    Default intro

    Just wanted to say hi to the community- Have been into audio sine I was 12, some 40 years now. Recently refurbed a vintage Micro Seiki BL-51 mated with an Acos Lustre GST-1 with a Denon 103R. I think it was a nice combo and have been growing my record collection bit by bit. I am presently looking for a new phono stage with enough gain to drive the Denon's .25 output. While I would love a tube stage, I just dont see one having enough gain to support the low output.

    Hi Phil Welcome to AoS. Seiki stuff is highly regarded as is the Denon cart. Plenty here use a valve stage to drive them too. Our own Firebottle, s one will as will plenty more so fear not.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Hello Phil. Welcome to AOS.

    You should be able to find a tube phono stage to suit the Denon MC. Why not try starting a thread in the Analogue Arts section and ask what others have used.

    There's a lot going on here, so feel free to join in the chat. The members are friendly.


    Enjoy the forum,
    Geoff.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
