Familiar with Pro-Ject Phono RS line stage anyone?
Totally agree, the Pro-ject RS is an amazing phonostage which can show any phonostage even costing $10k a thing or two to improve. The only achilles heel of the RS is the wall wart power supply. That needs to go for such a phenomenal phono unit. E... 
Input sensitivity, Gain and Preamp matching
Thanks everyone for responding on this one.My source is mostly analog. A Naim Superline phonostage. I am sure it puts out around 3 volts because my cartridge has an output of 0.5 mv fed into full MC gain of the phonostage.My speakers are Tannoy Tu...

80 posts latter, we have the answer :-)Thank you so very much Charles! 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Teruterubozo, thanks for a good post. I read somewhere that the Elrog 300b produces 20% less power. Did you hear that effect ? Did you hear any kind of dynamic compression when you go as loud with the Elrog as you would go with Takatsuki ? 
Isolation platform - Gingko vs Mapleshade
I have the Gingko (though I do not use it a lot). It definitely gets a few things right. For a non suspended TT like Aries it will do the tricks that a suspension does, meaning a very black ground and airy clean imaging. Thankfully it doesnt screw...

Trafomatic Audio Reference 300B monos
They are not chinese stuff. I have seen and heard a few of their products and they are very good. Sasa Cokic wounds his own transformers and is quite well known in the European audio industry. His iron is used by some well known European triode am... 
Solid core phono interconnect - Recommend Please
Thanks guys, I will check out with Audio Origami and Herron. In fact I think it may not be a bad idea to get a cable made out of Cardas tonearm cable which is one of the upgrades suggested for Rega tonearms.Moonglum, I have never owned a TW but ha... 
LAMM2.1 with Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Speakers
Analogluvr, you are not the only one who has had transformer failure on Sophia amps. There are many more, just check out on Google. Sophia is not very ethical in the way they hide their flaws.

Trafomatic anyone ? 
Solid core phono interconnect - Recommend Please
zd542, sorry I did not mention that I already use a Supercap power supply with my Naim Superline phonostage. All Naim phonostages need an external psu to boot, they do not have any power supply internally.Having said that, which particular AQ IC w...

Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
Hi Charles, yes I do get your drift. What is interesting though is Jack Roberts uses a Lowther based Single driver speakers which has a sensitivity of 102db. That speaker probably one of the most ideal candidate for SET which Jack was already usin...
