| Are our 'test' records adequate? Hi Henry, got that davinci arm singing now? I totally agree that SS amps are getting a lot better. I had an extended listen at home very recently to the Gryphon Colosseum and Antileon. The Colosseum especially was a great sounding amplifier. Tube ... | |

Yes, the TW does deliver in the lower frequencies, however it is not as obvious as some phono stages with S... | |
| What is the Phono stage you have finished with? Dopouge - do you have any issues with noise - ie tube rush. I have had the rhea home twice and heard the IO and all units had(to me) noticible tube noise at loud levels. My cartridges are around .35 mv.I would have luved the IO, however too noisy.... | |
