Rega RP6 VTA issue
Wolf, There is a demo PRO-JECT - XTENSION 10 on Audiogon. I have seen and heard this turntable. I think it is a real bargain especially as a demo. No relationship to seller. 
Great Tube/SS Amp for Proac D40R ?

Project Xtension 12 or VPI Classic 3

Preamp for Art Jota
How about an Art Audio Alana? There is one for sale on Audiogon now. No relationship with the seller, but I own one and like it.
