Impressions of the BAT REX
Bill and Tom,So how are your BAT REX preamps sounding? I am starting to get the itch. (Tom I know we talked when I tried) I think I am having a hard time moving away from BAT. I recently bought new speakers (Wilson Maxx 3) and they are easier to d... 
Upgrade...Sounds great...Goes away
When you get to repeat step one above, is about the time my wife hits me in the head with a club. Sometimes I still repeat your process though :) 
Grounding wires on PAD Venustas phono
Maybe I am wrong here, but I think both ends should be connected. In our DIN's one of the 5 pins is the sheild ground (so connected to the tonearm) then at the other in is the phono stage... 
Grounding wires on PAD Venustas phono
nsgarch is right on the venustas. Killer phono cable-I used to own one but stepped up in the purist line (actually now there are 3 more expensive 2oth anniversary, Dominus, Proteus Provectus). Each ground wire needs to be attached. So one to the t... 
Phono pre amp
I am with Swampwalker and Mingles.But other choices are Aesthetix IO (has volume control option) or why not get the matching Hovland Preamp with phono built in? Nagra PLL another good preamp with phono built in choice... 
How much fluid do you guys use?
I guess I'm guilty of over using. I use about 2 tablespoons...then spread around with a last brush...(I use premier 1st, the record research deep clean, then wash) 
Hi Wilson W/P8 owners, best amp ever to drive WP8?
Hi, What is the rest of your system and room? And did you hear the ref 210's in your system or somewhere else? Did your wp 8's get professionally dailed in via a wilson dealer?The WP 8's are great speakers, but will let you hear everything ahead o... 
Yet another VPI 16.5 thread
Hi, I've had mine for 7-8 years. Yes all it does is spin the record (one direction) and suck the fluid off into a tank. (empty it via a tube out of the back)I have never had one single issue regarding quality. For the money, it's built very well.I...

Cbd0815: Sorry I missed your id ! I should have bought your vk52se. seriously, I regret it...then upgraded it to REX when I could...that's after my experiments...

Ayon Triton Integrated or Keep my BAT?
Ok, here's my opinion and saying this w/o hearing your Ayon...It's pretty hard to move away from BAT if you like it. I have tried on a number of occasions. I can get somethings different, somethings better, but you always loose that what you love ... 
Nagra VPS
My dealer brought a Nagra VFS by yesterday. Very nice improvement. More focus, more detail, just more of everything I love about my Nagra VPS.I highly recommend it to Nagra VPS onwers. 
Battery on preamps like Nagra PL-L etc repost
Kamil, so are you still using your Nagra PL L with batteries? I have a Nagra VPS and am thinking about getting a PLL soon maybe.Any issues or regrets? Or is it really that good of a step up? Thanks 
Is there life after a KXR? Help
Some great suggestions above, the BAT VK52SE, or even a 51SE for a little less $$'s. Both work, however only the 52SE has a upgrade path like Tom suggests and the 52SE is a step up over the 51SE apparently...Also, on a side note, given your phono ...
