| Fun Analog Upgrade Challenge Thanks for everyon’s response & interest. The scenario I described above is part hypothetical as my intent was to stimulate discussion on what area might make the greatest improvement in a vinyl playback system. I do have a Rega RP10 with a Ly... | |
| Weak point in this analog system ? You might find the Linto to be a little lean and analytical with the Denon 103? If you're looking for a different sound, why not experiment with a tube phono stage? Perhaps an EAR or a used ARC. | |
