Thanks! In reality it looks even better. 

  For the moment the second arm is 12" JELCO (not mounted yet) and I'm planning to upgrade the stock headshell with Acoustical Systems Arché headshell (http://www.arche-headshell.de/the-arché/) As for the cartridge I'm still thinking, but I'd be looking for more down to earth options like...

  Thanks!

  Hi!  The one pictured is Ortofon 2M Black mounted on Audiomods tonearm (both sold now). I also used Ortofon MC Windfeld, great cartridge in every respect for any type of music jazz, blues, rock, vocals. I can't compare it much with other turntables in the same price range, except for SME 10...

This black beauty is mine )   

Always welcome Peter and good luck in your audiophile journey! Alex

Hi! I rarely write on forums, but glad if it could be any of help. I came across Whest few years back when did my search for a phonostage and glad I did. You can find enough comments on audiogon and other audiophile forums about their products. All Whest phonos are for both MM and MC...

I’m glad you are happy with Musical Fidelity. It’s a good starting point. When time will come to make an upgrade, I would strongly advise you to consider phonostage from Whest Audio (UK), even the entry model. All Whest gear is very special. Cheers!

Hi!  Can’t make comments about all Pro-Ject phono stages, but top of Pro-Ject line phono box RS is excellent. I auditioned it couple of times with Ortofon 2M Red and Black. It sounds really good, no background noise, very good dynamics, clarity and detail.

Well, Acoustic Sounds has finally begun offering DSD and HiRez downloads. http://store.acousticsounds.com/

Thanks for reply! The reason I’m asking is because my entire music collection is on vinyl except of few CDs. Most probably I’ll be getting AK120 soon, mainly for listening during trips, flights etc. Same time I’m thinking of archiving my vinyl collection and considering new Tascam DA3000 that...

harryb thanks for your review and sharing your experience with RWAK120S. It’s always nice to hear an opinion from someone who was into vinyl for a long time and I guess you still listen to your vinyl collection. By the way, did you rip any of the vinyl records to be played on AK120 and what...

No need to kill vinyl )) vinyl is FUN! Sometimes I’m really amazed hearing the level of information my Ortofon Windfeld + Whest SE combo can extract from the grooves, especially playing well recorded vinyl. Though if I want to back up my record collection at some stage with maximum quality, DSD...

I have mine for about 2 years by now. This one is a keeper for the moment. It's hard to find a better option at the price. I run it with Proac Tablette Anniversary and love the sound of this combo. Though I strongly believe the dedicated headphone amp would be way better than the built-in one...
