VPI Aries with JMW-10 need help

I was using a Grado Reference with my Aries JMW/10. I thought it sounded really good. I would recommend this with the PH3 SE as mentioned above. As Kehut says though; if you can stretch your budcet to the ZYX you will be better off in speed, detail, and extension.

When I had a linestage, I had a MacCormack Phono Drive (not the micro) combined with a Shelter 501 Mk II.

Was happy with the results. with what I know now, I would probably throw in a cartridgeman isolater with it.

happy listening,

Many vintage preamps with phono.....go for a conrad Johnson premier 5 or 9. Classe DR series 5 or 6. Audio research 6B,8MRKII,10 or even the 11. SO many at great prices.

Try again, Schipo. The CJ Premier 5 is a power amp and the Premier 9 is a DAC :-)

Me, I'd go for a Denon DL-103 and an EAR 834P (used) and save half your money. Good luck, Dave

I would try new PSAudio phono stage which can be returned to PSAudio for full refund if you don't like it.I likemine a lot since it is fully balanced, have olume control and lot of gain to run even very low MC cartridges. Also lot of adjustment as far as load.
