Harbeth compact 7es3 vs. ProAc Response 2
I appreciate everyone's comments thus far. Does anyone know if the Harbeth Compact 7es3 is shielded? I'll be using these in a small room which will require them to be set right along each side of a tube tv. I know that the ProAc Response Two when ... 
Opera Prima ?
Bongofury..Thank you so much for responding. I havn't been able to find much info on the Opera, so I appreciate your input. Base on what I've read, I am also considering the Harbeth Compact 7 an SHL5. Do you happen to know how the Harbeth's sound ... 
Cartridge for Naim ARO
I've had great results with a wood bodied Benz MO.9 on my ARO which is on an LP12 as well. Coupled with the Artemis Labs PH-1, it provides excellent harmonics, with natural detail and dynamics that sounds like real live music, not hi-fi. I can't i...

DRT XV1s Vs Orpheus Vs Shelter Harmony Vs 47 Labs
Tim, Thank you so much for sharing your reviews of the various phonostages. I currently own the Artemis Labs Ph-1 and was very curious as to how your felt it worked with the Orpheus. The comparisons of the other stages were of benefit as well.

To Raven One owners.....
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...

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...
Restock, yes you are correct in assuming that these are two different cartridges. Piedpiper hit the nail on the head as for why I was asking. I use an all tube phono stage w/out any SUT's and have been contemplating getting a new cartridge. I've a... 
To Raven One owners.....
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...
