| Phono recommendation for around $1000 used If its just a temporary phono stage I would recommend the iFi Iphono 2 at $500 new its a great phono stage that punches well above its price point and has the flexibility for just about any cart. if you can find a Gold Note PH10 used that is also ... | |
| Has anyone experience with the Cocktail Audio X14? It does a lot but its not great sounding, mid-fi at best but if that's all you need then the feature set is impressive. I listen to one of the earlier models though so may have improved some since then. Its basically a computer in a box with an in... | |

| JLH 2003 Class A - how good is it? There are way better class A amps out there, Luxman ,Pass labs, Sungden all make excellent class A amps. this kit is very inexpensive and IMO you pay for what you get specially in class A where heat management is a major issue. $44. is nothing in... | |

| Feastrex Vivace As a field coil are you prepared to spend the required money on two power supplies for the field coils, my research last year on a field coil driver led me to drop them as a suitable driver starting from scratch. I found you need to spend min $100... | |
| Thinking of a used Hegel H160 integrated – thoughts and/or alternatives? Just a thought the new Jeff Roland integrated's are Class D and will not be nearly as power hungry as the older class AB models, may want to look into it if you like the Rowland house sound. Also your Accuphase is 150wpc that's good power availabi... | |

| Iso Acoustics tweak for regarding P9 or probably any rega table I also use the Orea Bordeaux under my table (Garrard 301) I think they have a huge improvement over the cone system I had prior. most notably the isolation of external vibrations, not suspended table isolation mind you. I found they helped focus t... | |
