ajxd Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 So far I am thoroughly impressed. My greatest concern was the low end... but its perfect. I spent a ton of time with a lot of different genres of music, and they are exceptional on all levels. Very happy with my purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JacobMckinley Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Just picked up a pair of Grado GS1000i's from a local HiFi shop in Portland. Even not broken in, all i can say is....damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requiescat Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Upgraded the original MDF plinth of my VPI HW-19 to the stainless steel sub-plinth with 1/2" high gloss acrylic top plate along with the upgraded VPI HW-19 MK 1-4 Isolation Kit from Elusive Disc while they had it in stock a couple months ago. This upgrade adds significant weight to the table which noticeably has reduced vibration and has definitely improved clarity. I can safely say the blacks are considerably more black. Very pleased with these upgrades! Next on the list for major upgrades to the table is a new heavier weight platter and likely a SAMA (stand-alone motor assembly) for it. I'll be likely picking up a Mobile Fidelity V-LPS II to use as my phono preamp with some Morrow Audio MA3 Interconnects instead of my Marantz 2245's on-board phono preamp in the next couple weeks also. Looking forward to this as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Loyd Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Purchased a new Marantz PM6004 integrated amp so I could finally use it strictly for My turntable, as opposed to having it plugged into my Surround sound system through a pre amp, Purchased the standalone Onkyo Cd Player and JVC tape deck from a thrift shop. Purchased new Focal 705 V bookshelf speakers strictly for use with the new Marantz, and upgraded My Rega RP1 Turntable with a new belt, Groovetracer acrylic platter and replaced the Stock Rega RP1 cartridge with a Denon DL-110. I'm finally really happy with my setup. It sounds really great to me and should keep me happy for several years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaizada Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I can't believe I was able to purchase a mint condition Sony PS-X700 Biotracer turntable. Picked it up on friday. 4th turntable in concurrent use at my residence within the same main system. I loaded it up with a Grace F9 L Moving Magnet cartridge and it sings gloriously! Racked and setup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I can't believe I was able to purchase... Rolled my eyes pretty hard right here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jase Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I've just bought a Luxman LV113 integrated amp. Can't wait to pick it up. I over paid for it slightly. But in Australia all audio gear is about twice as much as all you folk pay. Plus decent quality stuff is hard to get because it's obviously very sought after, and usually bought by audiophile hoarders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
