Turntables
I hope you will love your new turntable. I began with p-24, which I heavily modded over time and learned with. The motor died last spring and I got the new P6 with Ania cart and I love this one as well. I think I will next try my DV cart on it. Bu... 
Best MM?
I second the goldring 1042 suggestion nice price and great sound.

Well geez - it is truly stereo and I sure love those reviews and reviewers, but now I am just not sure this will work for multichannel sacd’s that use the 5.1 channels.  Still - really intriguing receiver.

Thanks, yogiboy! I like musicdirect and have skimmed - looks really great! Now will go scrutinize - thanks! Never thought of Outlaw. And color is refreshing from black. 😁

Thanks Freediver - that is definitely something to think about. This weekend, I am change]ing the crossovers in the Heresy II’s to Bob Criter’s - that should make a great difference for the rears (the La Scala’s have updated ones). I think that is... 
Oppo analog question
Thanks, Kal and Mark. I think I have a certain amount of ignorance here and somehow remember on my older Oppo that the analog connection sounded good, but that was before hdmi. If using the hdmi doesn't compromise the sound quality, and it must no... 
Oppo analog question
Thanks for the comments. I actually use the hdmi - simple and just one cable, but thought 7.1 analog would make my multi- channel sacd's and dvd-a's really shine. I believe after much testing that the analog outs are not working and have read wher... 
Dynavector 20 Xl , Benz Micro Ace SL or Denon
Hi. I have a modded P-25 (VTAF, etc. which allows different heighted carts) and have used Denon 103r, Shelter 501, Goldring 1042mm and Super Elys carts. I installed the Dynavector 20XL a few weeks ago and while the soundstage isn't quite as wide c... 
can wadia i170 house IPod in protective case?
Mine works in an iSkin case just fine. 
Dynavector 20 XL or H for Rega 600 arm
Great to hear, Mofimadness! This is what I hoped to hear. I love the Jolida and do want to use its abilities to the fullest. Probably will pull the trigger on this when my tax refund gets here. Cannot wait! Also, thanks for the clarification, Stan... 
Dynavector 20 XL or H for Rega 600 arm
Thanks Chazz and Stanwal. I think I'll contact Music Direct - great idea since they have both. Stanwal, I haven't thoroughly studied the literature and have really come to just ask here and on audio asylum about settings to load the Jolida. I've h... 
Ortofon 2M Black
Have you gotten any PMs in response or experienced either of these? I too am trying to decide between them. Thanks if there are any comments which compare. I will be using one of them on a modded rega p-25 with jolida phono preamp. 
Emotiva MPS-2 amp and ongoing saga . . .
Thanks, Bob. I couldn't live with this horrible hum and am now resigned to packing it up and sending it back (at great expense and disassembling work). I am definitely only looking into probably a 4bst (can't afford the sst at this point) or other... 
Emotiva MPS-2 amp and ongoing saga . . .
Sounds very reasonable! I am going to turn it back on right now and run it - maybe do some 7 channel stereo to work each module. I appreciate the suggestion.
