Anthem Integrated 225 -opinions
I own the Anthem and like it. However I'm curious about other gear like Exposure, Simaudio, etc. My previous setup was a Sonic Frontiers Line 1 preamp and Monarchy mono block amplifiers. With that said, I like the simplicity of an integrated and w...

Fwiw, I made some cables out of 14ga Magnet Wire today. I posted earlier in the cable section regarding details.Bottom line, it sounds really good to me. The cost is minimal, and when I listened earlier, I didn't feel I was missing anything. Maybe...

Did you ever listen to the Anthem? I'd be interested In the difference you noticed between the Rega and Anthem. No brick and mortar shops around me... I live vicariously through others!Best,Gary

Chakster, Sorry, I was mistaken on the Isonoe. I already have 'half' of another isolation product. I'm going to buy the other half.Regarding the mat, I intend to buy an aftermarket mat that has been recommended. The mat can be returned if it doesn...

Czarivey,Thanks for the input. I enjoy the 1200, and I think a few tweaks will keep me happy for awhile. The VTA is handy and I use it, something I forget about and take for granted. Regards,Gary

I didn't know the SL1200 had a phono section built in. I've been using the phono input on the Anthem. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi, the phono stage is in my Anthem integrated. But I see your point. The answer is yes, I can change the phono stage by adding one between the Technics and the Anthem via Aux input.I do like the simplicity of my system. When I've had more complex...
