| Gryphon Diablo 300 vs Vitus RI-101 @btbluesky is there a darTZeel dealer in your area? (Where are you located?) darTZeel is how I'd spend my money in this category and is worth auditioning before making a decision.- Colinhttps://gestalt.audiodisclaimer: I'm a darTZeel dealer in Nas... | |

| Lamm phono stage LP2.1 Deluxe with low output ZYX MC cart You can order the LP2.1 Deluxe with 31dB of MC gain (versus the default of 20dB).

| Why are brick and mortar HiFi dealers so bad? @asvjerry if you ever find yourself in Nashville, TN I'd love to have you visit. I spent some time in an Asheville after a motorcycle crash in the mountains; lovely city from what I saw in the helicopter. ;P- Colinhttps://gestalt.audio | |
| All-in-one: $1k Marantz or $2k Hegel? Hi-Fi Choice compared some of the models you mentioned (Hegel, NAD, Arcam, Denon, Yamaha, Technics) in this price category and they liked the Denon PMA-1600NE. You may want to add it to your audition list. | |

| Reference Full Function Tube Preamplifier @normie57 I respect but disagree with your local dealer's decision (full disclosure: I'm also a Lamm Industries dealer and none of their preamplifiers have remotes). It's a non-issue in my experience, but opinions vary. :)I'm also going to step ar... | |
