What other speakers would you consider for this ..
I suspect since the system sounds good with analog...your probably best served to change your digital to something like a Jolida 100 with level 1 mod.(Big bang for the buck player) It supposed to sound very analog like and smooth. Your system with...

Another great re-issue is Ian & Sylvia's "Four Strong Winds" on the famous Vanguard label. This in one where the original Vanguard was not as good as some of the others from that time, however, the re-issue is stunning! :) Ken

Divo,Glad you like your MU as much as I..I can't say enough about how excellent a product. Dont want to digress the subject further on this thread, however that may be too late anyway. My recommendation for the MU came from TWL..who was kind enoug... 
B & W 801 model type and amplifiers
I ran my 801 s2's with a Plinius SA 100MkII with modest output of 100W/8ohms and found them satisfactory in my room with my associated Equip. It wasn't until I recently traded up to the SA 250 that the speakers were transformed like no other amp I...

Transformer stepup size
Just to chime in quickly here..I recently added a Bent Audio MU SUT 1:10 ratio(20db gain) for My Dynavector 17d2Mk2..Using a ARC PH3 SE with the fixed 54bd gain. Although the Dyna is now 0.26mV output(up from 0.23) it drove the PH3 SE okay and sou...

6550C vs 6550EH in Audio Research amps
My experience is with a pair of ARC VTM 120 monoblocks that ARC tubed with the Sovtek 6550"B" tube. back in the mid 90's. Later they went to the "C"..but I think for all intents and purposes it may sound quite similar. I tried matched quads of the...

Joe-Your gonna love the upgrade! Buddy of mine just did the same thing and the same cart!(I convinced him..after I got the 17d2 for my Aries!!)Good luck and let us know when your back up!..Ken:) 
Who is your overall favorite guitarist?
Some excellent picks above, I can't agree more with so many listed, especially Clapton back in the day! I also like some of the newer guys who made a wonderful pressence and still have what it takes to get it on....how about, Pat Metheny, Lee Rite... 
Cartridge Recommendation
Kjl,My 2c regarding your wanting to upgrade the cart. would find me agreeing with TWL. I have the Dyna 17d on the Aries/JMW 10 and ARC PH3 SE through a Bent Audio MU step up properly loaded to accomodate the Dyna. I find the Dyna a worthy cart to ...
