Phonostage: Wavac vs Doshi vs Tron
Wavac for me all the way 
Garrard 301 restoration
I am also looking in that direction, either a restored Garrard, Lenco or EMT. Have you done any research on how much a restored Garrard cost like (espcially from one of these well known restorers) ? 
Phonostage: Wavac vs Doshi vs Tron
Wavac = Pure, pristine, airy, spacious soundTron = Smooth, lush, more tube likeDoshi - no ideaYou can always add 47 Labs phonocube and Naim superline to this list 
Audio Technica ART9 cartridge
Which AT carts do you use in particular 
Audio Technica ART9 cartridge
Thank Dkarmeli. You have an amazing system!I will be buying the ART9 and post back here.Interestingly for the same price as an ART9 I can buy a Lyra Delos too but AT33PTG did things that the Delos didnt quite managed to do. The Delos definitely mo... 
Dynaudio, Devore Orangutan, or Harbeth
I have heard and owned many dynaudios and Harbeths. I have also owned naim. They all have different strengths and weaknesses. If you want the best of both and some more, look at the Tannoy Prestige speakers. Especially the Sterling and Turnberry t... 
Most compatible phono pre for Lyra Delos
Kiko65,I know most of the phonostages that you have mentioned here. I have heard them quite closely and the kind of improvement you are looking for going from a P75 in general comes only from phonostages at $3k and above (exceptions might be there... 
First foray into Class A amp -- recommendations
Most of the amps recommended here are in general good amps, however if you really want hear something special, check out the Symphonic Line Kraft amplifier. Even their slightly lower models like the RG7 would make most of the typical class A amps ... 
Review: First Watt M2
How does an F6 compare with M2 ? I was thinking of trying an F6 for my Tannoy DC speakers. 
Isolation disc for speaker spikes on wood floors.
I have tried many many of these under my Tannoy speakers, ranging from the typical 5 cent coins all the way to expensive Harmonix footers. The best value for money and most effective turned out to be the "Linn Skeet". You can find it on ebay UK. P... 
Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE
Two of my absolute favourite speaker brands are Tannoy and ATC. I also like Magico but not as much. It is all about making it sound real and "authentic". 
Best 300B SET
Hi Charles,If you read my previous post on this thread I have mentioned that the Wavac is the best ever "300B" SET that I know of and that too by a significant margin. I am still evaluating the Tannoys with the 10 watt Wavac. There are many wow mo... 
Best 300B SET
Seldom do you come across a gear which is actually "the best" in the world almost undisputed and when that happens it is a ethreal feeling. At least when it comes to 300B SET I know there is no better amp than the Wavac EC-300B. It is not among th... 
Which high power SET
For me, #1 priority is amp's ability to drive speaker sufficiently. If not, SQ will suffer whether low or high listening levels from my experience.Could not agree more. 
Which high power SET
Hi Charles and Jeff, I have not heard the Absolare. My comment was more general. Just like a 300B, an 845 also has its own signature. In fact companies like Line Magnetic audio have amps where they use 845 output tubes driven by 300B as driver tub...
