Prima Luna Premium Pre
So The Prima Luna weighs more and may be better built.How do the parts internally compare to a Conrad Johnson ET3SE on a quality basis?More importantly does it sound better?My local dealer sells both CJ & Prima Luna and he told me The Prima Lu...

SF Elipsa vs Elipsa se

SF Elipsa vs Elipsa se
I demo'd the Elipsa's. They were awesome.I see that you can now purchase them new for about 11k.I don't think you can go wrong.That being said I purchased the Elipsa SE without listening to them.I paid more for the upgraded tweeter from The Strad'...

Project Xtension 12 or VPI Classic 3
Thanks for the responses.Will the Conrand Johnson ET3 SE be sufficient for the phono stage?I am about to sent it back to CJ to have it installed.Is there something else that you would recommend in the $2000 range for a phono pre?
