I am running a Xerxes/Artemiz/Shiraz through an Artaxerxes in a creek headphone amp into a pair of senheiser headphones.

The sound I am getting is probably the best I have ever heard. It has wonderful detail, real depth and rythm to the music and has a wonderufl soundstage.

I have listened to other TT's and in my mind nothing comes close to the full blown Xerxes.

Regards

NB

good idea to take my nait 3 and my electrostatic audio technika headphone to the dealer or to anybody other who sells axerxes or ap9.I will not have the trouble to build up the
turntable at home befor i decide to buy.
And i will not be misleaded by other room -or equipment sound.
thanks O.J.

OJ--

Errr.......no. I switched from a maxed out Xerxes X to a LP12/Geddon/Aro and think the LP12 unambiguously better (system at the time was 82/Super/active 250's/SBLs). With Kan Mk 2s and a Nait 3, an LP12 will match better than a Xerxes or P9.

So I would suggest you try an LP12 with your Nait 3/Kan2 setup...
