Analog upgrade


Looking at upgrading analog components and seeking advice. Currently have rega planar 6 and rega aria phono stage. Considering clearaudio ovation or dc performance both with tracer tone arm. Also looking at moon 310 or 610 or Boulder 508. Budget is ~12-14k. Is it better to go up to the ovation with less expensive amp or take the dc performance with one of the higher end amps. Also interested in impressions of these amps and advice on cartridges for these tables. Thanks

Dear @kerrybh  :  SimAudio 610 is an excellent choice over Boulder and many other " big names ".

 

You can go for the Rega RP10. This is what M.Fremer said when he reviewed the SAT XD1 100K$$ turntable:

"" The XD1 shares some sonic characteristics with Rega's revolutionary RP10 turntable: ultrafast, clean transients throughout the audible frequency range; tight, fast bass; revealing midrange transparency; and overall sonic stability and focus. The Rega tonearm is really good and better that any one can imagine.

 

Other good TT option is this one:
