..... new amp for ultra

[Yooy257]

I have had an Ultra for two weeks now and was also searching for a suitable amplifier. It turns out that here in the Netherlands a company had the idea to make a suitable amplifier for the Ultra and it was introduced last week. I ordered it immediately and expect to receive it at the end of this week.

Hi M
Yes Delphi MK 2 / FR 64 Black ( Ltd Ed ) bought new in 1983 ( Toronto )
Cartridge is a Denon 103 D ( Le Son modified, Boron Cantilever - Line Contact Stylus ) sounds glorious.

Finally got round to listen to some Vinyl, blimey.
Played many tunes all sounded great.
Played Robert Plant, Tin Pan Valley - when he goes “ Like This “ I nearly jumped out of my chair.
So yes seriously impressed with this little MXW 70 / Ultra combo.

No, a Tisbury Domino Phono, another absolute bargain.
MC stage on Ultra noisy and not that good.

Maybe it’s my old ears but I use the ultra one with my Rega planar 1 and I think it’s ok

Not saying it’s bad, it does the job, you using MM or MC ?
My Oracle / FR 64 / Denon 103, sounds way better through the Domino.

MM and my deck and cartridge are not the best but are entry level
And am using 2 Sonos 5s atm

Ultra is perfect then
If you want a cartridge upgrade then I would seriously recommend a Goldring E3, once again a great bargain, I used mine while waiting for Denon to be modified, very impressed by it.

I bought a Rega Planar 3 in 1977 from Raleigh Hi Fi.
So so long ago.

Back in the dim and distant past goldring were my go to cartridge tbh but now my music collection is on cd and digital these days
However I do enjoy a good vinyl and single malt evening
I don’t want to go down the rabbit hole of buying gear again though, but as Sonos has pushed me back into the separates world we will see what happens
The Fosi Za3 I bought may be ok or not when I get my speakers next week we shall see what occurs

Treat yourself, you won’t regret it goes very well with a Single Malt, Laphroaig ?
Sure ZA3 will be fine.
Was it Wharfdales you are going for ?

At the moment I am thinking of a pair of Q acoustic 3030i as I have got my old Boston subwoofer working
But it is an ongoing process I may even get a second Za3 and monoblock them or if I don’t like it save for the mxn70 either way I will enjoy the journey
