dynavector p75

had one been around for $200, there was i time i might have leaped for that item. i am not in need at present.

the other choices you list are good as would be the jolida and clearaudio units and i would be pretty sure the vincent should be included in consideration.
Tommy,

I would agree with you, but to be honest it was a superficial decision.

After getting back from New York and reading this thread, I hate to say that I chose the Micro over the Dyna based on looks. Having no chance to demo both and realizing that they both had caveats but also great reviews, I chose the Micro because it matched the rest of my system. Hey!! ya gotta look at half the time! But really your right Tommy: it is the sound first and looks second.

The Dyna was the Mark 1 not the Mark 2 and the Micro Basic I got for $250.

I really like the sound of the Micro!! Very transparent with a huge soundstage and great seperation of instruments, which is its leading attribute. But what really sells me is the truth of timber which is what I hope I would get and what the reviews have said.

Here's some pics of the Micro:



I have also finally gotten to a settling point with my system, after purchasing a new integrated, dac, and turntable. In all I replaced everything as it turns out! It just happened; I got lucky with a string of deals and sales and bam! I realized I am done for awhile on upgrading my system.

Here's some pics of my final mid-fi system. It's not high end but it will do:



Micro Seiki DD-40 and the Micro Basic



Exposure 2010s



PS AUDIO DLlll



Sony DVP-S7700 as transport



I might be looking for a nice vintage tuner, but it is not a huge priority now. Any suggestions?
