| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? I have heard the raven one, raven AC 3 and the black knight. All I can say they are great turntables. But the difference between them is minimal.

| Upgrade modded P25 to P7 or uprade cartridge Johnbender,It has been a while since I moved from the P25 to the VPI Scout. I find it hard to discribe a difference in sound.I use a Lyra Dorian in my Scout. The Scout is a bit smoother less in your face then the Rega I think. Rgea is more about a... | |
| Nordost Vahalla or Mit Oracle To be honest I think there are better speaker cables then Nordost. I will admit the Nordost cable I have used is not in the same league as the Vahalla. I think Nordost speaker cable is not really neutral I get a feeling it gives a false sence a be... | |
| Upgrade modded P25 to P7 or uprade cartridge Go for the P7 I would say. Spending more money on the p25 would seem a waste. I have owned a P25 and swtiched to a VPI Scout. I also thought about upgrading my P25 but I found out it is cheaper to just sell the P25 and buy a better turntable. A fu... | |

Since it is so pure it really like to desolve salts and other solubles. Even if they come out of you vinyl. Never drink water like that. It is ... | |
| How to convert VPI turntable to banlanced? Atmasphere. I see you make phono amps only as part of a pre amp, according to the site. I don't see any seperate phono stage. Please don't take it personal but I'm not a tube lover. So I woudn't buy a tube phonostage. | |

| SS integrated amp to drive Wilson audio sophia/WP7 How much do you want to spend? New or second hand. If you want power from an integrated amp a 2nd hand Musical Fidelity tri-vista 300 might do the trick. It is also a very good amp. | |
| In Europe, owning Coincident Super Victory/ TV IV? For some reason I don't like speaker designs where the woofer is at the side. My "guts" tell me this can only cause problems. By why do designers place woofers at the side? | |

| Beatles Remasters: Mono vs. Stereo Debate Thread I just think it is stupid that the mono version is a limited version. Why on earth do that. I'm not a fan of limited editions, I don't think it serves a point. well maybe the one point is that the record componies are sure to sell out.I think the ... | |
| XLR or SE cable? The only times XLR is usefull is when you use extremly long IC's. Or if you equipment is build for XLR. By that I mean that all the signal processing is balanced. Most of the time this is NOT the case since you need double the amount of components... | |

Now I'm using me intergrated amplifiers phono stage. But sometimes I wonder wether it would be a good idea to buy a seperate phono amp. However ... | |
