| Please Help - Marantz PM 7000N May I suggest a pair of KEF LS50W ($2500), these speakers only require a source (like a music server or a smartphone) you dont need any other equipment they have built in amplifiers and DAC’s and volume control. These speakers borrow the same conc... | |

| A suitable cart and possible practical tweaks for a Rega Planar 3... You cant go wrong with the Dynavector 10X5, it is a amazing sounding combo with the RB300 tonearm. However, the key to great vinyl is the phonostage. I really liked the Rega P3 with the Dynavector using a Musical Surroundings Phonomena II , this w... | |

| I want to move from Rega Planar 6 help me to pick a new turntable "I'd never own another Music Hall. Poor quality and Roy is a jackass." I had to deal with Roy Hall back in 1999 when I owned some EPOS ES22 speakers your right he is a self absorbed meglomaniac! Matt M | |
| I want to move from Rega Planar 6 help me to pick a new turntable Touche’! Audiotroy hit it right on the head. The Phono pre amp is the gateway to great vinyl sound. Based on your current set of components I would put money into a bettter cartridge (Dynavector 10X5) and phonostage (Musicial Surroundings Nova). U... |
