| Phono amp recommendations David,I have heard the same thing about the Minimax Phono really doing its best with low output MC. I didn't have the chance to hear it at its best and it was still darn good. I only got to use it with my Dynavector 20xh. I forgot to mention that ... | |

| Best DAC $1000 and under used I think the Northstar model 192 used around $1000 is an excellent value. They show up on Audiogon from time to time. Just one more to add to a very good list. | |
| Looking for All-a-round speaker $3k range At your price point I think you should really try to hear the new Consonance Eric Grande speakers. I downsized my system from Von Schweikert VR4 HSE III to these Consonance Eric Grande and I can't believe how good they sound for the price and size... |
