Auditorium 23 with Dynavector 20x2l?
the Dyna has a much lower impedance than the Denon 103 for which the A23 step-up was designed.if it helps, i have a 20x2 that i run into Dyna’s own SUP-200 SUT and it’s a fabulous combination.

Do they make a quiet great sounding phono pre amp??

Does anyone run 2 or more turntables...
yep -- i have two turntables, as well. the first is an LP12/Naim Aro/Armageddon that only does 33rpm, so i also have a Rega P5 for 45rpm duties.i've been wrestling with my next step: get a Radikal for the LP12, which does both speeds -- or replace... 
Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ...
Like everyone else, it seems, this thread has got me curious about the ART-9! Any ideas about whether it would be a good match for a Naim Aro?
