| Turntable question That sounds like a good deal for the SL1200GR. You don't "need" a preamp, but a decent preamp will provide a noticeable improvement over the Marantz. I've owned the Marantz AV8801 and AV7704. They sound better than a lot of AVPs, but a good dedi... | |

| How many are serious headphone users? I own 12 sets of headphones ranging from $150 Massdrop Fostex T-X0 to Audeze LCD-4 and 7 dedicated headphone amps (I'm trying to reduce the size of my collection).I enjoy listening to headphones, but probably only use them 15-20 percent of the tim... | |
