Sure, it's quiet. But is the sound as good going through a builtin stepup device in a phono stage. I wonder.

Yes, but isn't there a disadvantage to running the lowoutput through a stepup transformer? 
LP 12 the Extreme Phono Way-First Impressions
I'm going to have my Linn modified by a local fellow in DC with same setup; after buying better speakers, they clearly, all too clearly, revealed the shortcomings of the Linn. Modify it--after all, Linn has made successive upgrades over the years,... 
Bryston or Classe audio ? what do you think of both?
I think the Classe sound is a good deal above Bryston. 
Verdier and Amazon
I think extremephono is saying that he prefers sound of the Linn, whether or not more detail is extracted by another table. 
Seeking opinion for a super duper power cord....
Synergistic Designers Reference Squared. Incredible. 
DVD A Sacd or Stay put for a while
But where are the SACDs themselves? 
What amplification do you suggest for Magnepan MG20.1?
You're going to need a ton of power. I'm going to run my 20.1s, supposed to arrive soon, with the Classe Omicron and see how it works. 
PS Audio Ultimate Outlet. Does it work well on amps?
You mean you need a good set of power cords before the outlet as well as after?

You need to use the 20 amp version, which works well indeed.

Just have the upgrade urge. The LInn sounds good, but has been surpassed.

There is a dealer in my area, so I wouldn't be buying it used. It looks and sound quite good, to my ears and eyes. 
How many of you have heard the Tenor Audio amps?
Love to hear them; they've gotten very good writeups in the audiophile press.

I've also found Leonard to be most uncommunicative. Anyway, I hear ARC is already coming out with a Mk. II version of their mono amp just below the Ref 300 grade.

If correct, this is reprehensible behavior. What if you had lied and told them that you yourself were moving to Europe? Would they have done the mod?
