| EAr 834p vs coph nia phono pre amp caleco,you need to turn up the NAD's volume because it doesn't have enough "gain" to drive the low output from a moving coil cartridge. It would probably be reasonably OK for a moving magnet one. [by the way, there are other threads that explain t... | |

| EAr 834p vs coph nia phono pre amp I, too, would go with the EAR. The Sept/Oct issue of "The Listener" had a phono stage shootout, inclucing the Coph Nia. It did not come out as well as others, although the EAR was not in their review. Nonetheless, you cannot really go wrong with t... | |
| Anyone use a Pledge "Grab-it" on their vinyl? Thanks, Sean, for you response. I agree about the economy of scale issue and will look into a cheaper machine.

| Amazing Solo Piano Recordings Anything by Mikhail Pletnev, the Russian pianist. His recording of "Pictures From An Exhibition" on Virgin is stunning. I can't stand the orchestral version of Pictures...the original piano version is vastly superior. Two other Pletnev recordings ... | |

| EAR 834P vs. Audio Research PH-3 thanks, fatparrot, for the additional info about securing the circuit board. I'll check to see if it is true for mine. It's a little newer, so maybe EAR changed the design. | |
