Goldfinger Statement, Lyra Atlas or Ortofon Anna?
ZYX 4D, have you listened to ? 
Analytical or Musical Which way to go?
"Most good marriages have traits in common and most bad marriages are very different from each other"Same with audio, though it may not be measurable.No one denies there are good sounding speakers that also measure well. The question is why do som... 
Graaf GM50, can it drive Tannoy Turnberry ?
Thank you for the responses.I am happy to learn that my Turnberry so tube friendly. I was always weary of tubes because with my Naim SS I get a very solid slam along with liquid music. I hope the OTLs would retain that slam and dynamic swings ?? 
Graaf GM50, can it drive Tannoy Turnberry ?
Another contender is Atmasphere M60 OTL. 
Rega P3-24 Vs VPI Scout.
Rega sounds fast, but it doesnt sound naturally fast. Its speed feels boosted. Vpi, I dont know, but they are not known for rock. Technics 1200, yes that is one table that is really well engineered at this price point and just sounds natural, like... 
Phonostage: Naim Superline vs 47 Labs phonocube
Stanwal, would you like to write a few words about the Superline ? 
Lyra or ZYX ?
As an update, I bought the ZYX rs30-02 cartridge. Much much better than Denon 103pro. For the tonearm, I have an option of buying Graham 1 tonearm for about $1.2k and a Graham 2.2 for $2k. Not sure if the additional $800 is worth the investment!! ... 
How will you split $3000 between phono and cart ?
I have ordered a XYX RS30 cart. Once it is set I will be able to write a more accurate review of this phonostage. Briefly speaking it has the resolution, speed and drive of phonostages costing $10k and above combined with very low noise floor. 
Lyra or ZYX ?
Doug, there is a ZYX RS30-02 on sale for $500. This is a mouth watering price provided this cartridge is as good as current ZYX cartridges are. Do you have any idea about them ? 
How will you split $3000 between phono and cart ?
Update: I bought the RCM Sensor Prelude phonostage. Now for the cartridge, oscillating between ZYX R50 Bloom and Ortofon Kontrapunkt H. 
DAC Accustics Art - Ayon CD5S - AMR DAP 777
I have heard the AMR and Ayon players. I have owned Reimyo for quite some time. One day I heard a Naim and everything fell into place. It has the best of the resolution, dynamics, tone and PRAT. It sounds high definition but in a very natural way,... 
Lyra or ZYX ?
Syntax, FR64 has an effective mass of 35g. Will it work with cartridge like ZYX and Lyra ? 
Lyra or ZYX ?
Interesting reply :-). So you found the 47 labs tonearm too funny to try ! Anyway, Syntax, frankly I dont have the bandwidth to spend $5k on a tonearm. I suppose the kind of serious tonearms you are talking about are all $4k+, correct me if I am w... 
Lyra or ZYX ?
Syntax, you say that the SME 3012 was made for super soft carts but it has a effective mass of 14 grams, will that accomodate a high compliance cartridge like the Shure or Empire (compliance above 25) ?
