Entry level Phono Stage for Dynavector 10x5
I ended up buying a Nova Phonomena used on Audiogon. I hope it will be a big jump. I should be able to sell it off for not much loss if it does not work in my system.I also will be able to A/B in my friends system against a Sutherland PhD. I fully... 
Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store
CatamaJust had a bad experience in Berkeley. I was interested in a $1200 phono stage. Wouldn't demo it, just kept saying I should buy it's the last one in stock. Left without hearing the phono stage or anything else. This was on my birthday and a ...

He has been in business for a long time. I really don't like his service but I am not out to hurt the guy. He has a well established line which has a small die hard fan base here. I have been told that's the core of business. I have seen one user ...

Louisiana. Don't want to name the Town/City or everyone will know who I am talking about. There is no bringing in your gear to see how it works with new gear. There are no home demos.I bought speakers from this dealer. Later wanted to hear them wi...

Kiko65You are really selling me on the Dynavector. When I do upgrade it would be up the DV line. Don't think it will happen anytime soon but if I do I could use the phono enhancer.500 used is all I have at this time. I could wait for a while to ge...

KikioHave you heard the combo? I am leaning that way but all the reviews seem to use dynavector up the chain mainly 20x2.I just want to know if it would be a waste to use the MM and not be able to take advantage of the phono enhancer.Please share ...

Old VPI Scout: Cartridge Help
Just and update. When I used the VPI Jig and 10x LED Lighted loupe I found I was sitting just behind the null point maybe even touching the back edge a tad. I re-aligned the cartridge to be dead on and the shrill in the treble is now gone. Still w...

The grado/project didn't have the edge blue has. I did like the grado so maybe I should go up the line for grado. I really don't want to spend more 450.on cart.Mainly because I do listen to used vinyl and it seems to make sense to get a used tube ...

I will definitely try lowering VTA. I also am buying a mint jig to be more exact for future carts.I do think it's a great cart. I think it's my personnel taste lean to the warm side. I also think it's a system mismatch.The table is great. I pretty...
