I guess it had to happen sooner ...
« on: February 02, 2010, 03:32:50 PM »
then later,...ending up here that is.

Thanks to Tom I received my fix a couple weeks ago with an M 500 and a C5 from his shop. This week i get to wait for the second M500 to show up.

I even have a set of those nice brushed aluminium risers in the mail for them as well.

Cheers

I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

Thanks for the nice welcome everyone. Yes King Edwin, I did see those nice upgrades, that's why i got 2 M 500's that way I can send one in and still have one while it's being upgraded.

falcon377, right now I have these on the M 500:


I'm pretty much done upgrading my speakers right now. I got this pair of Cornwalls last week, a pair of Heresy's  the week before and 3 Lascala's a couple week before that.

Now to work on providing good clean fun to those bad boys. For two channel the M 500s will hold me for a while.

My next project will be getting and amp for my HT set up. Looking at Sunfire 5 channel amps right now. I pulled the trigger on this one yesterday: 110489084563 . I'm not having a good feeling about it right now, though.
