| Upgrading to an external Phonostages for my system The Allnic, Modwright, Herron, and Manley Chinook all have rave reviews. However they are out of my price range.

| Best mm cart for VPI scout/jmv-9 memorial arm So to update I went with the Ortofon 2m Bronze. I'm about 1/2 way in the breaking in period. It sounds really, really good. I'm running it through an Onkyo TX NR905 AV Receiver that has a phono input for mm carts. I also picked up a Harman Kardon... | |
| Review: Harman Kardon HK990 Amplifier I'm Thinking about picking on of these up. However, I also am intrigued by the Marantz PM 15S2. Does anyone have any info about comparing the two of them. I am leaning towards the HK990. But I've heard a lot of good things about the Marantz. | |
