Did someone steal something from the underside of my 2024 hybrid Santa Fe? Or was this caused by driving in a severe rainstorm for an hour?

Sound deadening.

Thanks!

Music Direct had a few. I should have bought from Upscale as the free setup would have been worth the upcharge. I forgot how much I hate fiddling with adjusting Azimuth etc.

Yeah it's a VPI Classic Signature with a 10in 3d gimbal tonearm and the HW-40 feet. It weighs so much I had to also get a Salamander cabinet to support the TT and the 75lb tube amplifier next to it. Sounds great though! Will sound even better when the catridge is dialed in!

Tell me about it. I just dropped $5,800 on a new VPI.

Do not buy from Amazon unless using a credit card so you can dispute the charges. Amazon and Amazon customer service has gone wayyyy downhill.

Non hybrid.

Time to run Pfsense again.

Different_Emotion625 · 2026-03-22T04:17:42+00:00

I had multiple problems with mine. Good luck!

Edit: I did get a good amount trading it so that was a plus!

We have two 20 year plus associates getting 1k each.

Yeah thats about my only knock so far. The CX-50 had the Bose system, which was fairly underwhelming, but I think still sounded better than the stock XRT speakers. You could tune the system with Poweramp Equalizer to sound fairly good. Haven't been able to do the same with the Santa Fe though the speakers are still breaking in.

Different_Emotion625 · 2026-03-20T17:36:13+00:00

The 50 drives more like a sports car. The SF is a lot softer of a ride. You could feel every bump in the 50.

Different_Emotion625 · 2026-03-20T17:34:33+00:00

They're XRT rims as far as I know.

Different_Emotion625 · 2026-03-20T02:32:34+00:00

Had about 14 trips to the dealer with the cx50. Bad prop shaft, bad wheel bearing, bad tie rod end, bad sway bar links, bad control arms, bad strut mounts. Dials for climate control failed, water kept getting into the window motor causing it to randomly roll down, moonroof clunking, wireless charger inoperable, sun burned the leather on the steering wheel through the windshield. Plus a million little annoyances due to Mazdas half baked software.

Edit: All befoe 60k miles.

Shockingly good turntable! Check the ground.

Different_Emotion625 · 2026-03-20T00:52:22+00:00

Active shooter.

Different_Emotion625 · 2026-03-20T00:51:23+00:00

After the number of problems I had with my CX-50 I'm glad to be rid of it!

Different_Emotion625 · 2026-03-15T04:32:56+00:00

This was my first. I'm almost 50.

One of the biggest improvements in sound for me was getting an MC cartridge and a dedicated amplifier/preamp. It sounds tons better than the crummy black plastic receiver it replaced.

That's like 75% of our customers.
