The break in period is for real ! It's amazing how much the sound changes as it gets some time on it..... 
Best SS amp choice for Zu Omen
The  Rogue Audio Sphinx V2 Integrated as has been mentioned is well worth the extra couple of dollars.Some feel that the phono stage alone is worth the price !Will have plenty of head room for your Zu`s no doubt. 
Serious Passive Preamp question
Love my passive...Checks all the right boxes :-)  
Duelund DCA16GA
@grannyring ... I`m using a 300 Watt per Chanel SS amp.My speakers are Revel F52`s the published specs show an efficiency rating of 87.5 db6.5 Ohm nominal 3.5 Min @ 373hzI was using a 6Ft length of cable run using the Duelund. The MIT`s are  8 Ft... 
Duelund DCA16GA
@slaw...Maybe maybe not as to break in, but I don`t see a 200% improvement down the road with them either. 
Duelund DCA16GA
I gave them a shot but for MY setup it was a No-Go.I let them 'burn in' for about 12 Hrs. The very first thing I noticed was the bass didn`t have the oomph/weight that I`m used to.They weren`t as revealing as my old cables either and didn`t have t... 
Duelund DCA16GA
grannyring...I`m actually thinking that maybe the 16ga is a better fit for my speakers.With the bass handled by 3- 6.5" woofers in each speaker I wonder if the thinner (16GA) would help in not over dampening them for a little fuller bass.Just a ... 
Duelund DCA16GA
I hooked up the Duelund DCA 16 GA last night and listened to a couple LP`s.Today I put a CD on repeat and have been playing the system at a very low volume.Should I be concerned about pushing my 300 Watt amp using these cables into my Revel speake... 
Duelund DCA16GA
I`ve decided to give the Duelund 16 GA a try. I ordered 8 meters of it on Sept 11 and it`s supposed to be here this Tuesday the 18th.Single run from my amp to Revel F52`s...replacing (hopefully) my MIT Music Hose 750`s that I`ve been using for qui... 
Best TT under $1k
Awhile back, I was thinking about either selling my upgraded Rega P5 or continue to add mods to it and even posted a thread here on AudiogoN asking opinions/suggestions on which way to go.I`ve added a number of upgrades since and I`m no longer loo... 
Best TT under $1k
If you can find a nice clean Rega like a early P3 for a good price like $450 or so, then you can get your foot in the door. Then you can shop all the various upgrades that are out there.Each upgrade can make for a nice improvement and can make it ...

Best Cartridge for $1000-$1350?
Have a look at the Dynavector 17D3 
Mod my Rega P5 OR...time to move on ??
UPDATE....I added an SRM Silent Base a few months back and from getting the motor detached from the plinth and using the stainless 'cones' there was a nice drop in noise. I`d guess about 30% of what the Groovetracer subplatter did in that regard.... 
Best Speaker cable in the $400.00-$500.00 range for 2 meters
Ok...now I`m wondering if the Duelund wire would be an improvement over the MIT 750 Music Hose that I`ve been using for the last 15 years or more ???
