    SC Hi, the 1500 is £2600 inc vat, you get a valve regulated power supply and LCR EQ RIAA, , there is a more expensive stage the H4000 but that is a lot more and soon there will be an entry phono soon. Obviously I would say it but the 1500 is a very good phono, and I can't think of another phono anywhere near it's price that has a similar specification.

    Hi Coops,

    Thanks for the info. I understand you will be at the Hifi show in London. Will it be on show?

    I have had a look at the Allnic website and there are many interesting items on there.

    Pete Hi, Ralph tells me that potentially the cart could be extraordinarly good, but it isn't quite ready, SCIBD Mr park has some interesting designs, the website isn't up to date, the new T-1500 integrated has just been released, there is a new stereo amp, a new pre and an entry level phono, here is the first picture of the integrated,

    Just a poor attempt at humour Mike, although in all seriousness his 300b PSE's that I have here , (sans rectifier ) sound very good, don't ask me how he does it though.
