Choices: Nagaoka MP-50, MP-300, or Garrott P77i?
Vinyladdict,I'm thinking about buying Garrot P77i too.Right now I'm using, Empire EDr-9 and it sound pretty good, but it is bass shy. I'm very curious about your impressions with P77i. 
Do I really need R2R ?
That why I have not yet bought R2R. Cost and availability of R2R quality recording are sky high. First I wanted to hear my Nakamichi CR7A at full potential. Is there anybody who have R2R with some high quality recordings and one of the top Nakamic...

Best Preamp = No Preamp?

Hello,It is Quricap 0.56uF (this Q could be fancy A) (yes they are output caps), there are not other output caps.It is interesting that he has changed value from 0.56uF (#250) to 1uf (#238). Does anybody with serial below #250 have 1uF ?

Thanks, I will have to check how many of them (yellow 1uf/450V)are there.I agree that Supratek sound really good from the start, but I'm hoping that with some "help" it can be that good like Lamm or VAC :)What changed in Suratek sound with balance...
