| Matching stepup to phono stage PatrickWhy are you not recommending Bent Audio. | |
| How high is your soundstage? given the system I think you have enough distance. do you have a pair of minimonitors you can borrow and try on chairs or better yet stands. They should completely disapear. if they do the speakers are probably a mismatch for the room. the narrowe... | |
| preamp/phonostage question Just connect a pair of interconnects to any of the auxilary inputs and make sure you ground the turntable properly to the outboard linestage. One thing that Jay Kaufman of Audio Revelation a dealer that is on agon pointed out the other day is that... | |
| Upgrade old LP12 or buy a new table?? second to what herman said. I think the Linn table has stood the test of time. Put a nice Koetsu rosewood on the table and you will be very happy. | |
| Best TT under 2K? I would suggest a nice used linn lp12 with ittok arm (original pre cirkus) I have seen these on agon for around 1500. put a nice grado on it and you have a very sweet turntable. | |
| "Budget" preamp choices. Conrad Johnson PV11L can be had used for your budget. Great sounding tube preamp that would compliment your setup. | |

Krell is known for providing sufficient current ... | |
| Linn Ittok IV II - The Best Cartridge Match ? I have the same setup but no circus and lingo and have the newer Koetsu black. I am getting great detail as well as the magic koetsu's are known for i.e.: the great midrange holographic imaging etc. | |
| Need an amp, either SS or tube, around $1000 If you can get a Krell ksa100 mk11 not the new ones. this amp soundstages like crazy and has a great bottom end. very smooth as well so it will make all your music very listenable. I have seen them anywhere from 1300 and up. good match for a tubed... | |
| Cartridge recommendation? Sorry I didnt read the post carefully enough. Maybe a used grado | |
| Cartridge recommendation? Koetsu black goldline. I think the mccormack will do low output moving coils. truly holographic and sweet. | |
| Monitors under $1500? Dont forget the Totem Hawk, Model one and Rainmakers all excellent speakers. | |
