Graham Slee GSP Era Gold Mk. V - anyone have it???
I'm using the Granite Audio phono stage burn-in CD, a terrific product. Why didn't somebody think of this earlier? Another product that is badly needed is a burn-in LP, an LP that repeats itself automatically. For cartridges and tonearm cables. I ...

I picked up a Dynavector last week, just couldn't resist at the price. It's breaking in, but sounds very promising. Comparing it to an EAR 834 and to my Benz PP-1.

That's a great piece. Acid Classical, IMO. 
Stereophile confirms new gear is getting worse....

Graham Slee GSP Era Gold Mk. V - anyone have it???
How much gain does the unit have (can't find that anywhere)? I'm curious to know if most of you happy owners are using MC cartridges and, if so, are you using a step up? Because the basic unit is a fixed 47k load. The Elevator (which more than dou...

I've had good luck with the Shunyata Taipan (the original version).When you're ready, try Siemens Gold Pin 7388 tubes, if you can find them. But really, you don't need any of this stuff, especially if you are saying WOW! with the stock unit. It's ...
