    Thanks everyone for your input... Gave me lots of great info and options to consider. As it happens, I just pulled the trigger on a new Blackbird. It was a pretty good deal. So, if for whatever reason it isn't the cart for me, I should be able to flip it w/out taking too much of a hit. Thats my...

    Recommended Modern Speakers

    For budget bookshelves, I think the PSB Alpha B1 is a terrific speaker... They are no longer the "new hotness" in that crowded segment of the market, with the buzz more recently around Elac etc. But 8 months ago, I paid a whopping $170 on a nearly new pair for my secondary system... and my...

    great setup! I believe I have the same LP shelves... though not nearly as many :)

    Not a bad idea. I'm new to AK and to the area, and this is as good a reason as any to meet some likeminded folks around here... Though I'm exceedingly busy w/ work this time of year (traveling 4-5 days/wk until dec). But it's worth trying for sure. Anyone aware of meet ups/G2Gs anywhere between...

    Any thoughts on Nagaoka MP-500?

    I'm definitely not against going used. This would open up a bunch of other options... as if there weren't enough already!

    Seems it would play well w/ my current gear. And at that price, there'd be room in the budget for a Project VC-S.

    An interesting design approach for sure. Though, at that price, I might first be tempted to consider a new phono stage... A Sutherland Insight perhaps? And that's a thread for another day :confused:

    The Hana carts look interesting, and I'd love to hear from anyone who has experience with them. Yes, and this is making it tough to decide... though there are certainly worse problems to have :) This is great to hear... I'm looking forward to the "fall into place" part of the show!

    How would you compare the two? Would you say the "phenomenal" EVO outperforms the merely "excellent" Performer by more than the $150 price difference would indicate?

    Apparently, mine is the "Satisfy Kardan"... which I believe is the very same (new name?) as the satisfy? I'll put the Benz-Micro on the list!

    Yes, the p5 works w/ both low and high output carts. Which makes me wonder what, if any, differences there might be in the sound of an Evo III low vs. Evo III high in my setup... all other things being equal? I haven't heard either the Evo III or the Blackbird, but I've certainly heard good...

    this DAC is VERY tempting as a replacement to the onboard DAC in my P5. Hmmm....

    I'm thinking $1k, give or take a few hundred.

    Hello all, Welcome to my first ever thread on AK :) I'd like to replace the utterly unimpressive Concept V2 MM cart on my Concept Wood table, and I'm looking for suggestions for upgrade options. Until recently getting the Clearaudio table, I'd been quite happy with a Blue Point No2 (on a...

    Best Albums to Trip to?

    Hello all, I'm new to AK (like, 5 minutes new). Make what you will of the fact that this is the first thread that I'll contribute too... ;) Some real gems mentioned thus far... Can, Mahavishnu, Eno, Flaming Lips, Laswell... (though I doubt I'd ever be such a bold Psychonaut as to venture into...
