Graham Slee GSP Era Gold Mk. V - anyone have it???

this sounds great for mm or hight output mc, but for low output mc, you need the most appropriate step up transformer which, according to the lpgear.com website, will run you an additional $1000. For those on this thread that might be looking for an incredible phono pre for either mm, high or low output carts, look no further than the dynavector p-75. i know very little has been written about it here, but it truly is an amazing piece of engineering. and it's only $595. here's a link to learn more about it:

The head amp for the Era Gold Mark V is significantly under 1K.

Get your Graham Slee ERA Gold MkV from Walter at Underwood. He'll take care of you. I bought it and the Elevator EXP from him. I'm waiting on my Shelter 501 mkII to replace my new Dynavector 20HX, then I'll report on its performance.

Has anyone done a comparison between the ERA Gold MkV and any Tom Evans products? I see there is a Microgroove here on Audiogon that would ordinarily not have lasted even five minutes. Several people are moving there Leherman Black Box pre-amps too.

On the web site, it sure looks like the head amp is around $1K, which
means about $1800 for the package. Not chicken feed. Puts it in the
league with the K&K, pricewise that is.

Dan, that is my understanding as well, unless a direct inquiry will get the piece at a reduced cost (which is often the case). OTOH, the Graham Slee is no match for the K&K in terms of performance OR flexibilty, IMHO, and I agree with Sberger who cites the Dynavector as a better bargain, as well. And yes, I've heard all three units.
