Need Opinion on Accuphase E-202
I don't have a response to the E-202 directly but if you decide to try something different I would go for something that doesn't have so many controls and adjustments on it. Less to go wrong and in my book at least simpler is better. 
TECHNICS SL1200 MKII.......THE REAL FACTS
I understand your situation. I owned a SL1200 for awhile and liked it alot sound wise. It just didn.t look audiophile to me. So I sold it and went throu several TT,s and landed on a Rega P25... 
Does your amp/preamp/int amp have to look good?
Yes! In my case my stereo is in my living room and I like everything to look neat. I just replaced all of my equipment for a Rogue preamp, amp and phono preamp. I like the clean design and they sound great to. I get the best of both worlds in my ...

help with a tubed integrated or pre / amp combo
I dont know about the other amps that have been spoken of but I had the Cronus Magnum for awhile. I think it has a modern tube sound. Solid base very powerful and articulate. I sold it not because I didn't like it but because I went in another di... 
Anybody familiar with Clearaudio Concept table
I have owned one. They dont do anything wrong but, dont do anything extermely right either. The reason I sold mine is because I got a Technics SP-15 and couldn't afford to keep two high quality TT's. I like the sound of the SP-15 best. Besides I ...

I have a Cronus Magnum and I think it is the best bang for the buck tube int. out there. I dont trust Chinese tube amps no matter what people say. There are a lot of parts marked with famous names that arent. I dont think you can go wrong with th... 
Shelby Lynn: Just a Little Lovin LP
I don't know what issue my LP is but it is quiet and one of my favorite LP's to listen to. Especially to check out carts. for vocal accuracy.... 
Downgrading from Rega P5, what next?
I wouldn't sell the P-5. You will regret it. If you have downgraded your electronics that is enough. You wont be satisfied with the sound you get with the downgraded TT after using the P-5. Keep it, be happy. You can go sking another time. I know... 
Systemdek iix upgrade path to ??
Hi Jack, you didn't mention the arm on your Systemdek, so I am assuming it is the arm that comes with the table.First, the DL-103r cart is not the best match. I would try a different more compliant cart first. Do you plan on keeping the Denon for...

Jelco 750D or 750L?
There is a theoretical advantage, but I don't think a real advantage. I asked that question about a year ago on another forum. I ended up with the 750D and I am happy and a couple of hundred dollars richer. 
solid state vs tubes
I guess this question will be asked forever. In my experience tubes and SS do sound different. But, I have had tube amps that sound close to SS and SS that sounds close to tubes. Having said that, I have never owned a SS amp that can give the 3D ... 
Tubelike SS Power amp
I have a McCormack DNA-1 that sounds tube like in the highs and midrange. The bass has better pitch definition than a tube amp has though....
