| Upgrades or a different table? Phono preamp is always a good move. I haven't heard the PS audio it may be a good unit. If it were me I would put an Audiomods classic arm on the Rega. This will be a substantial improvement since you plan on keeping the Rega. | |
| New cart for under 1K Maybe a grand spent on getting the room right might be the way to go. I did not see any mention of room treatments. If you have already addressed this. Disregard my comment and buy the Dynavector, great sounding cartridge. You could also look at a... | |
| Need help selecting a preamp under $1500 I have a buddy that has one of these. Very nice sounding. I think it is in your price range. http://www.musicalconcepts.com/paspro1a.html | |
| Upgrade from Rega P3-24 ..... I haven't had a Rega in a while but I think the addition of the Audiomods Classic arm would be a worthwhile upgrade. You get a much better arm and VTA without spacers. If you are handy you can do the kit for around $500. You can then sell the arm ... | |
| Hafler DH-220 problems I would give John Hillig of Musical Concepts a call, or try and contact Frank at AVA . These 2 guys know the Haflers better than most. They should be able to help. | |

| 12' x 14' room; $10k budget for speakers; help Since I am a fan of Merlin VSM's I will have to say give them a shot. These with a pair of subs will work nice in your room. I would also look at the Vapor Cirrus. Very good speaker. | |
| Modern amp that has warmth and sound of B&K? Knowing the work that John Hillig does. I would not hesitate to have the B&K upgraded. If you like the sound of your amp why change. What can you buy new for 600 that will compare. If you buy used you may be getting something that in a few yea... | |
| OL Silver MKIII vs Audiomod You may want to post this over at vinyl engine. I have no experience with the Origin live but can say I am very impressed with the Audiomods arm. | |
| Tonearm selection is not easy Every one on your list is a good choice. My top choice would be either the Naim, or the Kuzma. The Graham is also a top flight arm. You might want to include the Audiomods in your search. I think it's a best buy and hangs with the big boys.http://... | |
| Hafler DH500 vs Newer Integrated Amp/Class D? What is the rest of your system? I know that the Hafler can be modified with excellent sounding results. You just have to determine if it is worth it to you. Some of the Class D amps are very nice sounding for not a lot of money.Sturgus | |

| ARONOV LS-9100 ..How realible is this tube amp ? Mine have been going strong since 97. I still play them most everyday. I did have one problem and that was a bad resistor in both of them. They were replaced maybe 10 years ago and no problems since. As far as service goes any good tech should be ... |
