Phono preamp or cartridge - which to upgrae first
Thank you for your additional input. In the meantime I decided to follow Teeshot's advice - at least partly. I could get a good deal on a new Transfiguration Proteus and decided to order it. Recent reviews and reports on it are very promising and ...

Thank you for the link which is quite informative. It seems astonishing though that there is such a price difference. 
Phono preamp or cartridge - which to upgrae first
Thank you for your ideas and proposals.Upgrading a new phonostage/preamp with phono would make auditioning a bit easier, it seems. Auditioning cartridges is very difficult at best, and auditioning in my own system is probably next to impossible. T... 
Experience with rethm saadhana v3
I have the new Saadhana and am very happy with it. I think the 6moons review describes it very accurately. 
Dumb VTA Question
Thank you for your quick comments, which I read with some relief as I was not really looking forward to buying a microscope + stand and spending a day or, as I am not really handy with computer programs and all this, several days learning to hand...

Thanks for your feedback, Nd4Speed. May I ask what amp you are running on your Maargas and what your experiences are?

Rethm Maarga Impressions.
Maybe I can revive this thread as I am also interested in the Maarga or even the new Saadhana. So any new input/impressions is very welcome. In particular, after reading the reviews of these speakers, I wonder whether they are suitable in the long... 
KR Audio VA340 MKII vs Melody AN 845
Dewey, could you give us an update on your impressions? 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Thank you, Spirit, that helps. I currently have the Soul Superfly with the new Nano drivers and they need to be cranked up quite a bit before coming alive, and I also feel that flea powered SET's would not be the best option for the Soul. I don't ... 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
I would be interested in how well the Def. IV comes alive on lower spl levels and how well its resolution is overall as compared to more conventional speakers. Can you shed some light on this please? 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
Thank you, 213Cobra. That puts it nicely into perspective. 
Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3?
I am following this thread with interest because I am also thinking about upgrading to the Definition Mk. IV. In this context I was astonished to read Danny Kaey's review in Positive Feedback of the excellent DarTZeel amp with more than 200 watts ...
