Equipment Recommendations - The Home For New System and Upgrade Advice

wenis said:
Thanks for the advice everyone. Going to take a look at the other recommended pieces and mull it over. I got time and I think what was mentioned in one of the posts is true, I'm looking for a setup that will probably last me forever (in the human time span of forever). Something that I wont have to think too much about besides replacing a stylus or something (y)

That’s always the goal, right? Get a setup to make you stop thinking! So far I haven’t been able to accomplish that 😂

i mean i also have to REMOVE the grado....

thats the nervous part.. specifically the wires...

also nervous that the headphones might be the issue since i dont like the 58X being a bit too bassy compared to the grado SR series that really interested me

I’m a heavy handed clutz and I managed it. Just have to be careful and go slow.

The Pangea SE14 or SE9 are really great power cables for the money. I’m really happy with the 4 of them that I bought!

Is there a benefit to using the same brand of power cable throughout your system? I have one, a Shunyata Venom, but I need one to two others.

I have a Line Phono stand and I think it’s pretty great for an apartment/bedroom set up. Pretty small footprint but holds a decent amount of records. The shelf for the receiver or preamp is nice and you can pretty much fit your entire rig on it. It’s not cheap (at least when I got mine) but I like it way better than a Kallax if you have a small amount of space and want to store records + have your gear on top.

I have a LinePhono as well. Absolutely love it. A real lifesaver for an apartment, for sure. Only thing to keep in mind is your turntable footprint - my VPI Cliffwood JUST fits without making any contact with the side lips. A MoFi would be too big, though I suspect you’d be able to add a platform underneath and get the plinth to clear.

Yea--My receiver is also on there but doesn't fit on the 2nd shelf, so for now, my TT is on top of my receiver on the very top shelf. I do believe though that they have a newer model since I bought it that has a taller 2nd shelf.

I've had mine for about 3 years now and they didn't have the version with the 7" 2nd shelf so my Rotel just simply doesn't fit.

Also nice John Prine album :cool:

Ah! That’s pretty slick. I didn’t realize they offered that as an option. Very cool.

It’s the Kevin Gray remaster from this year. Is anything that man works on ever less than stellar!? RIP JP
