VPI Aries with JMW-10 need help

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.

Sorry about using the wrong number prefix for Conrad Johnson it would be the PV 5 or PV 9. Thank you for the correction.

Clearaudio Virtuoso Mk2 Wood body + Graham Slee Era Gold. No issues and done deal, a very very very nice combination.
