    What's wrong with what you have?
    Tear down these walls; Cut the ties that held me
    Crying out at the top of my voice; Tell me now if you can hear me

    Dave i thought the densen was ok until i tried a jasmine from china it sounded so much better in every way the thing is i would have to import it so that is why i was asking about the microgroove as it gets good reviews

    I had a dp01 that I wasn't that impressed with - it did a decent enough job just not as good as a P75 that I had before. I went and tracked down another P75

    I have used a DP-04 and at the moment IŽm using a Mricrogroove Plus X.

    The DP-04 is an extraordinary phono stage and a best buy in the 1000,-€-class and above. I have tried many phono stages in this price range, e.g. Heed, Sonneteer, Linn, Musical Fidelity, Trigon, GCPH, Aqvox etc.. In my ears the DP-04 was the best as well as better then a Klyne and very close to an internal phono stage of a DNM 3C Six

    In my ears the Plus X is better but more expensive as well, but if someone is looking at the 1000,-€ class there is no better choice then a DP-04.
