Dec 28, 2011	Audio Technica AT-33PTG vs Denon 103R cartridge AS i recall the Ditton tweeters might not the AT be an ear bleeder?
Dec 28, 2011	Rega RS-3 Sometimes I use 8 watt Eastern Electic MiniMax,sometimes a Sony ES Reciver(for FM) and usually a modded Dynaco PAS 3with a Van Alstine 260 EX .

Dec 25, 2011	Complete newbie needing guidance/purchase advice Why be without?Because you will be without your money spent FOREVER.
Dec 25, 2011	Rega RS-3 No,I did not but had a buddy who switched to Chord Odysseyfrom them and said the Chord was better.I have the Chord too and the DNM is way better.I doubt there is any speaker that doesn't sound good with DNM.
