I just start a new system have a audio research D250 MKII,TNT HR-X turntable with Benz LP or Cardas/Benz HEART RUBY 2, Wadia 861 CD player. I have been look at Cat Ultimate SL1 and Hovland HP-100, both have phone built in,any suggestion or have been compare before.
The CAT is very good. A friend has a D250 he uses with a last generation SP10. He uses all the best NOS tubes in his system. Brian Walsh Essential Audio
Audio research SP-10 is my current mate with the D250. They work very well together and the SP-10 has a very nice phono. I have found that ARC matches well with ARC of the same era sonically it seems more cohesive.
