review iPhono 2
It takes 700 hours to fully run in.  A $10k phono stage that I had for 2 weeks lost out to the iPhono stage.  Not a big loss but $500 vs $10k ? I did like the cool factor of the pricier unit but it's the sound that matters to me.  
New Technics SL 1200 GAE
The SL 1200 G/GAE is is every bit as good as I and others have stated. It is far beyond anything I've heard from VPI although I've not heard the VPI DD.  Much as I love my Kuzma 4 Point and I'm buying an Airline I prefer the GAE to the Xl DC which...

I see. I noted that this is a 'G' and not a "GAE" so some of the shock I initially felt subsided LOL

atmasphere:May I inquire if you actually drilled into the top 10mil aluminum plate in order to mount that arm? 
New Technics SL 1200 GAE
I have now owned my GAE for about 10 months and it has gotten plenty of play time. I generally play it more often than my Sp10 mk3 as I save the MC Anna's stylus life for hard-core listening sessions whereas it's far less expensive in the long run...

Mantis-toboggan Correction: not "Mouset" but rather "Mouser". Also I meant to write should NOT cost more than a buck.

Raul, obviously you are writing about my tri-amped system.  I'm a degreed elec engineer so I think I can write with some authority when I say the iPhono is 100% solid state.  Concerning tubes and SS, they both can sound wonderful. My Acoustic Real...

Hi enginedr1960:i have a very limited experience with S.U.T's. I have owned the Ortofon ST 80se and used that with my former Graaf GM70 phono stage as that unit was just too noisy to use the MC I out with the MC Anna. It was very a very good sound...

lewm:no no harm no foul :) and in majority of cases I tend to agree with you. About 18 years ago I played with some of tube buffers from Musical Fidelity's XCan series if my memory serves. That did not last long as I found them a bit tubey for my ...

Correction:Please  forgive the typos. I wrote the previous post on my iPhone 5se. I intended to write "I haven't" in the first line of my response to lewms post. 
review iPhono 2
lewm:in in all fairness, I have t dumped my iTube 2 or my iTube. I don't think they make things sound "tubey" at all. At least not when run I classic mode for the I Tube 2 and in zero gain line level mode for the original iTube, which is how I ran... 
review iPhono 2
enginedr1960:Congrats, I think you will like it. I continue to be surprised by that unit. My unit now had about 700 hours on it and it has taken another surprising jump. I have actually now taken the iTube 2 out of the chain as the iPhono 2 with 7...
