't have the knowledge base or the patience to get myself a good deal on a vintage, turn-key...

Hello! I'm 25 and I've been using my dad's old Pioneer VSX-4800 to jam my vinyl collection for awhile now, but it's starting to go out on me. I've been looking to upgrade my sound for awhile anyway, and now I have a good excuse. I want something that's going to last, and I know these old...
