Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

If you can afford the JC3 Jr might one of the sutherland phonos be a better call given how highly they are rated on here. The 20/20 would be in that kinda range price wise. Maybe have a word with @juiceless I’m pretty sure he has one up there in Canada. At its price point I’ve seen nothing that would convince me that I’d be better off swapping my MX-VYNL, I’d be looking to save to at least double its worth before I would be tempted to upgrade and that money could do better things elsewhere in my system right now.

I’m thinking the 20/20 is out of the price range.

The MX Vynl was $999
The Insight is $1399
The JC Jr. is $1499

Oh so the MX-VYNL is about £650 here, the insight €1200 and the JC Jr £2,000 and the 20/20 €2,200 lol

To be fair, the MX Vynl was closed out here at $750. The prices I referenced are what they were when I bought the Insight.

This makes me think the Insight is the sweet spot.

I didn’t quite have the money to get up there at the time, it was a choice of the MoFi Ultra at £500 or stretching the extra £150 for the MX-VYNL. I’m glad I paid the extra now!

it’s better to be slow and steady than “oops there goes the stylus!”

Finding the right mini-sized allen key always takes me longer than actually adjusting the cart.

when i eventually move up to the thousand dollar mark i probs would have to go with a VPI or a mofi studiodeck.. those seem like the best value in the US for 1000

The StudioDeck's $1200 though.

Ok the Pick-It 2M Silver is only slightly better than the 2M Red but it's certainly not as bad as I expected based on all the negative comments on here.

You won’t notice until you compare it to something else.

I agree. I though the red was ok until I heard the blue. Then I realised just how much it was leaving on the table.
