Have you rolled the tubes in the EAR? A set of NOS Telefunkens would breathe new life into it. Replace the Nag with an MP500 (or NOS MP50 if you can find one) and you might be surprised.
Next upgrade for my analog source
Hi all! hope I can get some opinions on the next upgrade step for my analog source.
Currently am using Rega P6 TT with Nagaoka MP 200 (MM) cartridge, and the EAR 834P fonostage.
Preamp and amp are using Lumley Reference Amplifier (Tube KT88) and going to PMC 20.24 speakers.
So am thinking of either:
1. upgrading the fonostage to the new PS audio Stellar phono (getting rave reviews)
2. upgrading the cartridge to MC type (maybe Lyra Delos?)
3. upgarding the TT itself (not sure what to get in the $2k-$2.5k range)
I mostly listen to classical (violin, orchestra) and jazz on my analog source.
Thanks for any inputs!
