Looks like there's a version with a curved tonearm available as well, but it costs twice as much. Is that curve really worth the price?

I'm so tempted to buy this. Read user reviews on amazon and richersounds and they're all positive.

I'm looking for my first turntable and while searching online I stumbled upon this Teac TN-300. It's relatively new and I couldn't find any real reviews about it. It looks awesome and comes at a reasonable price. Anyone here has any experience with this turntable? What do you think about it?

Thanks for the link. My tablet is not listed there, but my phone is at least. So having Bluetooth 4.0 doesn't necessarily mean having aptx as well, right?

I would like to stream music from my tablet to my hi-fi via bluetooth. I have Asus Memo Pad HD 7 (ME173X). Specs say it has Bluetooth 4.0, but nothing about aptx support. Does anyone know if it supports aptx or is there a way to check? Thanks

Wow I didn't check this thread for a few days and so many interesting replies were posted in this time. Thanks for your effort. So it seems I could improve my sound with a new DAC (not that my system sounds bad, but we all aim at even better, right?). So, I was browsing through DACs on Amazon...

Thanks for all the info. So basically I wouldn't gain much if anything if I upgraded my DAC? Well that's good to hear since I won't be spending money on a new DAC. And also makes me wonder what's the point of let's say 300€ DACs, specifically TEAC UD-H01 which I've been considering to buy? I...

Hi everyone I play music from my PC (FLAC files) and I'm pretty happy with the sound, but I think I could get even better sound out of my system by upgrading my DAC since it is by far the cheapest component of my setup. What do you think? What would you suggest? My current setup: Yamaha...

Bump Any other suggestions/opinions?

How is the Gemini 2 compared to Monitor Audio MRW-10? I found Monitor Audio seller in my country which means Gemini would cost me almost 100€ more with shipping.

Hi everyone, I would like to add more bass to my system. My setup is Yamaha A-S500 amp and Monitor Audio MR2 speakers. My budget is roughly 300 EUR. Any suggestions? I was looking at Heco Victa sub 251A. Is it any good?

Update! So I got the system up and running. It sounds great! 100x better than Logitechs that I had before. :) I don't find this combo too bright as some say. I really like the sound. However, I would prefer a bit more bass. So now I have to find a decent and reasonably priced subwoofer. If...

I auditioned the Yamaha today and I liked the sound. But I could only test it with Dali Zensor 3 and Heco Victa 200 speakers, because this store doesn't carry Monitor Audio. Unfortunately Yamaha was sold out and I didn't want to buy the exhibition unit, so I paid a deposit and am now waiting...

Thanks for all the imput guys. I think I will follow my original plan and get Yamaha amp and MA speakers since they're both available locally. I will probably also get the Behringer DAC as suggested. I assume both amp and speakers come without cables? Any recommendation on cables for this setup?

Maybe a stupid question, but... If I buy Behringer, could I then disable my current sound card, plug in Behringer, connect it with my amp and listen to music like that?
