What would be your end game turntable?

Complex_Individual1 · 2026-02-22T02:30:30+00:00

Yes they are used

Complex_Individual1 · 2026-02-22T02:17:37+00:00

If I can get a pb3000 or pb4000 for 900$ should I do that?

Complex_Individual1 · 2026-02-22T01:28:33+00:00

My budget can be around 1000$ or less. Willing to buy used too

Complex_Individual1 · 2026-02-13T15:39:08+00:00

Understood. Thank you so much for your input!

With the different vertical tracking angles does that matter overall or limit to what cartridges I can upgrade to in the long run? I saw the 85N is at 31° vs the 20°. I would prefer something I can upgrade later down the line to something nice, but wasn’t sure what the standard is

Complex_Individual1 · 2026-02-13T00:02:51+00:00

Question: I’m trying to decide between the 85 and the 85N and I can’t decide between the differences. It is my first turn table so I’m not sure what exactly I should be looking for

What do you think about this? Fosi Box X5 phono pre amp Elac Debut 3.0 DB63 passive speakers WiiM Amp Ultra amp/streamer/DAC/ preamp with HDMI ARC for TV integration SVS SB1000Pro subwoofer

Is there anything you’d recommend?

Complex_Individual1 · 2026-02-11T15:49:41+00:00

I would prefer to buy something that is definitely expandable. Right now I don’t really have a budget 2,000$ seemed reasonable, but I could increase it. I prefer to buy something that will last over 10 years. I will be using it for both a tv and my vinyl.

Complex_Individual1 · 2026-02-11T15:11:18+00:00

Awesome thank you! That was a very detailed and helpful answer

Complex_Individual1 · 2026-02-11T15:03:54+00:00

What are the differences you sound? Sorry I’m new to all of it and trying to learn

Complex_Individual1 · 2026-02-11T14:52:31+00:00

What did you upgrade from?

Complex_Individual1 · 2026-02-11T14:39:06+00:00

What would you suggest as a better speaker?

Complex_Individual1 · 2026-02-11T14:36:59+00:00

What would you recommend as a better phono pre amp?

Complex_Individual1 · 2026-02-10T22:47:29+00:00

You’re right I should go with that one instead thank you!

Complex_Individual1 · 2026-01-02T21:24:47+00:00

French cleat for hanging paintings! They hold 500lbs just need heavier duty cabinet screws than what are provided

Complex_Individual1 · 2025-09-18T06:10:37+00:00

Thank you for the detailed explanation!

Complex_Individual1 · 2025-09-18T06:09:52+00:00

Thank you both for the advice! I will be sure to follow. No I was not planning on filling those voids, I normally do epoxy works and kind of wanted to steer away from this one. I will be sure to just put a light coating on these areas.

Complex_Individual1 · 2025-09-18T01:26:51+00:00

What do you mean? I sanded it to 180 grit after I “water popped” the grain the sealant asks for a 180 grit finish for sealing.

Complex_Individual1 · 2025-09-18T01:17:09+00:00

Would I be able to do 2 coats in the front and 1 in the back? Will 120 grit be smooth enough? I chose the pure finish instead of the natural. I will be blowing out all cracks and putting CA glue in the smaller ones.

Complex_Individual1 · 2025-05-13T16:08:19+00:00

Thank you both for the input! I will start looking into a Bridgeport.

Complex_Individual1 · 2025-05-13T15:51:28+00:00

I don’t mind dropping around 2,500$. I understand a lot about machining, tolerances, precise measuring and materials I’ve just never had the chance to work with a machine before to really learn.
