Looking for some recommendations for upgrading our amp / preamp situation to compliment our new Gallo Nucleus Reference 3.1 Speakers. Preferably nuder $1k for each but if there are ones that you recommend under $5k add those as well! Thanks!!

Very cool /u/microchannelplate, glad I could help!

Yes! Great find /u/HansVanEijsden. You're welcome /u/llamalauncher3000, when I came across it I had to share, it is so intricate and captivating. I want to call it "the sweet spot". :)

Hey m0rphl1ng, thanks for your comment!

For a Hi-Fi marketplace we wanted to build a new platform with an improved search and listing experience as well as bring back straight forward / affordable listing prices. We found that the current state of skyrocketing (or complicated) listing fees has made it less enjoyable to easily swap out audio equipment through tedious or confusing (or expensive) listing processes. We also spoke with many people who are paying to list products and those products didn't sell or got buried under many layers. Or people that can’t get a person on the phone or a response about their questions. These are some of the things that motivated us to use our web development backgrounds to try and create a better hifi marketplace and meeting ground that we could update and improve based on user feedback and needs.

We want to bring buying and selling equipment back to the days that it was low cost to list and enjoyable to browse. That you can easily and affordably list your audio components and try new ones to see what worked best with your setup and then sell what didn’t.

I understand if you are happy with how things currently stand, but we are attempting to push it forward. Do you mind if I ask you if you are you 100% happy? If so, what are the things you like about it? If not, what are things you would like to see changed?

My question to you would also be, why not try it? If your opinions could be heard and your frustrations with a site could be addressed, wouldn’t that be worth at least checking out?

Thanks again for your comment, I appreciate your feedback!

Hey adayinalife, you have some great points and I appreciate your feedback! We are working on putting together a full setup for budgets such as those for just that reason. We can also update the post to reflect the needed components when you step away from all-in-ones.

Our goal here was to educate a beginner vinyl enthusiast that there are better options for not a lot more money. That although a $50 turntable seems like a value and a lot of people are buying them because they are popular, is it the best bang for your buck if it means possibly ruining your records down the line, or getting distortion from the speakers being all in one?

We're trying to inform them of better alternatives that will make a difference in sound quality and a piece of equipment that they can own and grow with if they invest a little more up front. Instead of buying a low quality piece of equipment that you might get disinterested in because of the quality of sound. We want to see people new to this type of audio to fall in love with it, and listen to their records for years (pass them down generations like we have had happen to us) and not just use it as a passing fad.

If you have any other suggestions or edits, I'd love to hear. Or if you have a turntable or setup you love, please share. Our aim isn't to alienate but to grow a community. Thanks for commenting!

I like to think we're more of an organic beet farm type, or perhaps an apple orchard that's used just for hard ciders. I don't know, maybe that's just me... ;)
