    Which amp/speakers to buy

    stay away from all-in-ones. with this amount better check for second hand equipment, and be sure that the amp has a phone stage built in. If your TT is old maybe you need to change the stylus as well

    New Turntable Hum

    I'm not sure if I'm the right person to help you (due to my poor knowledge of hi-fi systems and TTs) but as I was experiencing similar issues with my Pro-Ject debut carbon esprit dc would be important at first to identify if this hum is a motor hum or grounding noise. So do you hear the hum...

    Looking to upgrade Amp and Speakers

    thank you all for the very valuable advices. As I live in the center of Athens I have the chance to visit may audiophile and hifi stores and try some speakers. In the store where I bought my TT they told me that I can even bring with me my amp if I would like to!

    Looking to upgrade Amp and Speakers

    Thanks for your lights! XTZ soulds like a great option but unfortunatelly I have to place the speakers on a bookshelf and the 93.23 mkII have the bass reflex on the back side (as well as the Dali Zensor 3). I hope to find any of the other 2 (B&W or Q acoustics) in any local store to listen to.

    Looking to upgrade Amp and Speakers

    it may sounds a bit odd but what I know is that the Rega supplier in Greece passed away a couple of years ago and since then no other supplier took it on so now Rega is not any longer in the Greek market! But anyway I appreciate your advice and I may consider to order it online from UK at some point
