DRT XV1s Vs Orpheus Vs Shelter Harmony Vs 47 Labs
Jtimothya,I was wondering if you posted the results anywhere for the review of the four phono stages? If not, would you care to share with us how the various phono stages compared with the Orpheus? Thanks.

Stiltskin,Sounds like a great journey with some really great gear along the way. I was able to hear some Quads with atmosheres down in Chicago several years back. Magical midrange that I'll never forget. A great experience. Thanks for sharing with...

Stilskin, I must say your preamp is absolutely beautiful looking. A work of art!Could you share with us what cartridge and amplifier you are using with it?Thank you.

David12: I would say that the leads on the Aro are indeed quite delicate and must be handled with the utmost of care. With that being said, I do think that the Aro is a remarkable performer. Very balanced and natural sounding. Sounds like music to...

David12, Thanks so much for the update. Did you happen to have a chance to hear the Naim Aro arm on the Raven One at the show or elsewhere? 
Question regarding cartridge outputs...
Thank you so much for the detailed answers and making this easier for me to understand. The knowledge that you all share with the people in this forum is a great asset and is much appreciated. 
Question regarding cartridge outputs...
I currently am using a Benz MO.9 which is said to be .9mV @ 3.54cm/second. If I were to switch to the Ruby3H which is said to be .7mV @ 3.54cm/second.....how much difference in gain would I lose? Would it be very noticeable? Can it be expressed in... 
Question regarding cartridge outputs...

Thanks to all who posted and expressed your experiences. It is greatly appreciated. I talked to Jeffrey and he is not aware of any Raven owners in either Wisconsin or the Chicago area. We are currently in the midst of a home remodel project that s... 
What are the High, Medium output MC top contenders
You may also want to consider the EMT JSD5 or JSD6. They have 1mv output and are very respected. 
What are the High, Medium output MC top contenders
Have you considered the Ruby 3H with .7mv output. I'm using an older MO.9 wood bodied Benz with .9mv output into an Artemis Labs PH-1. It is all tubed, no sut's and has a gain of about 52db. It works fabulously!

It looks as though the overwhelming majority of people are using the Phantom to great success. Has anyone out there heard the Naim Aro on the Raven One yet. Also, is the Phantom a huge jump up in performance over the Vivid?Thanks.

Stiltskin,Well, I'll tell you, it's been a long winter here in Wisconsin. It seemed as though it snowed every other day. We had record snow falls this season...thank God for good audio or I would have gone stir crazy. The last few days have been i...

Stiltskin,I have not ordered one as of yet but am seriously considering the Raven One. I currently am using a Linn LP12 modified with the Pink Triangle Pink Link DC motor, top plate, battery power supply; Naim ARO tonearm; Benz wood body cartridge...
