| SS preamp to give wormth & bloom to Krell KSA amp Second the Rowland Synergy IIi, or a Classe CP-60 if the JRDG is priced too high. You didn't mention a price range. | |
| Which High Output Moving Coil Cartridge The 17D2 has a very low output of 0.23mV. In your price range, I'd recommend the Lyra Helikon, with an output voltage of 0.5mV, it will more than double your output. Thereby making life easier on your phono stage, and real easy to listen to also. ... | |
| balanced is inherently flawed What's the next thing to fail??? : ) SeanYou don't want to know brother. heheCheers,John | |
| Which Tonearm to go for VPI HW-19 III? Yes, it's fairly simple. If you have any questions, VPI has answers too. Great customer service.Regards,John | |

| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase Bryanhod, that's why I'm still married. Some stay together for the children, I stay for the stereo equipment. LOL. | |
| Which Tonearm to go for VPI HW-19 III? Steve,I would deal with VPI directly. I've found that to be a more direct route. As for the Discovery cable, many tonearms come wired with Discovery cable. All VPI JMW arms are wired with Discovery, as are the Wheaton arms (Tri-Planar). There are ... | |
| Which Tonearm to go for VPI HW-19 III? I agree with Scott and Ed, the mk IV upgrade is well worth it. If you want to take it further, you can add the Stand Alone Motor Assembly (SAMA) and Synchronous Drive System (SDS). That takes the HW-19 concept about as far as it can go, which is p... | |
| Are the performance of separates worth the price? I think you'll find the law of diminishing returns are in order. You may pay 45% more, but you won't get a 45% improvement in sound. It gets very expensive trying to chase that last 5% or so of sonic nirvana. Is it worth it? That all depends on wh... | |
| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase maryedw@hotmail.com, we didn't ask because we KNOW about womens tricks. Hell, she probably knows my tricks too. She never discusses money on her purchases either. If I say "Hey, is that a new outfit/dress/whatever", I expect one of two responses. ... | |

Check out these reviews at Stereophile.Rega P25VPI ScoutI would save a few bucks by buyin the 'table/arm used, but I highly recommend a new cartridge.

| Classic Rock Listener - Help me build my system Dave,I just pulled it up, it's sold. It was a Rega P25 w/ RB-600 arm for $650. Great inexpensive table for beginners. Great price too.John | |
| Special "phono cables" from turntable to phonostag I agree that Transparent networks cables are not the best for phono applications. I had a pair of Transparent Reference MC Phono cables, and found they were easily bested by a pair of Discovery Essence for less money. I also tried the XLO Signatur... | |
