It will replace my Dynavector P-75, which I've just put up for auction!!! Very versatile, and quiet, too. Performance exceeds, in my opinion, the new Sutherland P3Hd. Also, since I have a balanced preamplifier, I appreciate the fully balanced output option of the LP 5.3. You should really try one. The mid-range/vocal staging is superb, in my opinion.

P7 turntable. Chapter Audio Preface preamplifier, Nuforce 9SE amplifiers. Proac 2.5 speakers. Musical Fidelity CD player, Musical Fidelity NuVista DAC, Magnum Dynalab 102 Triode FM tuner. Siltech, BPT, and PS Audio cables. Amongst all of the above, my most prized components are the Chapter preamp, which is state of the art in my opinion, and the Magnum Dynalab tuner, with the tube output stage.
