| Platter for Rega RP3 turntable Huge improvement, much more than the platter upgrade. Lower noise floor, increase speed stability, improves timing, plus you can change speed at the touch of a button. | |
| MMF-7 or VPI Traveler Looks more like a side step to me. That said, DV carts match very well with VPI turntables......and Rega turntables (the new P3 is universally recognized as the #1 choice at this price range). Is the 20X2 L or H output? What phono pre are you usi... | |
| Stand out phono stages Back from a long hiatus,Lewm, to answer your question:Gain for the RCA outputs can be set to 60, 50 or 40dB. Gain will be 6dB higher in each setting if using the XLR outputs (66, 56, or 46dB). There is an input impedance switch tab of 47kohms on t... | |
| Help with Turntable/arm/cart decision The C2200's phono stage provides 40dB of gain. The phono sensitivity is given as 4.4mV for 2.5V output at 1kHz.The DV 10X5 would be a perfect match (Output Voltage 2.5mV at 1KHz, 5cm/sec.) for the C2200 phono stage as it should sound very neutral.... | |

| Bookshelf speakers for $500ish I would be very cautious to spend that much money on a pair of speakers that will be placed 2-3 inches from the wall. Speakers, specially bookshelf, are extremely susceptible to placement. Your Marantz is a somewhat decent receiver with a power ou... | |
| Bookshelf speakers for $500ish The Supreme Pluses add more "punch and snap" and are better suited for Jazz.The RS1s add more "realism and clarity" and are better suited for classical/full scale orchestra.I really enjoy the piano/string notes coming out of the Supreme Pluses on ... | |

| Favorite phono stage in the $500-$800 range? Second the DV P-75. Buy one on the used market for $400.00 and don't look back unless you're willing to spend $999.00 for the Pro-ject Phono Box RS. | |
| Used Floor Standers for around $1k GoldenEar Triton 7 will fill your room with ease and should fit your budget on the used market. | |

| Silverline Minuet "Supreme" Hard to beat on a small room, regardless of price range. | |
| which would you buy? I own the GE 7s, keepers for life.Very few speakers can give u a taste of HiFi for so little money.Good enough to compete with $$$$ speakers.MHO. | |
| Back to Square One If you could stretch your budget to about $500.00, a used pair of GoldenEar Aon 2s would be ideal for your needs.Another suggestion would be a used pair of the amazing Silverline Minuet Supreme Pluses.Both the Diamond 10.1 and the SP-BS21s or 22s ... |
