Uh Steve..the voice of reason, came in too late I am afraid. Also, can't return, the new turntable was love at first listen *man_in_love* Also I think my dealer sold off my AV receiver in an hour....wish I had that kind of connection!!!

That's what my wife said when she could sense I am planning to spend extra money....but if I were that sensible....wouldn't be snooping around this forum now would I?

Other than the low threshold for lound sounds, they are actually nice people.

For quite a while now, I have been realizing that I don't get to make the best use of my AV setup. The primary reason is that I live in apartment building with very fussy neighbours. When the sub kicks in with a full impact during a movie, I tend to get angry phone calls over intercom. Also...

Yeah you are right, time to get the vacuum cleaner out

So one of the R500s started showing some problems with one of the drivers. The sound was cracking up. I moved about a year back and I think the speakers went through a rough ride. So my audio dealer had it fixed for me but it kinda started sounding very boomy...I have relatively small listening...

Hey guys, thanks for all the suggestions..I took the stylus out and cleaned it for a while with those stylus brushes you get...actually had it fixed a few days ago. It would have really sucked if I had to throw the stylus away after one year.

Probably has gunge on the stylus. Rather than risk a brush I find playing a 12 inch 45 rpm single usually clears it. Hey thanks, well I have actually tried multiple records and several songs, cause at first I thought (and hoping as well) that there is something wrong with the record that I was...

So I had bought the 2M blue stylus a year back was very happy when I replaced the 2M Red stylus with it. It was a 5 second transition as I did not have to change the cartridge. Today, the 2M blue started sounding very dull and boomy. Cleaned it several times but there was very little...

I am on apple. I do have an airport express lying around somewhere in the house which I had previously used as a range extender. Let me hook it up tomorrow, and see how that works. I have been using a bluetooth receiver (Arcam rBlink) but can't say I am very impressed. Maybe its just in my head...

Heart says, another new gadget, go for it, credit card will take care of itself. Brain Says, you already have a CD player. Walking over to the HiFi rack, you burn a few more calories, so get off your lazy a$$.

Recenlty my laziness has gotten the better of me and I have been exploring the options of not getting out of the couch to change CDs. What I have right now are around close to 500 CDs and a Synology NAS. I am looking for a cost effective streaming solution without breaking the bank. The primary...

Wow that turntable looks gorgeous, with a cart, might be around $500 more than the RP3.

Planar 3, I saw the review on WHF, never seen one in flesh though. Is it really a very different?

Thanks, so Pioneer is out. I have to admit, the aesthetic appeal of the Pioneer made me consider it as an option in the first place
