WndrBr3d Full Audioholic Apr 19, 2005 286 0 18 Dallas, TX Mar 26, 2008 #1 My recent project has been setting up a game/entertainment room in our house. This included a darts board, Mortal Kombat 2 arcade machine and also setting up my neglected Stanton Turntable. Well... I honestly had nowhere to put my turntable and nothing to power it! I was able to find the $15 cheap pre-amp I picked up off eBay five+ years ago and I used my spare Harman/Kardon AVR7300 to power the two Infinity Speakers (talk about using a cannon to kill a fly) I decided to give myself a proper vinyl listening system. I upgraded to: - Jolida JD 202A Tube Amplifier (40wpc to 8ohms) - Pro-Ject Tube Box II Phono Preamplifier It sounds -amazing-! I have several Ella and Duke Ellington LP's from the 60's that makes it sound like there's a concert in my house. Seriously amazing stuff. My first venture into the wide world of tube audio has knocked my socks off! Pictures attached! Attachments amp1.jpg 83.6 KB · Views: 1,663 turntable1.jpg 99.8 KB · Views: 2,275
