Need Integrated to pair with Triangle Antal.
Which ever your choice you have advatage of high sensitivity if I remember correctly.Lot's of 40 watt tube models like my EAR 834 or a CJ (a bit noisy but very euphonic if you like tube sound).Though I didn't get along with the guy on the phone wi...

What to get freinds into on the cheap?
Think you guys are all on the mark.Just think about what choices we have now versus 50's through 70's.It's just that mass market with component quality will somtimes get you so far but not "quite their".On other hand think about small $300 or less...

Stereophile review of the T-Amp

Rega P25 vs VPI Scout
Think Rega's VTA can be adjusted "on the fly" with some after market products offered (full collar not just a spacer).Unlike 10 and 12" Memorial arms the 9" cannot be adjusted on the fly.New Signature version of 9" VPI arm has anti-skate.Spoke to ...
