I have the 1200 but I think the arrangement is pretty much the same. I keep the extra weight stored in the spindle hole of my 45 adapter.Just a PSA that popped into my head over the weekend. So when mounting the Mastertracker to my PLX 1000 I had to use the additional tonearm weight. Digging around the many bags and paperwork I couldn't find the damn thing in the box. Low and behold, it's stuck in a very small spot in the styrofoam. So if you purchased a PLX and haven't had the need to use it and still have your original packaging, go grab the weight before you forget and accidentally toss it out
Thanks! Think I'll be sticking with MM for now at least.
I got the Musical Fidelity LX-LPS per @HiFi Guy recommendation and I absolutely loveeeeEeEee it. Was really a noticeable step up from my speakers built in pre-amp, it has been less forgiving though so if you have dirty records or poor pressings you will definitely notice them more but your good pressings will sound phenomenal depending on the rest of your chain! I think it was $250 when I picked it up, definitely worth the extra $50 if you ask me.
Cheers! Knew the MF had a lot of good reviews here. The shop that’s looking at my turntable is a Rega dealer, so I might be able to check it out first.

I haven't because the Opus3 I have is a low output version of the cart and I would probably have to crank the volume on the NAD, lol
Don’t know what all that means, but it sounds good! Cheapest of the now 3 contenders, so that might be a factor. Many thanks!
SUPER LATE but I have the bookshelf. They are amazing, but need a sub obviously.Quick question: I've a friend that is looking at bookshelf speakers -- does anyone know enough about Zu Audio's bookshelf to feel comfortable recommending them. After all I read (from all of you) the company seems to be exceptional, but I can't find much on the bookshelf's themselves?

Don’t make me post that picture of the Kallax full of vinyl that was built incorrectly...
@HiFi Guy thank you for your response. The seller is asking $1399 usd for the pair. The repairs were completed two years ago, I’ve asked multiple times if it’s been used since then but no direct response. My presumption based on what he has told me is that it probably was used very little to not at all since the repairs were made. If at that price it seems possible to re sell and get most or all of the money back then obviously that makes it an easier decision but ultimately I want to use it as my everyday gear. I wouldn’t be selling my current electronics so if it were to work for a while and then need repair it wouldn’t be the end of the world but I don’t want to spend all the budget on the gear and then not be able to afford repairs immediately I understand no one can make that decision for me however I’d like to know as much as possible before diving in.
It does not have the wood case, based on that suggestion it will be mine assuming it’s still available Monday when the bank is open.
Deal, as this is older what type of spades will fit in used to using bananas
