Hi everyone and greetings from Greece


I was looking to upgrade my entry level phono stage (an IFI iphono 2) to a proper one, in order to match my system (Thorens 2035, SME 309, Ortofon 2M Black- Preamp Pass Labs XP20- Power Amplifiers : 2 x Pass Labs X260.8- Speakers : Kef Reference 3.

Having read so many articles and reviews for Graham Slee products and the work behind, last Christmas (a week ago), I had contacted Graham Slee to ask him some technical information on the Accession.
Surprisingly Graham was working and promptly answered all the questions and had introduced me the responsible person for the loan program in Europe.

Without any second thought I had decided to purchase online the Accession without testing it first.

I am now eagerly anticipating the shipment of the phono stage and I will revert back with my impressions.

Best regards

Savvas

Hi Savaas, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. I look forward to hearing how much you like the Accession.

As Ifor says - you won't be disappointed.
Having tried & owned various phono stages over the years, the Accession easily tops them all.
Do give it time to reach optimum performance.

Yesterday I talked with John on the phone and he told me that my Accession would go in production later this week.

Hopefully it will be with me next week

Just upgraded to an Accession myself, you will not regret your purchase.
There are 10 kinds of people. Those who understand binary and those who don't.

Savvas!

I was so interested to read your first post and am now left with the cliffhanger! How are things working out?

I ask because I'm in a very similar situation (about which I just posted in the "Purchasing a ..." section). I have a sort of junior version of your system: KEF Ref 3's and a Pass Labs INT-60.

My vinyl front end is a lowly U-Turn with Grado Blue1 cart and in-built phono stage. I endeavor to borrow a Reflex M and Accession, but am also pondering upgrades to my cart and/or turntable itself.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on pairing the Accession with the KEF+Pass set up you have. And I'll have to add Thoren to my list of TT's to research...

Best,
Tony
