Cartridges have such a profound effect on the end sound that I really think you need to try a few and find what suits you and your system. Maybe based on suggestions it might be worth trying a few decent s/h carts before splashing out. Personally, I like the smoothness of the Nag sound and keep...

Are you are using th standard PSU1 power supply with your Accession? Just a thought before going for a replacement phono stage have you tried the higher spec Enigma power supply? Some reports say there can be a noticeable improvement. Might be worth a call to John C and arrange a trial.

Installed a 'new to me' Innuos Zen Mini mk3 with LPSU to replace a Lindemann Limetree Bridge. A sideways move in sound quality but much better control app.

As I understand, Yahoo auctions aren't available directly but can be accessed via these services like Aleado, or others. It proved easy to use Aleado, for me, with excellent service.

I've bought some Technics cartridges and parts through Aleado at very good prices compared to eBay. I found the service to be very reliable and rapid to respond to email questions. There are a few issues, it's necessary to deposit Yen into an Aleado account prior to bidding, sufficient to cover...

I have my P3ESRXDs set up with a pair of REL t5x in a small room and for me these sound superb. However, getting the subs tuned with the P3s was a real pain. Having tried all the REL and YouTube methods, I added a minidsp for the subs. Using measurement from REL to prepare dsp settings proved...

Some years ago when trying to remove 'boominess' from my system which used MA Gold 50 speakers, I used the supplied foam bungs. Didn't like the resulting sound which seemed to muffle some frequencies. I gave up on them and tried other workarounds before starting to understand room effects...

Does anyone use a Decca London Gold /Super Gold with their 1200G? I normally use either classic Technics EPC-205C (mkII, III or IV) alternatively a Victor U-2e, which I actually prefer to the Technics. Having read about the dynamics of the Gold/Super Gold, I'd like to listen for myself. I prefer...

I finally got my P3ESRXDs plus REL Tx5s working really well about three months ago. I had moved to the Harbeths after having serious problems with booming bass from MA Gold 50s in my little (2.3x3.4m) listening room. I thought the problem came from the rear porting of the MAs. This proved...

The Graham Slee Proprius monoblocks might give you what you are looking for, excellent sq., quality build and reliability. Home trials are offered so there is a no risk option to try.

Longshot, but I'm hoping I can find some backup original stylus for these two - an E77 or P77 would be nice. Expert Stylus Service sells new stylus for the A&R P77

I spent months trying to get my pair of REL subs properly integrated with Harbetb P3s, using the REL recommendations and others. Just couldn't get it right by ear. Invested in a Umik mic and learning how to use REW to set up a Minidsp. This gave immediately satisfying results. I'd fully...

Invest time to learn REW (free) software and make measurements of your system. OK might cost £50 for a second hand Umik mic but be ready for the rabbit hole it takes you down. The first measurements may show outstanding bad response with big variations. Then research speaker placement to remove...

If you have a look at the Antimode 8033s II details it is a mono processor and the two outputs are provided out of phase.

If you are wanting to integrate your subs and improve the bass response, then a Minidsp 2x4hd between the amplifier sub out and the powered subs would work. Setting up the Minidsp requires measurements using a supplied Umik mic and REW software (free) on a pc. The pc usb output must be fed...
