| Modulus 3A MM phono.Need help with cart choices. look for cartridges from 1 to 3mV output voltage. For example: Dynavector 20xh has 2.5mV and $500 new. Excellent for Jazz fusion and any kind of Rock, a little bit agressive for a classical music. | |

| Is Audio Research PH3 phono the best for today's price? Bingo! What is the best way to get high quality tubes? Their retail price is usually $100 each. I can see that some of them go off ebay for $25-30 a piece. Are these tubes fake? In fact I do not know how to distinguish real ones. | |
| Is Audio Research PH3 phono the best for today's price? It seems to me that PH3 needs a freequent retubing like a baby needs its diaper changed. You change the tubes every 1.5 years -- it feels better and sounds more open and faster.Any thoughts? | |
| best used transport 400-700 Theta data II, EAD T1000, or EAD T7000(cd/ld), Monarchy DT40b universal CD/LD. I have Monarchy DT40b coupled with EAD DSP-700 MK2 this overall $700 combo blows away cd players like YBA, Muse, Krell which are way over $1k | |
