    After spending the day out and listening, I am pretty set on magnepans. I think they will run off my receiver, too, until I can afford some beefy power for them. I would be interested in those amps, but they are out of my price range.

    If you want an awesome Class AB amp for the money, you can't go wrong with the Schiit Vidar, I've got 3 of them and they are quite amazing...

    Busted this 20 year old sub out of the attic today. I never noticed the level dial before today. Still sounds good too!

    So my next question is: [rant on] What the hell is up with turntables? $12,000 and they don't include the needles anymore? Oh you want an arm with that? That will be an extra $3000. Are you kidding me? I want to play some records, not decide between a record player and a new Harley. And hardly any of them are automatic anymore. So my $20,000 turntable I have to run up and grab the arm when the record is done? [/rant off]

    Any suggestions in the under $500 range? I was down at Third Man in Detroit over the weekend and they had a couple, but the wife doesn't like all the yellow. Doesn't need a pre-amp in it, the old Yamaha has one built in. I feel like if I buy a $49 dollar one it will be a piece of crap based on how much they could cost.

    pro-ject and rega tables get pretty good reviews..

    What about buying something older? Buy and old Pioneer and put a nice needle on it.

    I have an Audio Technica and it seams to be pretty nice.

    Under $500 this isn't bad

    then get yourself a Grado Green or Nagaoka MP-110 cartridge, you'll be mint.

    If you want to think used/vintage then check out Ecotopia. Just north of 15 mile in Haggarty in a strip mall. I've bought a few things there

    That Pro-Ject Carbon looks like it might be the ticket, thank you.

    I tried to go to Ecotopia a few weeks ago, but they didn't open until noon and I didn't feel like waiting around. I am not against vintage, I just want something I don't have to mess with.
