| Would you go all 1 brand for electronics? I agree, so that's why I said "can be" instead of "are." I have not personally heard a built-in perform at the stand alone level, but not ready to say definitively that it does not exist.Regarding your thoughts on having a single piece of electro... | |
| Would you go all 1 brand for electronics? Some say that built-in phonos can be as good as a stand alone (DarTZeel, Audio Note, Luxman for instance), but I have not personally heard them.My C1100 preamp is superb in every way except for the built-in phono. I tried really to love it but ju... | |
| Marantz TT15S1 Turntable. Any opinions 1500.00 Budget. Recommendations The tables in this class are all pretty close and the Marantz will serve you well. It really comes down to where you want to put more emphasis up front - table/arm vs cart. mattmiller's recommendation of an RP3/DV 10X5 is a solid solution if you... | |
| Stand mount choice I spoke with him and he would be ok with shipping to the UK if you are willing to pay for it (said it shouldn't be too much). If you would like his contact information, please send me a message and I’ll get it to you. | |
| Retooling the system upward?? What speakers would be a major upgrade over GET model 7's? In that price range, you should at least audition the Tannoy Revolution XT 8F if you can. | |
| Speakers with warm treble and good bass PMC Twenty series is all that. NEAT Motive series if your room is small/medium size. | |
| Upgrade Opinions, Thorens vs VPI @sbank, no I didn't. I tested my table and found it was running at 36 rpm so did some quick research on motor controllers. I really liked the size and flexibility of the Phoenix products (not to mention the price) vs. the VPI SDS. With the tabl... | |
| Stand mount choice I believe they were priced at US$2,200 with stands. I need to talk to him about a new cart I have coming today in so I’ll ask him about shipping if you are still interested. | |

| Upgrade Opinions, Thorens vs VPI I have a VPI TNT-2 and just added a Phoenix Eagle and Roadrunner last week. It's an outstanding table that just got a lot better. | |
| Stand mount choice My local retailer has some mint pre-owned piano black (discontinued finish) De Capos that would be in my house if I was looking for some stand mounts. | |

| McIntosh C1100 Preamp Whoa, I forgot about this thread. I actually completed my system with an MC275 amp and an Allnic H-3000 phono/HA-3000 headamp. Stunning combination that has me more than happy. | |
| Phono/preamp/amp chain. One of them tube the others SS. Which one? @orpheus10, my Allnic H-3000 phono and HA-3000 head amp retail for more than $3k, but the units inna mentions are good options in that price range. Another that might be worth a try is the Aurorasound VIDA. | |
| Phono/preamp/amp chain. One of them tube the others SS. Which one? As has been discussed here previously, synergy is key, but in my opinion, a great phono exposes the shortcomings of a lesser cart much more than the other way around. That being said, if I had to choose, I would invest as much as you are comforta... |
