| OPINIONS PLEASE - Phonostage for new Rega P8/Apheta 2 - Sutherland 20/20 or Allnic 1201 I think that Lux phono is more then $2k used? Trust me I like the Manley gear. I’ve owned a half dozen of their components. The SE I think is around $3K today. Trying to stay around $2k but if there was a used one for $2k id sure consider it. I th... | |
| OPINIONS PLEASE - Phonostage for new Rega P8/Apheta 2 - Sutherland 20/20 or Allnic 1201 waltersalasthanks - the 1201 has the uplift gain trannys but they say they are good ones used in the more expensive ones.

| OPINIONS PLEASE - Phonostage for new Rega P8/Apheta 2 - Sutherland 20/20 or Allnic 1201 Yes that has been part of my thinking.I was kicking around the Whest PS.30RDT Special Edition for that very reason as it has discrete bipolar transistor stage but it is $750 more than I want to spend and I care more about sound. Today opamps are... | |

| Rega Apheta 2....Asking Price ? It sure is a popular cart with the Rega folk. None Rega folk maybe not but it's an excellent cart and there are a lot of Rega folk out there and it is so worth the $1000 even to just keep. | |

The Pass Labs X350.5 and X250.8 were much - much better IMO. Not even close. No I am sure their newer models are better and I really love the Simaudio bran... | |

The 10 to 1 match is not covered here but it is close enough to be able to try (maybe) if the 2500ohm doesn't rise real high at other frequencies ... | |
| PLEASE match Advice Pass Labs X350.5 (20k) to Hovland HP-100 (2500ohms) Miss-match ??? So the the point with a tube preamp with a cathode follower is they will typically (nothing is always) have a higher output impedance or one that rises quickly and/or both typically and this will cause a poor impedance match with a said matching ... | |
