What were you using fore the MP8B?

I hate to admit this, but I think cables made a difference. I had extra Viborg USB and AudioQuest RCA to 3.5mm cables in my drawer and switched them with the generic cables I had been using on my desk setup (see below) and I think I’m hearing improved detail and dynamics in the music. I’m going...

Definitely considering front loading DAC and cart purchases I was considering for later in the year to avoid these potential tariff driven price increases. My speaker upgrade options are narrowed down to Klipsch, Zu, and smaller builders. I wonder how much tariffs on parts will affect them?

I think stupid prices are going to be the new normal for the foreseeable future.

I’ve had the MasterTracker in my ID for the past year. I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on a new cart I’m leaning towards the Hana SH mk2. It’ll be my first moving coil cart. The MasterTracker has been a solid performer for me. Warm and rich with good dynamics compared to the Sumiko...

Thanks for the update. Good to know MoFi is standing by there decks. My UD is just over a year old and performing well hopefully this continues.

That how they are supposed to be set up.

15 years ago I had 3 kids running around the house. I had gotten rid of my Sony amp and 5 CD changer (mistake) and Polk book shelfs that got me through college and was going all in on streaming. Squeezebox FTW! I had a Sonos amp and a pair of mid range Polk Towers. Rarely got to listen to that...

Great comparison review of the GR2, 1300G, and 1200G. Also, mentions how the Denon dp3000 compares. Need more reviews like this. https://www.hifi-advice.com/blog/turntable-and-accessories-reviews/turntable-reviews/technics-grand-class-sl-1200gr2-sl-1300g-and-sl-1200g/

My first phono pre upgrade (Project Phono Box S2) was when I had an as301. I was blown away by the improvements it made to my Project DC EVO. On the difference between the MP7B and MP8B, my understanding is the power supply is the biggest delta.

Please let me know if it’s worth it.

You guys have me thinking I should update my MP7B to an MP8B.
