VPI Scout cart pairing
I don't see a point in havein a high output MC. To me it kind of defeats the purpose of a MC cart. if you want hight output by MM or MI. If you want low output buy MC. 
VPI Scout cart pairing
Not an MM but I use a Lyra Dorian in with Scout. 
Integrated Amp - Looking to replace my amp & pre
or Symphonic Line or maybe the new Naim intergrated. 
How will XLR cables vs RCA effect a phono pre
When you use XLR form turntable to phono pre, do you also the need XLR from phono to amp or doesn't that matter. The idea of XLR to phono interests me but my amp doesn't have XLR inputs. And I am not going to change my amp anytime soon.The only ph...

Help on choosing a amp for Dali Helikon 400 mk1
I forgot to mention, the Dali 400mkI I listened to was modified with an other tweeter and an other filter. 
$5000 integrated budget: Please help me choose....
My advise would be a Symphonic Line RG10mkIV reference. I own a SL La Musica and absolutly love it. It has all the good things of a SS amp lots of bass controll and dynamics but is is not sterile in sound. The RG series is a bit cleaner then the L... 
Help on choosing a amp for Dali Helikon 400 mk1
I have heard de Dali 400mkI a few times, the best amp driving the speakers I heard was the musical fidelity tri-vista 300. I know it is not an answer to the question. 
Dynaudio contour 2.8, 3.0, 3.3
Thank you for the response. I was afraid I would never get an answer. I will have a look to see if I can find a 2nd hand pair of the C1. The C1 does have a high WAF factor so that should keep my girlfriend happy. 
Looking for integrated w/ good dynamics kick
Symphonic Line RG9/RG10 2nd hand. I own a Symphonic Line and ist not bass shy to MY ears. The La Musica that I own is a bit smoother then a RG9 or 10 I think. The amps don't turn out 100's of watts but inless you play at concert sounds levels most...

Dali Helicon 400s with Classe amp
Macd,The size of your room is that in feet or meters? If it is in feet I would not sugest you use Dali Helicon 400's also if you do buy the 400 buy the mkI and not the mkII. I know someone who has done a direct comparison and he prefered the mkI. ... 
Best way to upgrade from Krell 400xi
Admitedly my knowledge of Krell is rather limited, but if I was shopping for a new (intergrated) amp the Symphonic Line amps would be on my short list. 
Which Integrated got you off the merry go round?
Naim makes some excellent gear. They are not very powerful but then again most people don't need more then 10-20 watt. So a 100watt amp should be sufficient in most cases. For an average 30m2 living room. My amp also gives about 100watt the manufa... 
What integrated beats AES Sixpacs? Budget $3500
Primaluna Dialogue 1 or 2 would also be very nice.But listen yourself, if it was up to me I would stay away from tubes, or maybe get a Pathos new classic one or Logos.
