| Help me pick a new turntable The AS NEO turntables come with a 15 year warranty...none better in the industry! I had a custom dust cover made for my Hurricane which complements it quite well. Funny how some people can "opine" about a product without ever hearing it, much les... | |

| Phono preamp suggestions; can I improve upon my Aesthetix Rhea Sig ? Personally. I would stick with the Rhea for a while, at least until the VPI and Van den Hul have broken-in and you have a good feel for the sonics. You may be surprised at how much you enjoy the sound with your new TT and cartridge with the Rhea ... |
