...I can dream!!
Using my VII Pre with a Rothwell 'Headspace'......
Does anyone here use Exposure amplifiers with an external phono preamp from another manufacturer?
Did you compare to the exposure xm3 or the optional phono cards? I have the MM phono card in my 3010S2D and it’s very good, however at some point I will change to MC so Aria, xm3, internal and potentially gold note could be optionsI have a 3010S2 preamp and use it with a Rega Aria Mk3. Works brilliantly with the P6/Ania (as you'd hope and expect!).

Aria for me too, into the 3010s2d, sounds great to me with both MM and MC. I haven’t compared it to a lot else though: an Edwards MC3 and the internal MM board. Preferred Aria to both on balance, mostly for its slightly fuller-bodied sound.Did you compare to the exposure xm3 or the optional phono cards?

Yep have used 21/19/7 into 18 Super with Arkless 640. Sounds lovely, will compare in a few days with the MC setting on the 7.Does anyone here use Exposure amplifiers with an external phono preamp from another manufacturer?

First choice Quad ESL63 with occasional breaks for KEF104/2sNice.
Speakers?
what model exposure common with 12s/160?The exposure has more in common with the older naim (12s/160 era) which I prefer.
I haven't done a direct comparison but have heard both in my system at different times and now have the XM3 which I'd say is better and gives you more flexibility.Did you compare to the exposure xm3 or the optional phono cards?

I went from Naim 42.5, Snaps, 140 to Exposure 15 and felt the Exposure was much better. LP12/Ittok/Troika and Quad ESL speakers at the time.does anyone compared exposure vii, viii with naim 72/140? which sound better?
...........XIV pre IX psu 3x IV dual reg (late model) into NAIM NBL (snaxo teddycap) old main system now second system.

Which iv standard or xviii super sound better?In 1983 I stumbled across Exposure amps when I wasn't even looking for anything new to try.
I was most likely heading down a QUAD, Meridian or NAIM path from my humble A&R A60 and a helpful Exeter dealer who pushed NAIM big time.
A faulty VII pre VI psu and VIII amp sounded so good that with free parts from Exposure (selector and volume pot) and other fuses/bits and bobs they really sang my tune.
I was using LP12 Itok Asak DC and HB1 'speakers also a friends B&O turntable and highly regarded KEF 'speakers were tried to compare.
Over the ensuing years I have had extended periods with everything from IV (multiple types) through to XXI (all the Roman numeral products) and have kept and use:
XIV pre IX psu XVI dual mono into Ovator 600 for my main system. Exposure XM7 used/tried as digital extender and headphone use.
XIV pre IX psu 3x IV dual reg (late model) into NAIM NBL (snaxo teddycap) old main system now second system.
AV system work in progress again: IX psu 2x V active crossovers 4x IV dual reg NAIM SBL front and rear. Trying IV single (non-reg with psu) active/passive into NAIM IBL as sides and Naim SBL center.
Kept as spares or to change out in the above systems various:
XI pre, XII psu, XVIII super stereo, XVIII super mono as to good to let go and for a study or bedroom system in the future maybe!
I have heard other amplifiers from valve to solid state but still remain with Exposure.
