Naim, Ruby and ? Phono: Advice Sought
sounds to me like your problem is the opposite of what naim told you. the ruby2 output is likely too low for your phono board. you might try the musical surroungs phenomena. it is very good and quite reasonably priced. 
25,000 for the home theater
sean: actually, it's popcorn. don't need no microwaves neither. geothermal heat and volcanos work yust fine. (oops! almost slipped into a sedondism there.) ;~)
