Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:

My system is Anthem TLP-1 pre amp Anthem MCA 2 Poweramp NAD PP 1 phono stage Denon DP 60 L turntable Benz Micro MC20E2 MC cartrage Arcam CD 72 CD player.

For the money none

Review 3 of 15

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
A decent piece of equipment especially for the low price. Works best by being not grounded. No hum, no hiss, no hassle. Sound is in the good to very good category, not in the excellent range. I have it hooked up to a NAD 118 to transfer old vinyl to minidisc. WOrks out just fine

Strengths:
Value for dollar

Weaknesses:
Lacs the certain sweet top, but hey it's only 99 bucks

Review 5 of 15

Price Paid:  $130.00 from Ghijsens Hasselt

Summary:
I am not too happy with the NAD PP-1 phono pre amp. The reason? I just don''t like the sound... The rest of my set is much better (more open, more detailed) and the NAD is just the weakest link. I bought it at the time, because I renewed everything at once and I ran out of my budget... the NAD was about the only thing I could afford at that time. It will certainly be replaced as soon as I can... But... meanwhile I still listen to it; at it is not completely bad... so if you are just a casual LP listener, this will be perfect for you. But don''t expect heaven from your TurnTable with this baby.

Strengths:
It is cheap and doesn''t sound bad.

Weaknesses:
It does not sweep you off your feet...

Marantz MA-9S2 Reference Series Power Amplifiers Review

Marantz MA-9S2 Power AmplifierThe list above has one tenet that I continue to hold true: high powered amplifiers are necessary to reproduce the full dynamic range of music with most speakers. This became apparent when I changed from the 100 Watt per channel Bella Extreme 100 to the 250 Watt.....

Lowther’s DX-65 driver in the Teresonic Magus XR Review

A new driver from Lowther is real news. A new five inch driver is even rarer news, so it was with great anticipation that I waited on this pair of speakers to arrive.

Aune Mini Headphone DAC User Review

The unit arrived from China well packed and everything seem to be in place. No external abuse by the carriers. The only problem was the power supply it came with. The box came with a cheap step-down converter.

Aural Symphonics Chrono b2 balanced interconnects Review

The Aural Symphonics Chrono b2 is more a study in contrasts than most cables. Chrono b2 refers to balanced version 2.
