Takamine S35 vs Takamine S34C? Both have such high reviews, which is better?

The difference between the two guitars is the S34C has a cutaway for access to the upper part of the neck. That is what the C stands for. That is the only real difference

From all i've heard the sr325i deliver the acoustics at an astonishingly higher quality than the 225s. (With the right amp and sound setup) however, the 225s offer more than satisfying acoustics in my experience than anything out there in the market i've experienced before. This is coming from a non-audiophile so im sure many would correct me but i find these to be the sweet spot between high-end headphones and audiophile headphones. These are the BEST for Blues, ballads, soft rock, alternative music.

I actually bought both. The 305's are lighter and you don't have to take em off to talk to somebody. The Kinovos larger earphone more like old style headphones. I'd go with S305

You have my complete sympathy! I bought my 350 in September of 2008 for $350. A month later the s360 hit the market at a bit over $200. As far as a difference other than price, the 350 weighs in at almost twice what the 360 does, Per Amazon, 7 vs. 12 pounds. As an old school audiophile I still tend to put my trust in heavier equipment (I know its silly but old habits die hard). The 350 has provided excellent service but my 2 year old Oppo DV 981HD DVD player provides superior up scaling. If you can still return your 350 I'd suggest you consider kicking in 100 bucks more and order the Oppo BDP 83. I've spent too much on 2 players in the past two years to even consider that and I might not even see or hear the difference. Bottom Line: You have a good reliable machine but like me, paid too much for it!

I think that many of us (Me!) would love to hear what others feel about Mr. Timofei's statement that the S700 has "CD Direct" which makes "a huge difference in the sound." If that's so,...I certainly want a 700 rather than a 500 or a 300. How do you 300 and 500 owners feel?!

Main technical differences are low end (53 vs 60 for the MB42-C), impedence (8 vs 4), size (over an inch taller) and shielding (have vs have not). The Micca MB42X-C is shielded for $40 more. Against that, I'd take the CS10 any day. If your main speakers (or your sub-woofer) cover the bass, and you don't care about shielding, the Micca might be an OK tradeoff if money is tight. All I can say is I haven't been disappointed with my CS10. But note I would've gotten a CS2 but it didn't fit my cabinet (only $25 more).

I have the C7 and I looked at a C3 in a guitar store. Both were full size instruments. By the way, I love the one that I choose. Rich, clear tone!

I've worn both of these actually. And I've found the M50X's to be amazingly good for the price. They're extremely comfortable, and they're a good choice overall. Nonetheless, the P5's get the edge. The sound is neutral on both of them, but the P5's sound is a bit more nuanced, and true to the source material. (And if you're looking for something with thumping bass, neither of these are your friend - I'd look at beats for that). The P5's are also much more "luxurious". The padding, the presentation, and the details - everything is a step up, albeit at a heftier price tag. I would definitely recommend trying both out at a store if you can - it's a close one.

The sound is slightly different. The M5 is more balanced and clear but less bassy. You should read some Product-Tests and make a Decision based on the music you hear....

Yes, I believe so, since the EG128SC is just a cutaway version of the G128S. If you look at the Takamine website and compare dimensions, they should be very close if not the same.

The only real reason that I can see to buy the 300 over the 150 for me was to have more inputs for guitars and microphones. Otherwise, I think they are about equal soundwise. So save some money.

It is better, I also have the iBasso DX90 which I like even more, smaller, lighter, better controls, clarity dynamics are fantastics, tight low end great sub base, check the review here "http://headfonics.com/2014/07/the-dx90-by-ibasso/". but if you prefer the Fiio X5 you can not go wrong with it also very good, I have both of them but prefer the DX90. Must have a good had phone or IEM to really hear the good sound.

There are some review sites that claim the sound to be better on the 451, but I discern any difference. I will say that when I compared, the 451 were straight out of the box with very little burn in time while the 450 had considerable burn in time so maybe another comparison will yield different results.

I honestly couldn't answer this as I did not compare the two. There were 2 similar models that I was torn between so I ended up downloading both manuals at Yamaha to compare them.

The 350 is unfamiliar to me but I would trade up if I could , in most cases you will get a better unit with better options and performance . Having what you are use to using is also important but we always get familiar with new things everyday

The ATP-2 is not a bad cart, but it isn't great, either. The one that came with my '120 has never been used.I have several better carts; I have been using a Shure M91EDthat I had mounted on a shell years before I got the '120.The M97 would be a worthwhile upgrade. It will provide very good sound at a very reasonable price.Please read the posts (including mine, of course) about the anti-skating on this turntable.

The Ks have a much better soundstage and crystal clear midrange, the Qs not as clean, equalized for more mass-market appeal. Have owned both (sold the Q) and for my money it's no contest.
