Phono preamp for Dynavector XX2mkII
I see some Sims and Rheas out there and they're tempting. Heard my rig for a few days w/a Sutherland Hubble and it was outstanding, but just a little more than I'm willing to spend at this point. Rest of my system is ARC tubes btw -- Ref 5/210 mon... 
preamp for ARC 210 monos
Would like to try some of these but in home auditions are tough these days. May just go Ref 5, love the 210s so it's a no brainer probably.Anyone using SS in front of the 210s? 
Damaged Dynavector 20XL
I'm in the same boat, housekeeper damaged my 20XL cantilver -- how did you find the XX2 as an upgrade? 
Ear834p Question
OT: has anyone used the 834 w/a Dynavector 20X low output? Thoughts?

I'll look into the Heed -- on fact a dealer contacted me about it; recommending it w/the XL. Has anybody used the XL with the EAR 834?

What phono stages are you all using with this cartridge? Just got it, and looking to buy the phono stage now. Leaning toward tubes. 
Dali, Amphion, Zu
I've done some of that and will do more. The folks at Zu will grant me a few more weeks if I need it.Thanks.

I'll try that, thanks. Want to love 'em, but there is w/o question a noticeable lack of clarity at the moment w/vocals -- they sound a little 'thick'.

Agreed it is a heckuva driver. I am a little nervous though in that I'm not fully happy w/the midrange transparency and my 60 days will be up soon. Am trying to amp up the break-in.I'm less sold that crossovers are best eliminated. Certain kinds o...

Just heard the Amphion Argons and have a pair of Zu Tones on home audition. At the moment anyway, I'd give the Argons the nod on voices -- more transparent and open, though the Zu folks tell me that my Tones need more time, and the slight thicknes... 
7K for preamp,HT processor, source
Yeah, am wondering if anyone has paired the two McCormack components. Or the Bel Cantos for that matter, but that's a whole other price level.

Hi, Saw your post and was wondering what tubes are you using in your Trinity's. What do you like about what you are using? Have you used any others?I'm looking to put new tubes into my Trinitiy's and know next to nothing about the choices. And Ran...
