| Upgrading Cartridge - $1000 Soup'er Holiday Edition AudioTechnica AT ART9 XI (.5mv output). The new ART9s are a little pricier (try upscale audio for a good discount) but they are way beyond the usual run of $1000 cartridges. By a mile. Mine competed quite well on my GR with the ~ $2K Ortofo... | |

| Tube Amp for Klipsch Forte IV's? Black Ice F-22 or Willsenton R8 with upgraded tubes? The Fortes sound stunning and full range dynamic driven by the Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II.

| Need help on phono stage i believe the aphetta is too tall for the P6, 17mm vs 14mm. you may want to try tonearm spacers to raise the tail especially if the sound lacks detail | |
| Next MC Cartridge Advice/Recommendations @jbhiller i have a lyra delos and it is so much better than other cartridges in its price class including ortofon cadenza and soundsmith mimc. huge dynamics and great timing, huge soundstage, very refined and detailed, smooth tonal balance once... | |
| How to identify my weakest link? definitely cartridge and small signal tubes on the rogue. cartridge upgrades would include an audio technica AT ART9XI and better still a Lyra Delos. Both are amazing and excellent values at their price. as for tubes i had a cm ii and loved... | |
| SS Preamp with Tube Amps? Don't se it often. Why? Another reason is that there are limited (any?) manufacturers that make both a solid state preamp and tube based power amp. Not everyone has an integrated set by the same manufacturer but many do. Not having a SS pre with tube amp from the sam... | |
