| What CDP to replace my AA Prima ? I guess that is a really old Prima! Is it even one of the 24/192 machines? | |
| Grado Reference vs Benz Glider and H2 Either the Glider or the H2 will work on a Rega arm. I've heard them both in the same set-up and the H2 is a superior cartridge. Timbre and detail is fabulous and noticeably better than with the Glider (which is no "slouch" itself!). | |
