Kennyt, you're right, you are the one, and only one, causing the entire resurgence.

But the entire resurgence can only continue if you, and only you, continue to upgrade your analog system. We expect you to do the following:

One, upgrade your TT every third year.

Two, upgrade your phono preamp on one of those years
you're no upgrading your TT.

Three, upgrade your cartridge on the one year you're not upgrading either your TT or your phono preamp.

Four, when you upgrade, you can't resell your equipment, you have to give it to somebody to get them into the resurgence as well.

That was the easy part.
Now, to really keep this resurgence going ....

You have to start buying every new LP issued.
Give them to friends, neighbors and loved ones as gifts.
(Feel free to email me and I'll forward you my address so you can send me an LP as a Christmas present.)

Remember, the entire analog community is counting on you!
:-)
Hey Kennyt,

I was just yanking your chain! ;-)

So, what turntable, tonearm, cartridge and phono preamp did you pick up, btw?

And thanks for the sticks and coal for Christmas. Given the energy prices, I can burn them to keep warm! That is a very thoughtful gift. Thank you! :-)
So how good is the Dynavector P75 phono preamp?

(Do you have any other phono preamps to reference it against?)

I ask, because I am always being asked for recommendations for preamps that are above the standard entry level models.

(I pretty much went straight up, first from an ARC PH-3 then to the Ayre K-1xe's phono boards. And most of my friends have had really expensive phono preamps too, such as the Aesthetix Rhea, the ASR Basis Exclusive, the Lamm LP2, the Manley Steelhead, etc. So I really don't have much of a frame of reference between the entry level phono preamps, like the Belari and the Parasound, and those types.)

Thanks for the info.
