@surge a platform under your power supply ! wow
may I know what you used underneath your TT and your speakers lol ?
just an update : for the last 2 months I was lucky enough to have several dealers let me audition different phonos in my premise : EMT128, Kondo M7(wSUT) , CS Port (a new Japanese brand), Brinkmann Edison mk2, ASR, and SoulNote E2. My final choice is SoulNote E2 , it’s a Japanese hi-end manufacturer probably not available in NA yet but in my system (plus many showroom auditions of different brands like Nagra, Manley, Allnic, ARC) this is the best overall ( overall means it’s not overly coloured like some tube phonos but it has the density and 3-D holographic quality with excellent tonal balance and micro dynamics like some European phonos 2x the price) plus it has a built in circuitry to accommodate optical cartridges (DS)
i highly recommend anyone looking for a phono in the $7-10k range, must give it an audition.
( I upgraded my TT to Kuzma Stabi R, w/ 4 point 11 arm) my next step is to opt for a second tonearm: possible Groovemaster III. Any expert here tried this arm vs SME ? Planning to put a SPU cartridge on , any suggestions ? Ortofon ?
thanks for any advise. Happy spinning.
