vinyl addict Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Just ordered a Schiit Mani, AT120E cartridge, and some 3ft premium RCA cables off monoprice. Next up, new amp, but they'll have to wait a few pay checks. You're gonna love the Mani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tardcore Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Pics! better crop out the amps this time. I don't think Slinch's poor old heart can take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I hope so. It'll look nice with my Modi too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabwalker Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I'll post pics when it gets here. It's out for delivery right now. Really excited. This will be my last purchase for awhile. My system should be in a nice place now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidamnesiac Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I just bought a VPI Prime Dream table. Can't wait to see this setup. What cartridge(s) will you be using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabwalker Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Bought a ortofon 2m black to go with it. Would have liked to get a cadenza but blew my budget on the table, so that'll have to come down the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I'll post pics when it gets here. It's out for delivery right now. Really excited. This will be my last purchase for awhile. My system should be in a nice place now. Very nice. Although you just pushed me down a notch on the TT list, it's great to see someone elevating their listening experience like this. Is this your first VPI? I don't think I'll buy another TT in my life, but if I do it will just be another VPI.I didn't care for the 2M black on my set-up. I noted it's strengths and superiorities (when present) compared to my cart, but I prefered the richer sound of my Dynavector. Congrats. I'm excited for you.

Crabwalker Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Yeah it'll be my first Vpi. I've wanted a classic for awhile and that was my original plan. But low and behold got a good deal on the prime and pulled the trigger. I can't say this will be my last turntable but will be my table for a long time. Now I just wish UPS would hurry up haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxmartinxx Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Just bought a Ray Samuels Nighthawk on eBay to go head to head against my Rogue Triton. The Triton has been great but since I'm using a Denon DL103, the gain is up all the way which adds a little background hum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dethrock Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Just got some upgrades for my RP3. New subplatter, double pulley and feet from Tangospinner. Installing everything this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The name of that website is highly inaccurate. I was just gonna say that... LoL! I COMPLETELY agree with you. If you aren't spending $10k+ on just a preamp, don't even post here. Man, feels great to get off the preamp train and at a destination I've wanted to go to for a while. The 912 is really truly and destination piece.
