| Seeking a Tube preamplifier Stereophile class ratings hold little to no value. A Schitt Freya + would add to the noise floor and would lack synergy over the current Bryston BP 19. ARC/VTL and VAC is where I would start if trying too synergistically match a vacuum tube preamp... | |
| Phasemation MC @inca21 I'm always hesitant to judge/comment on a single component due to a system needs to be judged as a sum of parts(components)not an individual component. Back to the Phasemation PP 200, it is an engaging cartridge due to a slightly forward... | |
| Phasemation MC I own a PP200 on a Rega P9/RB1000 with an Allnic H-1200 phono preamp using Nordost Heimdall 2 interconnects. Previously had a Goldring Legacy on the same set up. Clarity with a larger and more open(airy) forward soundstage were the most obvious im... | |

| Mike's Barn. @facten +1 A plethora of "Red Flags" vigorously wave regarding any level of credibility. | |
| To refurbish Peter Gunn modded Maggie's or not? Move on and forward. The 1.7x retails for $5k much better/safer investment than repairs or buying used. | |
| Mike's Barn. To criticize Mike's system and music preferences is adolescent and absurd. | |
| Magico A series vs YG Peaks series and Accuphase Integrated The Magico A5 is a class leading loudspeaker but very amp sensitive. Japanese made amps are generally not known for "Bass Slam" I would try Gryphon/McIntosh or even Krell despite recent company issues. | |
| Need to learn about Audio Research ARC has revealed 6 new modestly priced components. Hopefully they will go back to a cleaner more industrial look and will ditch the ubiquitous meters! | |

| McIntosh C8 (new) vs C26/2700 (used) @andrewmland Have heard the C22 Mk V multiple times and when compared to the C1100 I could not claim the C1100 was better. Also like the more "purist" aspect of the C22 less circuits to get in the way of the music. Paired with the MC 462 you will... | |
| McIntosh C8 (new) vs C26/2700 (used) McIntosh-C22 Mk V is the preamp to purchase! | |
| Luxman E-200 phono stage @chadnliz Welcome back! Hope you will post on a regular basis. | |
| Any opinions on NAD quality? Build/Parts Quality/Aesthetics and Sonics are subpar. Denon/Exposure/Rega and Yamaha produce overall better budget gear. |
