Welcome to AOS, Steve.

Nice to see, you have Cyrus CD Player showing on the list. When my CD7Q dies, I might consider the CD8SE. I'm guessing that Cyrus still services the 8SE?

I had an STD myself once..., the cream soon cleared it up though:D Seriously though yeah I had an STD305M with a Mayware Formula IV unipivot arm. It was pretty good IIRC.

I can help you on the phono stage as I am the manufacturer of the Arkless 640P phono stage... google it;)

Hello Steve. Welcome to AOS from me too.

If you want to discuss phono stages, I'd suggest starting a thread in the Analogue Arts section and outlining your ideas. The members are a helpful bunch and will be happy to give opinions.


Enjoy the forum,
Geoff.
