Continuing my thinking around phono preampflication, I am starting to ask myself the question of whether it is worth bringing an upgrade forward and getting a pre-amplifier with a phono stage. Say, instead of the EAR 324 phono stage with a separate integrated amp or preamp/power amp, the EAR 912/509s for example.
But seriously, at this level, are there any advantages in going for a separate phono preamp? or going for a preamp with integrated phono MM/MC inputs?

I turned off the Zalman Reserator of my computer and I got silkier sound. I turned it back on and it sounded harsher and edgier. At first I didn't believe it, but then I tried it many times and got the same results. This sucks, first it was the harddrives, and now this!

Can anyone else confirm?

Hi there!

I remember reading an article in Sterophile about record stores in New York City (LP records), might have been by mid 2003. I have scrolled all my magazines from 2002 through today and nothing showed up. Or maybe I am counfused about this.

I will be visiting NYC next July, so it would be nice to visit these stores they were taking about.

Thanks in advance for your replies.
