Well, I did it,got the Emotion from an Audiogon friend, (Liquid HiFi), and I must say, what a dramatic improvement in sound quality!! My system is now made up of the following:
NAD 375BEE Integrated amp
Escient Fireball MX 111 server
Luxman PX 100 TTable/ClearAudio Aurum Classic Wood
Bellari Phono stage
ClearAudio Emotion TT/Maestro cartdrige
ParasondZ Phono stage
Von Schweikert VR2 speakers
Tara Labs speaker cables
AudioQuest Snake interconects
Not sure if this qualifies as high end, medium end, low end or what, but it sounds amazing!!!!!
