What Amp with Sonus Faber Olympica 3?
@jjss49 as far as the Ref 75SE I figured with the beefed up power supply and KT150s it would have sufficient power to push the O3 and sound lovely also.

Good point mrklas about the construction. Looks like the top and the bottom of the cabinet are more rigid now so that could help with the speed or accuracy of the drivers. That is from my research and what I have seen 1st hand the main difference ...

Technics 1200G VS VPI Prime Signature
I have an older VPI Classic 1 with the Unipivot arm and it is a bit disturbing at first watching the arm pivot from side to side. Once I got it setup properly it has been a joy. Takes time to set up however, it was part of the fun. I ended up havi...
