Update! I found a great deal on a Parasound Halo Hint 6! It arrived today and I've been putting it through it's paces. Loving it so far!

Oooh, i like this one! Only hesitation I'm having, (well, 2 hesitations) is a review that said it wasn't great for headphone listening, which i do a fair bit of, and that Kinki Ex M1+ I mentioned above is just so sexy. Hmm

Like what I'm seeing on that, but not finding any below $3k. I'm seeing the Halo P6 under $2k

Not sure I'm ready to go down that path yet

There is a Kinki on Reverb right now for $2500. I'm so intrigued. It's gorgeous. Would love to hear more why it's your pick

Been thoroughly enjoying the new turntable and phono stage set up! Now I'm wondering about a new integrated amp. I was going to get something simple for the bedroom, where the Fluance RT85 is moving to, but now I'm thinking of maybe putting the Marantz PM8006 up there and looking at something...

I don't have anything to compare it to, but, so far, I'm loving it!

All good!

I finally found it! Guess I hadn't scrolled far enough or I skimmed too fast

Listen to the release Home by A Song For You on Qobuz Open Qobuz

Oooh, I'm going to use this revised thread to spread some love to one of my favorite albums from last year that I don't see enough people discovering! The group is called A Song For You. They are a vocal ensemble from Germany. The album is called Home. Just try to keep the tears at bay while...

He didn't. Not sure why he just did a custom build as the Theory has the better tone arm and motor, but he is happy, so whatever

Just an update: I went ahead and ordered that used VPI Prime Scout from TMR. It should be here Friday or Saturday. And I bought the Darlington MP8B that @spydrwebb44 was selling, which should also be here Saturday. I can't wait!

FWIW, regarding the Pro-Ject balanced TT stuff, my buddy picked up the X2B a few weeks ago and did a bunch of testing back and forth between it and his Orbit. Crazy enough, it was too close to call and the kicker was that the Pro-Ject had a terrible hum/buzz happening that he could figure out...
