Wharfdale's Denton Anniverary spker Any 3 way speaker of similar sound quality?? .
To mesch,   Thank you.  I have only put a few hours on CJ 14L SE pre-amp but am impressed by the improvements in sound quality  . Today I switched back to the Golden Ear Technology 's model 7 from the Denton 80's.  The pre-amp seemed to tame the h... 
XLR to RCA interconnect. Does mixed connectors provide less noise compared RCA to RCA?
Almarg, I have to check the back of the CD player, or I should have checked the manual first before responding  However, I will check with Ayre tomorrow .  Thanks again, and to all who have responded with sound advice. and comments.  SJ       
XLR to RCA interconnect. Does mixed connectors provide less noise compared RCA to RCA?
Thank you to all who responded. I wish I had relatives who were as courteous.Nevertheless, I need to  study each response.BTW, there is a toggle switch on the back of  the Ayre CD player that offers either RCA or XLR  connectors.  More than likely...

To noromance.....Don't  intend to buy new cables. Though, I will check out your suggestionBTW,  I actually auditioned a pair of Epos 12i  and was very impressed with their sound. It did sound like real music However, that was 11 years ago. Occasio... 
Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100
Ah, noromance. It is not my fault that the choices I listed are prepackage the Ortofon 2M Blue cartridge.  It is even worst that VPI has prepacked the Ortofon 2M Red  with  Traveler and Scout II  or did a few years ago. Does that make any sense?? ...

To Mofi madness and varyat  thanks for the information. Unfortunately, the Lounge Audio phono pre-amp is only MM. I am not sure it could do high output  MC's like Sumiko BP-2 or Dynavector 10X5  But I will check with them. The Muiscal Paradise  ph...

To 2channel8  That is what I thought when I ask the question, that is, just looking  for information about the Denons not a mini lecture..  I don't have the money or time to buy and sell cartridges to see which works best In addition, I don't want...

What is the difference in sound between the Denon 103 and the Denon 103R??  Is it the type of stylus shape?? or better sound quality. Th Denon's MC's  also have notoriously low output... like .030. Even the DL-110 MM  is only 2.0 mV which is low c...

To Mofimadness, have you heard the MP-1P  sold by Musical Paradise???. Their shipping cost is off the scale for such a small box. Also, $499 is hardly bargain basement.  The pre-amp interior circuits and wiring look clean, but who makes this produ...

Bairdz....  Boofer is correct about the higher level of the 2Xperience and the pricing.Not to highjack your thread I just want to mention to Boofer that I have not made a decision on the turntable, however, there is a Rega RP6 with their cartridge...
