I swapped a few things out this weekend. The speakers are PSB Imagine Minis - VERY small but not Bose
- great imaging and bass from a tiny speaker (see sharpie as reference in the pic). I sold Cuz' Denon and added a Rega RP1 with the performance pack (swaps the belt for a better one and adds a Rega Bias 2 cart instead of the basic Ortofon and a wool mat). This table is all about performance - nothing fancy about the looks, they put all engineering money into the arm and platter design. Sounds pretty darn good for an entry level TT. Aso added a Music Fidelity VLP-S phono stage, and AudioAdvisor threw in a Pangea P-100 upgraded power supply.
I tested a Vincent Audio SV400 integrated also from Audio Advisor. Wow. As in wow how inferior it sounded to the Sunfire combo, not to mention the Carver C-1 (what a kick-ass pre). Not experimenting with that brand any more in the near future. Interestingly, I hooked up the NAD 730 receiver that Klaus sold me (30 watts per channel) and it sounds AMAZING with the Minis - like good enough to not need the Sunfire 300 x 2 - did not expect that. Those are some good NAD watts.
