    SET amp owners thread

    Pvanne. Not felt the need to try anything different yet. That will come I suspect, but I'm still learning what my Vosnee Romanee can do. When I have a handle on that, I may try a few then.

    SET amp owners thread

    Great system. I have some idea of how it might sound ; I have the same Cortese 300B , with a Vosnee-Romanee pre. I suspect you're quite content :)

    Audiograil plinth

    Do any of the UK members have any experience as yet with the audio grail plinth for the Garrard 301/401? Or has it been out for too short a time? Regards Kevin
