Enough Gain?
My previous setup was with Elys and Rega p3. I found few records from my collection that I've never listened since I've upgraded my analogue rig to the real serious levels and can tell you that certainly you can't get bass with Elys that can offer...

Advice wanted on mid range setup
Jjmali,I specifically want to add that in old vinyl time only the first ones sounded real good. Reissues very often was sounding terrible. I know some ways to distinguish either by serial numbers or by jackets but I realy collect only originals. R...
