Hi I currently use a BMC MCCI mc only phonostage. Looking for a mc/mm unit with a budget of around $3k new or used. Table is a restored Garrard 301 with Ortofon rs-309d arm/Ortofon silver meister cart + Fidelity Research fr24 arm/Lyra Delos cart. The names which I have currrently : Aesthetix Rhea Allnic 1201 Audio Research PH7
Anyone comapred directly all or two of them and can comment ? Any other name that I should consider ? Thanks in advance to all repliers.
Just an FYI.....I am having my Rhea re-tubed by Andy Bowman. Waiting for the tubes to come in. However, I am happy with the Rhea and expect, with new tubes, to be even more pleased.
Both. From what Andy Bowman at Vintage Tube Services told me there's not much difference between the two sonically. FYI, both the EI's that I lamented over and the first stage Tele's came from VTS.
Hi Sbrown, here is the configuration: for the 12ax7's on V1 & V2 (very important); RCA; for the 12ax7's on the less important V3 & V4 GE; on the very important V5 6922 Sylvania. Hope that helps.
