DIY Question: Well Tempered Bearing Cup Upgrade
Do not even try to mix the two.....either find someone very knowledgeable about the Classic and get it back up to speed, or go with the inferior Clearaudio....once the Classic is corrected, it will easily outperform the other....you might try the ... 
Rega Brio R bright???
You have to understand something.....what you are describing with some of these amps is only when you are trying to combine them with the Dynaudios....if you heard them with other brands of speakers you might be surprised....why not go for what Dy... 
Rega Brio R bright???
I just have to speak up here....the BRIO R IS NOT BRIGHT! I have no idea what you are doing to it, but I've heard it with various speakers, Regas, Totems, Harbeths, and it is not bright......and I'd also say it is lunacy to pair it with Magnepans,...

Harbeths and Tube Amps
The ARC vsi60 is great with the 7's. For less money the Naim Nait 5 is amazing.Disagree with using Leben. Boring. Pair the Leben 600 with Harbeth 5's, that's another story. Wonderful. All about the synergy.

Almost Time to Replace My DV-20xl
Oh me. Not to offend anyone involved, but, not all dealers are experts at setup, whether they've been doing it for 1 or 30.Your last sentence is fine for you- but not for a lot of us.Like saying you should start off with a yugo till you've driven ... 
Almost Time to Replace My DV-20xl
Very fair response. I would only say, although that ship has obviously sailed for you, is that you were not getting proper setup. I know that will set off more red flags for you, but that's the truth.I'm glad you found something that works for you... 
Almost Time to Replace My DV-20xl
Hi jdFirst off, no spouting. I've just never experienced what you have with stated cartridges. Second, I think you're giving the initial OP some very biased and not well founded advice. If you could hear his arm together with the cartridges he's a...
