| Whats the best MC cartridge for my new VPI SCOUT? I just recently upgraded from a Dyna DV-20XH to a Sumiko blackbird. I have really enjoyed it a lot over the 20XH which was no slouch.

| Best undiscovered speakers on the market today ? The Usher RW-729. I have been using for about six months and love everything they do. My MG1.6QR are now collecting dust.

| Experience with Audio Electronic Supply PH-1? I currently use one and rather enjoy it. If you decide to get one make sure you get the oil caps installed.I replaced a Grado phono stage with this and think it is a lot better. Also recently tried an AI modulus 3A. They were so close I could not ... | |

| Small room Speaker suggestions I see some great suggestions here for me to follow.The Green Mountains and vandy's keep popping up here and in the forums and have struck my curiosity. Although I thought the 6db slope crossover was not a very good idea for nearfield position. In ... | |
| MM vs. MC Agree with Slipknot on the DV20X HO, This works very wellwith the JMW9 and a decent MM stage will take kindly to it. I feed it into a AES PH-1 Phonostage(MM) with very good results. | |
| Full Function preamp Guys,Thanks for the replies, I am probably going to go ahead with Kora at least to start(Used). It would more tthan likely have the better synergy with my Kora Mono's, andI can connect via balanced between them. Should be completed within the next... | |
