| Wilson Benesch-Great or just Okay? @ozzy62 +1 and we do know the answer ;-) | |
| Wilson Benesch-Great or just Okay? Wilson Benesch speakers are stunning. I have heard a number of models multiple times, with a variety of amplification, and have a few friends that own them. They are the speaker I would choose if I upgrade from my ProAc D-40r. Their cabinets have... | |
| Where next from gamut d200i? I would keep the Gamut amp. While it can be difficult to demo, working with a local dealer can be helpful, and some provide demo units you can hear in your home. Another way to try some tube preamps is buy and try. I have bought two or three use... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other @dover Thanks for your comments. I have heard the AMG many times and owned a SME 10 for a while. Nice to hear comments from someone who has heard both. | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other @sokogear The AMG is also an integrated Turntable, tonearm, clamp design. The same as the SME, in terms of integrated design. Why SME instead of AMG? Have you heard both turntables? | |

| Experience with DS Audio Optical Cartridge Systems @mijostyn How did the DS Audio cartridge sound when you heard it? | |
| Analog upgrade Another consideration for you might be an AMG Giro with tonearm ($10K) and a DS Audio optical cartridge + energizer ($4K). I understand dealer loyalty. What does he carry other than ClearAudio? | |
| Experience with DS Audio Optical Cartridge Systems The DS Audio cartridge, which I have heard many times is excellent. It is also a scalable system, so you can upgrade to a better cartridge or power supply in the system as they all work with each other. If I were not already invested in a number ... | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver I didn’t know if you looked at any local dealers or not. I saw one carried Klipsh and JBL, both high efficiency. I also noted that one of the dealers in Denver carried ProAc. I owned Quicksilver amps at one point and they were a good match with P... | |

| Turntable SOTA makes a good turntable. You will also get a significant performance improvement if you shed the Rega tonearm, although you may want to move it to the SOTA, and then upgrade the tonearm later | |
