If better sound is your goal, say goodbye to Emotiva.
Upgrading my table - your thoughts...
I have narrowed my choice down to the Rega RP8 with the Apheta 2 MC, Micro Seiki DD40 or the Kenwood KP-9010 with a Micro Benz SL 0.4 MC.
Kenwood and Rega RP8 will be approximately $1500 after tax. The micro will be $1000.
My set up:
Processor: Emotiva RMC -1L
Power Amp: Emotiva XPA GEN 3
Phone PreAmp: Sutherland 20/20
Front end speakers: Goldenear Triton 1
I currently have a Sony PS-X70 turntable with that Micro Benz SL cart.
Looking to make a step up as I love my analog listening sessions. I want this to be my end table.
Goldenear very neutral sounding. Had Emotiva phono pre amp... bright as heck... I just got the Sutherland 20/20, mellowed out highs and punchy clean and tightened the bass.
If I get the Rega I have the opportunity to get the Aria, would you keep the 20/20 or sell 20/20 and go with Aria?
