H2O S250 vs CIA D-200 vs PS Audio GCA-500
Mprime. Is that an optical illusion or do you listen that close to your speakers - any closer they would be headphones. 
EAR 834p Deluxe version or Audio Research Ph-5

Manly Steelhead - any downside??
Richardmr, jikes the thor is expensive! n$US8490. that is a lot of aussie $.Looks beautiful thou.Gain information is conmflicting. specs say 55db MC which would not be enuf to drive my .3 xv-1s, but the printer friendly page has 78db. Big difference!

Manly Steelhead - any downside??

Manly Steelhead - any downside??
I just received the brand spanking new steelhead from the distributor and finished playing three LP's. New Order's latest LP "waiting for the sirens call", New Order "Brotherhood" and 1st Dire Straits album.WOW! It sounds great straight from the b... 
Phono cable, are they really different?
