| Vincent PHO 700 Phono Stage http://hifipig.com/vincent-pho-700-phono-stage/ I actually am thinking of buying one, i feel it will probably blow away my Para Zphono which is no slouch but i feel the tubes will smooth out tthe sound with my AT 440mla.. hope this helps.! | |
| Home Theater Fronts, Center & Receiver - 2K Used wow i hadnt realized the KEF's weren't made in england anymore.. what about the higher end Reference Series , i wonder if those are still made in England..I had some Q30's , they had an awesome soundstage! | |
| Home Theater Fronts, Center & Receiver - 2K Used Kef make nice speakers.. i used to won them years ago.. they sound more refined , if you like alot of jazz and classical , the newer one's might have more bass, so i would imagine they should sound ok on rock too.. but Arcam and KEF are a great ma... | |
