| stats Russe41,I agree with you on the Rogers. They sound great and rarely come up for resale. The OP does need to listen personally as they have a narrow listening window. | |
| Which cartridge should I upgrade to now? Glad to hear it all worked out for you. When you have time and budget you should send your old Shelter 501 to be retipped and you will have a spare. | |
| Agoners: Need Advice! Have 3K to spend on an Amp, what do I do with no way to audition? Just 2 comments.1. You should add the Aesthetix Atlas to your list2.

| stats I have heard all of them. IMO Sound lab is the best of them. The Martin Logans always seem bright sounding to me. The Apogees are no longer made, may require expensive service, and some models like Scintilla require very careful amp matching.If yo... | |
| Counterpoint NP-220 died: Try an Aesthetix Atlas. Hybrid amp with great sound and plenty of power like your Counterpoint | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Dave_b, Looks like the MIT cables were not a very good match for your system. Glad you found something that works better. | |

| Need to upgrade Phono section of Rogue Cronos mag If turning up the volume is the issue just turn it up. IMO you should wait until you can make a significant improvement before upgrading | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings The analogy is interesting because from the start hi definition flat panels were better than CRT scrrens, I don't think the same is true and maybe never will be with regard to class a and ab amps v. Class d amps | |
| Need New Speaker Cables to Replace my Nordost SPM's Thanks akg_ca. I use Nordost cables as well and agree that there is distinct improvement as you move up the product line. This is easy to hear at a Nordost cable demonstration. My experience is also that one set of more expensive cables and jumper... | |
| Need New Speaker Cables to Replace my Nordost SPM's You can always use jumpers and not bi-wire. If you like Nordost, you may want to just move up the Nordost product line | |
| Anyone own or heard of PrimaLuna? You should type "Primaluna" in the forum search. Many comments to see. | |
| Affordable Turntable Options Have you seen a U-Turn, or just on line photos. I saw one and they don't appear to be very well made IMO. If your Marantz does not work I would look look at a new pro-ject or Rega with cartridge in your price range | |
