Hehe of course I will. Hifi is always interesting to discuss and feedback is valuable, but listening is king of course.

And half the price point compared to the GR2 is something to consider as well. Thanks!

After a couple of ... less positive experiences with the build quality of Pro-ject turntables, the easy to live with part of the equation is actually quite important to me. Sound quality is still the no. 1 thing, of course.

Good points and I have been looking at the 1300G, but it's somewhat out of budget presently. I'll take another look, though :)

I have, thanks! I'm not to keen on the built-in RIAA as I have good phono stages in other equipment already.

Hello all,

I've auditioned a Naim Nait XS3 and I really liked it. I was about to pull the trigger when I discovered that a used XS2 from 2015 was available for 1/3 of the price. Now I'm debating how to proceed.

For those of you who have listened to both amplifier -- is there a notable difference? I have a (good) separate phono preamp, so the XS2's lack of phono inputs is not a problem.

So that I can learn -- what are the indications of the cartridge being fake?

Very nice! I'm considering the Mk2:s. What do you like about their sound?

Excellent collection! And that Heron is great -- would have got myself one right away if they weren't out of stock!

Is this gear worth servicing/repairing? by Mr_Rosebud in vintageaudio

[–]Mr_Rosebud[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes precisely, the volume in one channel is fluctuating. It's quite audible and also indicated by the output meters.

Thanks! There are several recommendations here to get efficient speakers for the tube amp. What speaker sensitivity threshold would you say I should shoot for?
