| Need some Cart recommendations, $300 - $700 (New/Used) range…warm, full, yet great def. Perhaps you'll like the sound of SPU cartridges, but you'll need to make sure you have proper tonearm matching. | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 @clearthinker you are spot on of why I purchased a VDH Grail SB- excellent sonics, very low noise floor, long track record, bargain priced in used market. I’m hoping for additional brand synergy with my VDH Colibri Grand Cru. | |
| Phono Stage upgrade to complement Dohmann Helix One Mk 2 The Van Den Hul Grail SE (or SB) is a “CURRENT” phono stage that has garnered excellent reviews. I own the SB. | |

| Every day I see another turntable recommendation... @saulh It’s unclear why you want a turntable “only” for your first foray into vinyl.

| “House” Character of Popular $20-$30k Speakers what gear / amplification was paired with the A5’s when you listened to them? I did not demo the A5. I’ve heard the A3, S1,S3, S5mk2, M2, M3, M6 so I am very familiar with Magico house sound. My electronics are the Constellation Inspiration P... | |
| “House” Character of Popular $20-$30k Speakers @nyev I’m also shopping in the $20-30k range. The Magico A5 is a bargain at it’s price point. It surpasses the S3 and completes with the S5mk2. It’s midrange is fantastic. Magico generally are neutral transparent speakers so should be a rel... | |
| 2nd systems- who’s got one? Working on building 2 systems : neutral linear and flea watt. In addition, may get a desktop headphone system. | |

| Kiseki Purpleheart +1 @mijostyn Of all the cartridges mentioned here, and there is not a klinker in the lot The differences between the carts mentioned is mostly preference rather than performance. Based on my research rather than direct experience: Ortofon Ca... | |
| Solid State Phono Stages The Paradox Phono 70 Signature phono preamplifier is a sonic bargain, but has very limited adjustments. Very positive online reviews. Not sure if too powerful for your PC1 cart. | |
