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?

Chayro, I've heard good things about the Denon. However, my built in phono stage is suited best for MM or high output- ruling the 103 out. Correct me if I'm wrong.When I upgraded from NOS Shure I noticed a pretty big difference, so I'm not opposed...

Thanks guys, I guess the only way to know is to try it out. The closest brick and mortar dealer is probably 200-300 miles. It may be worth a shot to demo one via an Internet dealer if agree to pay frt, etc. I was curious what others had to say to ...
