TO BE OR NOT TO BE the user of a record clamp
Some tables are designed to operate with a clamp! Plus, I have had great results using a J.A. Michell clamp on a REGA P3 with upgraded acrylic platter. So , If you don't Love your record puck/weight/clamp then your using the wrong one :-)   http:/...

Sister's wants music system without the hassles!

Streaming Preamp w/ Phono
McIntosh makes preamps that do everything on your list, but they cost a lot!The Oppo Sonica is a great product for $799. Which could then be connected to a standard preamp with built in phono. Two boxes isnt so bad...Matt M

Hegel H360 vs Separates
Next youll be on here asking about cables to connect the two! LOL. Seriously, it should be a large improvement in sound Q. Better everything. I'm sure anything you can do to improve the signal going to those Focals will be rewarded :-) Matt M
