| OK...I'm getting ready to buy a new Phono pre amp. Rwd: I think that the point is: what are you looking for ( in the analog sound reproduction ) that you don't have it ?, what kind of music use to hear?, wich are your " bias " at the sound reproduction?.Please let me know about it.Regards and enjo... | |
| Am I really smart or really stupid? Dear Jake42: In the 70's and early 80's ( like you say ) there was many high-end manufacturers with exelent products, your Yamaha was not one of that products.Examples: Audio research, Beveridge, Eidolon Research, Mcintosh, Threshold, etc... and m... | |

| OK...I'm getting ready to buy a new Phono pre amp. Hi Rwd: I think that is not a very good idea to buy the phono preamp that Topoxforddoc told you. I explain why:- first: both units ( Comet and meteor ) are an outboard phono stage, so the signal has to goes trough additionals cables and connectors... | |
| OK...I'm getting ready to buy a new Phono pre amp. Hi Rwd: Now, if you change your Helikon for a better cartridge you can have an improvement in the quality of your analog sound reproduction. When you already have this cartridge then you can think in the phono preamp.Always enjoy the music.Raul. | |

| Best Cartridge for VPI Aries orig + JMW 10.5 ? Hi Twl: I agree with you in that all tonearm types have their deficiencies ( all in this life have a trade-off ) and I agree, too, that the tonearm stability is an important parameter for the cartridge matching.My experiencies tell me that if you ... | |
